Hi, can anyone advise me as to what to do when someone's posting comes out on my computer as a series of symbols, numbers and gobbledigook? It's becoming very...
Hi I am interested in translating my name into elvish respectively Quenya. My name is Rasmus which comes from Erasmus and means the beloved. What i thought...
... Quenya. ... In Quenya, the word 'beloved' is _melda_. As Rasmus is a male name, you could make _melda_ into a male name by adding -o or -on to get Meldo or...

Greetings, As I quickly become bored if something is easy, I've been working on Bilbo's Song of Eärendil! No, I'm not going to post it all!! I'm going to give...
Hi folks. Does anyone know a word for "emblem" or "coat of arms" (preferably in Quenya)? I've looked up the common wordlists but could not found anything :/ ...

I apologize for asking for help.\ I am trying to translate 'I had to fall'. _lantenye_ , but I am having difficulty finding the verb has, have, had. Can...
The verb "to have" is _harya_, meaning "to possess", so you could say _Haryaneynë lanta_. However, I think this sentence would be best rendered using the...
Thank you for all your help. I thought that _lanta_ " to fall" had a physical meaning, while lante had a more moral meaning, like "defeat", or a "fall from...
... You are confusing the verb with the noun. The verb "to fall" is _lanta-_. It can mean either a physical fall or a moral one depending on the context. The...
Hi All, the following is a neoQuenya translation of the first 16 lines of the poem The Flight of the Noldoli, from HoME III. Also posted in my Auriquenta...

Here for your consideration is the next section of Bilbo's song. This is the part I would be most inclined to omit, since some of the vocabulary is doubtful,...
May I make one or two suggestions, not being totally sure of my ground, but having checked what I can. _lotarwë_ I'm not sure if this is the correct form...
Mae govannen all, I am hoping to undertake a serious study of Sindarin and would like to find some kind of "immersion" list or forum where Sindarin is ...

Hi, since I also translated (a part of) this song a while ago it would not be fair from me to offer any comments since I'd be biased towards my solutions;...

OK I concede; still that does not entirely exclude the possibility that those unglossed numerals were meant to represent 30, 40 etc. Maybe we will be wiser...
