ONO 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]
Derivatives
- Quenya: onta ("beget"); nosta ("be begotten"); onwe, onna ("child")[1]
- blended with NDOR/DORO
Other versions
NŌ-, ONO-
In the Etymologies appear the related roots NŌ- and ONO-, both signifying "beget". From these roots derive:[3]
- NŌ-
- Quenya: onóro ("brother"), onóne ("sister")
- Old Noldorin: wanúro
- Noldorin: gwanur
- ONO-
- Quenya: onta-; onna ("creature"); ontaro ("begetter, parent"); ontani (parents)
- Noldorin: odhron ("parent"); ed-onna ("beget"); ûn ("creature")
NŌ-
In the Qenya Lexicon appears the root NŌ-, signifying "become, be born".[4]
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]
