nosied
noun. kinsman
A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “kinsman”, a combination of G. nôs “birthday” and G. ged “†kinsman” (GL/61), hence probably “kinsman by birth”. In one place it appeared in the form nosged, but this was deleted and replaced by nosied (GL/38).

rese
root. kinsman
reðe
root. kinsman
The form reðe was a root added under ᴱ√RESE [REÞE] “aid, support” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, with derivatives of ᴱ√RESE having to do with “kinship” reassigned to reðe, such as ᴱQ. renda “related, of the same kin or clan” and ᴱQ. resse “kinswoman, cousin” (QL/79). In the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon Tolkien had a similar set of words likewise derived from distinct reth- vs. redh-, with the latter most likely being the basis for words like G. redhin “related” and G. ress “cousin (f.), relative” (GL/65). The root was given as RESE- “kinsman” in the Poetic and Mythological Words of Eldarissa (PME/79), but the addition of reðe may be later than that document.
Neo-Eldarin: For purposes of Neo-Eldarin, I think it is worth positing a Neo-Root ᴺ√RE(N)D to preserve these early kinship and cousin words, for which we have no later alternatives. It might be considered a variant of later root √RED “scatter, sow” (Ety/RED; PE19/91) and thus applied only to more distant kin.

rendo
noun. kinsman, cousin
A noun appearing as ᴱQ. {rendo >>} rēro (rendo) “kinsman, cousin” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s, under the early root ᴱ√RESE “aid, support ?” (QL/79); the question mark was Tolkien’s. Tolkien later added a note to this entry clarifying that the “kin, cousin” words were derived from primitive reðe; see the entry on ᴱ√REÐE for further discussion.
Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. rendo “male cousin, kinsman or relative” from a Neo-Root ᴺ√RE(N)D.

Neo-Quenya: I would adapt this word as ᴺQ. ressë “female cousin, kinsman or relative” from a Neo-Root ᴺ√RE(N)D. The primitive form ✱red-se would become retsë in Quenya, but I would assume this word was altered to ressë by analogy with other feminine forms like nissë “woman”.
