We have Sindarin <govannas> "community, fellowship", which I guess is made up of: <go-> "together"; + <-vann-> ? + <-as> "-ship". The Sindarin word-shape seems...
Interesting.. Makes you wonder? Anyone done other ancient languages using Tengwar or like? Mike ... From: "Shreyas Sampat <laopooh@y...>" <laopooh@y...> ...
It's that time of year again - Pentecost, and the requisite Bible readings in different languages. A few years ago, I worked on this translation with the...
Hi Everybody, Ambar Eldaron is very proud to propose you it's Quenya-English Dictionary, in book-format (Pocket (292p.) and Royal (196p.)). As always, you will...
I think you might be reading a little too much into this. _Sam-_ and _harya-_ are, I believe, synonyms. _Sam-_ is Tolkien's latest verb for "have"; it's...
I was hoping you could help me verificate the transcript of the names of my children, which I need for my tattoo. Their names are Sander & Charlotte. I have...
Spurred on by a recent discussion in the list, I began to question whether I understood the Quenya verbs for 'have.' Can someone help me confirm that I'm ...
Hi all, I have a question since several years. I have the book "Introduction to Elvish", which is a composition of articles by various authors, edited by Jim...
I have a question on a phrase: does Ostiant or Chalenduin seem to you like a valid Sindarin construction that would be easily understood? And am I correct in...
As I am preparing to record this in a couple of days, I want to get a bit more input from the other members here regarding correctness. I have been working...
While the discussion up to this point has been, on the whole, civil, I'd like to make the following suggestions that may help guide it in a slightly more...
A small group having made contact with each other, I'm beginning to work on Sindarin again, after several years of not looking at it. To aid my work I'm making...
It has been a loooooong time since I attempted anything new in Quenya. About ten years, actually. So this is probably pretty rusty. Also, I wrote the poem in...
Hello everyone. So... The sentence is "this book is mine" (yeah...starting basic). I camed up with this: "_parma sina naa nyeva_". I'm slightly worried about...
No one really knows what the partitive plural ending really means (unless something has been published recently and no one has talked about it yet.) Tolkien...
Hi I know you guys must get fed up of people asking to get English inscriptions translated to Elvish. Sorry, but I need some help! I have spent ages trying to...
Thanks to all who have come in on this. As I said, I was expressing a momentary irritation - absolutely nothing more, and am sure that there is no need for...
When posing a question in Quenya, are there any special particles or parts of speech which should be included, or are questions solely based on tone of voice...
Hello everyone! So, as you all may have noticed, i just joined this mailing list. I mainly intend to stay in the shadows and pick up things about not only...
I know that Quenya has man(who), manna(what), and ma, the interrogative particle, but I've never found out how to ask questions in Sindarin. Do we know any...
A few days ago, I began with the study of Sindarin (as complete as it can be in these days). I found Thorsten Renk's “course” and, of course, I looked at...
Aiya, meldonyar! Are there Quenya words for the days of the week, eg: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc? I am as of yet unable to find any online. ...
Greetings, and a happy and blessed Easter to you all! I'm just fine tuning a prayer of praise written by Aragorn in his last days. I'm wanting to write about...
After making an initial attempt to post to this list requesting some starting points, and the subsequent moderation bounce, I managed to develop some baseline...
[I apologize in advance for this lengthy post.] A little while ago I posted a Sindarin Babel text. However, I did not include an index of neologisms, and...
There are Quenya Days of the week in Appendix D of Lord of the Rings. Eldarin weeks were six days, though, so there aren't direct equivalents to English days...
Hey all, it's been a while since my last post, so I apologize for this being so long, but I was wondering how you would tell the difference between Active...
Mellyn! The production of _Arda Philology_ 2, the proceedings of the second Omentielva conference, held in Antwerp in 2007, has been interrupted by other...
