Q. autas, n. “a former occur[rence]”. Reference ✧ PE22/168 ✧ “a former occur[rence]”. Derivations. < √WĀ/AWA “away (from); go (away), depart, pass away; before of time, ago” ✧ PE22/168.2101 (awa)
That word seems to me fitting for qualification: Arya (ná) hehta autaseli/autalli enge. "It is better to leave some past occurrences in the past." (sounds like a Middle Earth proverb)
Also noun comparison: Ta autas náne, lá tulurya meresta. "That was a past occurrence, not a future objective." In other words, "It won't happen again."
Actually, yet another E phrasing is "some (past) things are best forgotten" with reference to your post regarding "forget". So by periphrasis "to forget (a past occurrence or event)" ~ hehta enge.
Hmm. Autas might also be used generally for “happening” or “event”, but only of one that definitely occurred in the past. This would be opposed by tulma from TUL would could be used for future and hypothetical events.
