NO is a Primitive Quendian root. ON/NO (or ONO/NŌ) signifies "beget/be born". NŌ (or NO) signifies "generation, people, folk, large group regarded as of common ancestry".[1]
While ONO shortly is explained as signifying "beget, give birth to", a longer signification is given as "family, tribe or group having a common ancestry, the land or region in which they dwelt".[2] The latter signification shows the blending with NDOR/DORO.[1][2]

NŌ-, NOWO? (NONO?)
Also in the Qenya Lexicon appears the root NŌ-, NOWO? (NONO?), signifying "ahead, in front; after, of time; tomorrow" (one of the derivatives is Qenya nuo "tomorrow").[4] Patrick H. Wynne therefore connects this early root to the late Quenya word noa ("tomorrow" or "yesterday").[5]
