EYE root. “feminine”

⚠️EYE root. “feminine”
NĪ/INI “[ᴹ√] female”

A primitive suffixal form appearing in Common Eldarin: Noun Structure and serving as the basis of feminine words, most notably the femininizing suffixes and and “adjectival” ✶yenā (PE21/82-83) (PE21/82-83). A similar set of ancient feminine suffixes appeared in the first version of notes on Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s (PE23/87), and again in notes on Eldarin Pronouns, Demonstratives, and Correlatives (EP1) from the early 1950s (PE23/129). For most purposes of Neo-Eldarin, I think it is best to limit this root to suffixes.
