Yes

Why players ask
NE means born with the name of, the masculine form of the word you see in phrases like born Smith. It is one of the quieter entries on the two-letter list and one of the most useful, because N and E are among the commonest tiles you will hold. Like RE and ER it earns its keep in parallel plays rather than on its own.
