Wouldn't that be "being taken away"?

1. "weggenommen (worden) sein"
       has the meaning "it's gone"
2. "weggenommen werden"
       describes the action of taking away

I'm not sure, but I still think it's option 1. I've never seen a Klingon word resembling this kind of 
option-2 passive. How would you use that word? I think you'd use {tlhap} instead
