A recent discussion on Neo-Quenya style provides just the excuse for a replay of one of my favorite translations, from Atwe of the Aglardh website. I love to...
If I may, I'm not certain that there are actually two opposing views here. No one is suggesting that "vulgar" Quenya and Tolkienian Quenya are the same. From...
