rē/ere
root. bear, produce
A root appearing as {GERE/GRÉ >>} ERE/RÉ “bear, produce” in drafts for the first version of Quenya Personal Pronouns (QPP1) from the late 1940s, contrasted with masculine ᴹ√NŌ/ONO “beget” (PE23/87 note #85). In these rejected notes, RÉ was the basis for various feminine adjectives and NŌ the basis for various masculine adjectives. Elsewhere √NŌ was not specifically masculine, so I think this was a transient idea.
