ᴺQ. !autaila adj. “going away, passing away” (Category: to Depart, Go Away)

ᴺQ. !autaila, adj. “going away, passing away” (Category: to Depart, Go Away)
See ᴱQ. avanwa for discussion.

Elements

Q. auta-¹ “to go (away), depart, leave; to pass away, disappear, be lost”
Q. -(i)la “active participle”

ᴱQ. avanwa adj. “going, passing, nearly gone” (Category: to Depart, Go Away)

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”.
