Methinks you're right - I was misled by
Oiolossëo, where the final vowel is retained before the ending, but that's probably because
e and
o (unlike
a and
o) are dissimilar enough not to make the resulting cluster too uncouth. We also have in
Namárië the form
Calaciryo, genitive of
Calacirya, so that looks like a rule - which leaves us with
hína Eö.
