-o (pl. -ion and -ron) is the Quenya and Telerin element that marks the genitive of nouns. [1]
It is derived from the element HO "from" used as an enclitic and eventually as a suffix.
Examples
- Oromëo: "coming from Orome, of Orome" [1]
- Elenna-nórëo: "of the Land of the Star" [2]
- Rithil-Anamo"Doom Ring" [3]
- Rúmilo"of Rúmil" [4]
- aran Lestanórëo"King of Doriath"[1]
