G. ren(d) n. “cousin (m.), relative” (Category: Cousin)

G. ren(d) appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as a word for a male cousin or relative based on the early root ᴱ√redh- (GL/65). It had poetic equivalents G. redhweg and redhos; and the first of these also appeared in the more elaborate form G. goredhweg (GL/41). Two more variants, G. hethren and G. {gedrend >>} gedren, referred to first and second male cousins respectively, with the prefixes G. heth (for close relation) and G. ged (a more distant relation) respectively (GL/38; GL/48).

Neo-Sindarin: I would retain ᴺS. rend as a Neo-Sindarin word for “male cousin or relative” as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√RE(N)D, but would abandon all the more elaborate variants.
