Thank you for your contribution! But unfortunately, your contribution was rejected by Gilruin. Reason:
that’s just a gerund of ren-, no need to propose it as a separate neologism
You are welcome to adapt your submission and submit it for review again.
Thanks for contributing to Parf Edhellen!
I agree that √REN is the way to go for “memory”, but I don’t think this particular neologism would add much. We already have a verb *ren- proposed from this root, that would regularly form a gerund rened “remembering” and the attested noun √RĒNē >rîn “rememberence” that could be used for “memory”.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was trying to find a word meaning "remembrance," but I missed the word when I was looking.
In that case, do you want me to reject the word? It is technically a correctly formed gerund of ren-, it just feels weird to have it as a separate neologism for the same reason we don't record its other forms renin, renig, renil, rên... separately.
lit. to remember or remembering
Memory comes from the root meaning to remember or remembering.
