ᴺS. !aenor, n. “god” [created by Fiona Jallings] (Category: God)

A neologism for “a god” opposed to “God” (Eru), based on Gnomish ain¹. A direct adaptation of the Gnomish form would be aen, but that conflicts with aen “should be”; Fiona Jallings suggested the extended form aenor in a Discord chat in August 2019.
