noun. seizure
A noun appearing as G. nabos “seizure” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a noun form of G. nab- “take, lay hold of”; compare also G. naptha- “seize” (GL/59). It was followed by an oth in parenthesis, probably indicating an alternate form or [nab]oth.
Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain ᴺS. nab- “take, lay hold of” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, I would adapt this noun as ᴺS. nabas “seizure” = “✱act of taking”.
