ᴱN. crann- v. “to finish, complete, accomplish” (Category: to Finish)
The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. cranta- “finish, achieve, accomplish” based on the early root ᴱ√car- (GL/26). In Gnomish Lexicon Slips modifying that document it became crantha- “complete” (PE13/111). The Early Noldorin Dictionary of the 1920s had ᴱN. crann- [inf. crenni] with the gloss “to finish, complete, accomplish” based on ᴱN. cara- “to make, do, perform, act” (PE13/161).
Neo-Sindarin: Since √KAR “do, make” survives in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d retain ᴺS. cranna- “to finish, complete, accomplish, achieve” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin.
