Suilad, Forgive me if this is beating a dead horse, however, I was in the process of making a reply to this thread waaay back when - when the responsibilities...
Dear Annaka, ... Well, no - because there still seem to be many misconceptions around, which can still be and should be cleared up. I hope you're not just...

From time to time, I need to consult a Quenya wordlist, even when I am not home. It's quite easy to visit Ardalambion, find the "Quenya Wordlists" page and...

I've been studying Quenya using Mr. Fauskanger's delightful course with a group from school. Out of a desire to begin with a larger vocabulary than Fauskanger...

I am not sure that this is the proper venue for a question like this, but just hit delete if there is a problem :) The reason that these seem to follow a...
Suilad Abrigon - I can't answer your 'Ecco' question, but your inclusion of 'Telephone/far speak' at the end made me want to comment on at least one subculture...
Yes it is why we can create proto-Indo-European, looking at the older forms, and then how they changes but mostly how much in common they have and based on...

The CVCV root explains Feanor's statement that "our fathers... in building words took the vowels and parted them with the consonants as walls" (VT39:10) We...
Actually, at least in the case of greek, many of the VV combinations were due to the loss of w, h, or s. There was a letter (digamma) for the bilabial, which...
Thanks for alerting me to ERK-, and thanks for your other citations. Add to the items you cited _ercasse_ 'holly', the shrub with the prickly dark green...
You have nicely pointed out how hiatus in Greek may be precipitated by sound changes: loss of digamma, intervocalic sigma, spiritus asper. I thought you were...

I think you have the tengwar generator set to something that is not Quenya, like Sindarin or English. The direction of reading the vowel-on-top looks backwards...
