pan
noun. arrangement, settlement; place, spot
A word appearing as G. pan “arrangement, settlement; place, spot” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/63), clearly based on the early root ᴱ√PANA “arrange” (QL/72).
Neo-Sindarin: Since √PAN “arrange” continued to appear in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain ᴺS. pan for purposes of Neo-Sindarin with the senses “arrangement, settlement, ✱grouping”, but for “place, spot” I would use later S. sad.
