Hi,
I'm trying to find a name for a project I'm working on and I have some
specific criteria that I would like to follow so I thought I might be
able to get some help here. I'm looking for the opposite of 'owned',
defined as 'to have something that was obtained in the past'. The word I
would like to use should follow the definition of 'to not have the
ability to obtain or possess (again) in the future'. A friend of mine
thought that 'unobtainable' would be a good choice, and I found it to
be quite good, but to multi-syliballic; I'm looking for a shorter
word, which is also a reflection in shape and length, as well as
meaning, so as to complete the refelective feel of the two project
titles (ie. broken/fixed, in/out, owned/?).
Any help from those with a larger vocabulary greatly appreciated;
non-existant or made up pseudo english words also would be of great
help.
TIA.
