Not attested in canon as an independent word.  {nen} does appear, however, as
an element in:

  nenghep  Age of Ascension

  nentay   Rite of Ascension
    nentay wa'DIch   First Rite of Ascension (KGT 177)
    nentay cha'DIch  Second Rite of Ascension (KGT 65)

Note also the homophonous verb {nen} "be mature, be grown-up, be adult" and
{nenchoH} "mature, grow up".
