nó-
verb. to be born, become
A verb appearing as ᴱQ. nó- “be born” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√NŌ “become, be born”, with an unusual past[?] form nōte (QL/66). Somewhat later Tolkien added the gloss “become” to the verb nó- as well.
Neo-Quenya: I would retain ᴺQ. nó- “be born” for purposes of Neo-Quenya since the root √NŌ survived in his later writings, and this verb is somewhat supported by the later adjective nóna “born”, and I would conjugate it like ná- “be”. For “become” I would use ola-.
