√OWO root. “masculine”
A primitive form or root in Common Eldarin: Noun Structure from the early 1950s serving as the basis for masculinizing suffixes and “adjectival” ✶wonā (PE21/82-83). A similar set of ancient masculine 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). It may be a conceptual variation of √EWE, which was sometimes used masculine suffixes and sometimes for neuter ones. For most purposes of Neo-Eldarin, I think it is best to limit this root to suffixes.
