G. hant² n. “throw, cast; turn or move in games” (Category: to Throw)
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a throw, a cast”, as well as “a turn, move, go, etc. in games and so on” (GL/48), clearly based the early root ᴱ√HATA (GL/48).
Neo-Sindarin: Since the similar root ᴹ√KHAT “hurl” survived in Tolkien’s later writings, I would retain the noun ᴺS. hant “throw, cast” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, with the extended meaning “turn or move in games”.
