Nope - it's simply that
orė is variously translated as 'heart (inner mind)' and 'rise/rising', depending on the source text.
The umlaut/diaeresis, when used in Quenya, is actually just a reminder to pronounce the letter. You always pronounce a terminal E in Quenya - Tolkien just wanted to make sure people remembered that.
