Hi all

mini-observation here about S 'pen' 'without, lacking'. If there were a

Welsh cognate to Old Irish 'cen' 'without, lacking' it would be 'pen'...a

little Tolkienian joke perhaps. Or totally subconscious?! I always find it

amazing how utterly saturated Tolkien's mind must have been in these kind of

things.

(like the famous iaur/iar-hen-old connection: as we know, Iaur (iar in

composition) is 'old' in S, but means  'hen' in Welsh...whereas the Welsh

word 'hen' means 'old'...)



[Welsh actually uses 'heb' for 'without' which is cog. with Irish 'sech',

meaning 'besides'.]

Seems right to me, although the design of the

Yanta needs improvement :)

Hi everyone! I'm new to the list (and to the writing of Tolkien

languages) and since I already have a question about a word I wrote in

script, I guessed that I would ask in my first post.



The script is in Quenya (or at least I'm fairly certain of that) and

can be seen here:

The word itself is oiale which (and again I'm double guessing myself

here) means everlasting (age implied).



So, I'm really just checking to see if I understood it and wrote

everything correctly.  Your help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in

advance...
