Hello Helge, I have been thinking of a word "letter" as a message, I mean, something written. As a letter is to be sent normally, why can't we use the...

As I remember, the word 'letter' replace the original old english ærendgewrit (errand writing, I guess in modern English) some time in the 1200s or so. Can we...
Thank you very much for your interest, Helge. I completely agree with the clumsiness of "Ecthelionion" and I'll be glad to let that go for a simpler form. It...

Hello, Actually, quenya (and sindarin) basic vowels are pronounced more like Spanish or Russian ones, not like English sounds. However, I found somewhere...
... This has baffled many people - probably almost everybody who reads it! However, the OED does document a pronunciation /wɛː/ for "were". I'm not sure that...
Thanks! I just got some digital edition of OED, didn't find /wɛː/, but I found 'were (wɛə(r), wɜː(r), wə(r))'. It seems that these pronunciations are...

Hello everyone, Interesting, but couldn't find anywhere the word "ent" in Quenya. In Sindarin they are called onod (in singular) and önyd/enyd (in plural). ...
... From the title of an essay "Anaxartaron Onyalie" translated as "Of eagles and ents" it is supposed that "onyalie" refers to the ents. A single ent would be...

Hi Palatinus! Thanks a lot! "Anaxartaron Onyalie"... a strange construct and a strange, I'd say, bizarre word for "eagle" :-). As for Helge's wordlists,...
