hes
noun. brother, sister, *sibling
A word ᴱQ. hes in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with stem form hest-. It was used as a generic term for “brother, sister”, hence = “✱sibling”, and derived from the early root ᴱ√HESE (QL/40).
Neo-Quenya: For purposes of Quenya-Sindarin, I would retain the word ᴺQ. hes as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√KHETH to serve as a gender-neutral term for “sibling”.
