Comparative form of forlorn; more lonely, abandoned, hopeless, or miserable than something else.
Regular English comparative formation from 'forlorn,' using the '-er' suffix. This form would be used when comparing the state of forlornness between two things.
Modern English usually says 'more forlorn' instead of 'forlorner,' but in older texts you'll see 'forlorner'—it's another example of how English lost the '-er' comparatives for longer words, keeping them only for short ones.
