I believe that's what we all want. Unfortunately, a lot of Quenya is left up to interpretation, so in some ways, you have to become your own "Lambengolmo," or...
Thank you Thorsten! I've been reading this discussion and thinking about it, and I think you summed up everything excellently. I do want to add one small...

I found an old reference on Parma Eldalamberon 17 which lists the Sindarin verb "sevin" but it doesn't mention its meaning. This reference also suggests its...
