ONO
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".
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". The latter signification shows the blending with NDOR/DORO.
Derivatives

Other versions
NŌ-, ONO-
In the Etymologies appear the related roots NŌ- and ONO-, both signifying "beget". From these roots derive:

- — Old Noldorin: wanūro
- — Noldorin: gwanur
- ONO-
- — Quenya: onta-; onna ("creature"); ontaro ("begetter, parent"); ontaru (parents)

NŌ-
In the Qenya Lexicon appears the root NŌ-, signifying "become, be born".
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"). Patrick H. Wynne therefore connects this early root to the late Quenya word noa ("tomorrow" or "yesterday").
