Greetings! I'm working on a new poem in Quenya about Gondolin, in Turgon's voice, and have a query about the various Sindarin place names. I know that these...

... Since we do not seem to have any nouns for "hunger" or "thirst" - at least I could not find any - some construction with the adjective "maita" looks like...
As so often I befuddled my own meaning on first writing, and what's more I misunderstood the input and didn't have the wordlists handy to check. My meaning was...
Hello all, Following the language-to-language comparative mode used thus far, unless an impediment to any of the choices presented here is attested or derived,...
Friends, Greetings! I'm running into problems with what is becoming an epic poem on Gondolin. There is, as far as I can discover no Quenya word for _arch_. It...
Alright. So what I've gathered so far is that it's pretty much personal preference when using idioms like this to construct phrases. That's good to know....
Susan, Thanks for posting your poem to the list, I enjoyed it greatly. It is also helping me figure out Quenya syntax and phrasing better. We all appreciate ...
