ᴺQ. !nananta- v. “to give back, *return [something]” (Category: to Return, Give Back)

ᴺQ. !nananta-, v. “to give back, *return [something]” [created by Helge Fauskanger, NQNT] (Category: to Return, Give Back)

A neologism for “return” = “give back” coined by Helge Fauskanger for his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT) as a combination of nan- “back” and anta- “give”. He also used [ᴺQ.] atanta- for “give back”, but I think this is less appropriate since at(a)- more properly means “a second time”. I think the verb nantul- “return = give back” can coexist nantul- “return = come back”, since the actual meanings are not the same.
