avanwa

adjective. going, passing, nearly gone

An adjective appearing as ᴱQ. avanwa “going, passing, nearly gone” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√AVA “go away, depart, leave” (QL/33). It seems to have a present-tense sense, that is “✱currently going/passing”, as opposed to contemporaneous ᴱQ. vanwa with a past-tense sense: “gone, past, over, lost” (QL/99).

Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Neo-Quenya, I’d simply use the active participle of the later verb auta- “go away, pass away, departing”, as in ᴺQ. autaila “going away, passing away”.

ya(n)

The usual word for “and” in the 1910s was ᴱQ. ya(n) (PE15/69, VT40/8). It was derived from the early root ᴱ√YA (or possibly ᴱ√(D)YṆTṆ) in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s (QL/104-105). In his later writings, the usual word for “and” was Q. ar, but something like ya(n) survived in the “dual” conjunction yo “both ... and”.
