onot- vb. "count up" (NOT). Compare not-.

#onótië noun "reckoning" (isolated from Yénonótië *"reckoning of years", MR:51)

Onótimo noun *"Reckoner" (the untranslated title of one Quennar, an expert of chronology) (MR:48-51)

onta- (pa.t. ónë or ontanë) vb. "beget, create" (ONO, PE17:170)

ontamo noun “mason (sculptor)” (PE17:107-108); this is a compound on(do) “stone” + tamo “smith”.

ontani form cited in the Etymologies as printed in LR, entry ONO: supposedly the pl. of ontaro, ontarë noun "parent" (m. and. f.) Comparison with the singulars indicate that the n of ontani should actually be r. Thus ontani could be a misreading for ontari (SD:73), but according to VT46:7 the actual manuscript reading is ontaru, evidently a dual form referring to two parents.

ontar noun prob. *"begetter, parent" (a gender-neutral term, applied to a woman in the source; compare the various gender-specific forms below) (VT44:7). Dual ontaru “(two) parents” (see ontani above).
