Eldamo : Middle Quenya : -no

ᴹQ. -no suf. “male” (Category: Male)

ᴹQ. -no, suf. “male” (Category: Male)

A masculinizing suffix for pronominal forms in Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s (PE23/102), so that for example mane “who (neutral)” could become mano “who (male)” and ane “someone” could become ano “someone (male)”. It is probably based on the contemporaneous masculine primitive suffix ✶-owo.
