Hi, I am new to the whole Tolkien's world of language but I wanted to request other's feedback on a possible quenya's transliteration of the plant "Asea...
I kind of like Council of Elrond's "keep to the source"-ish idea, _le eglerion_ (or _aglar le_) for thanking. Anwar! Nowadays, one should also take notice of...
Welcome! If you haven't done so, google for 'Sindarin phrasebook' ... Fans usually use 'le hannon' ... I don't understand the 'plus -an', where does it...
Hello, I have been lurking in the wings for a bit, usually very daunted by the much more advanced linguistic skills and knowledge of those who post here. My...
Regarding _*aphadad_ / _*aphadod_, Tolkien seems to have liked changing his mind (what else is new? xD): In a rejected sketch of verbs (PE13:126) for early...
... When was the pres 1 sg. _aphadon_ the first time? ;) (OK, thanks a lot for the tidbit. ... Btw, did Tolkien himself use the term "gerund" even? :-o) Elhath...

... Hello, Julia: The main error I'd note is with the Yślien Sindarin / Sindarin Classic, where you represent Y- as the Sindarin vowel y (ü) rather than the...
... OK, except for the G. In the English Tengwar modes that I know, Anga stands for the "jive, gem, jay" sound. You should use Ungwe instead. ... You probably...
... I understand. As I previously wrote, it is warrantable for one to read _aphad_ as a haplological or poetical variant of the gerund (per analogy with other...
Hello Elflings! I translated and transcribed just a few simple single words into Quenia/Sindarin and Tengwar (annatar). It would be great if you could just...

Hello, I have not listened to that particular rendering (yet), but as you describe it it definitely sounds as if the lady has made her own pronunciation rules....
... Hm, you have given me a lot to think about. I have noted the absence of "until" painfully indeed. Considering that Prof. Tolkien derived quite a few...
