I am trying to translate Canticum 6,9 into Quenya (and, yes, the context is a love letter). I am taking the Vulgata text as a base: quae est ista quae...

... As the so called 'poet' [not possessing any poetic talents I shouldn't use this term] in Quenya and Sindarin I also have to 're-construct' many forms [for...
... I have considered this question already, but I cannot come to any certain conclusion on the basis of available data. Historically, the genitive of alqua...
... Telerin stage? (If CT is meant to be the language of Teleri after Noldor and Vanyar were gone to Valinor, and not a Telerian dialect of Common Eldarin.) ...
... In my opinion the Telerin initial _i-_ must have been pronounced as [ j- ] - like in Sindarin: CE *_julmá_ 'drinking-vessel' > CT *_julma_ > T *_iulma_; ...
... I believe this KWOR is inconsistent with Quenya phonology. There are no attested roots in mature Eldarin showing the sequence -kwo- (or -kwu-), suggesting...
... While this is a reasonable argument, assuming that the words are presented correctly, there is another interpretation; namely, that the first element in...
... **Seems a bit strange to me. Pa. t. of _har-_ would be _harne_ or ever maybe _haare_, but very likely not _haarane_. _har-_ is of the same pattern as...
Aiya ilye quenyandilin! 1. May be, this problem is already discussed somewhere, but - how to express "or" in Quenya? a) The first thought appearing in a head...
... **Some use _var_ "or" attested in the early Qenya Lexicon, which might be invalid. The others use *_ecar_ back-formed from Sindarin _egor_ "or", which...
Sorry to bother the "translating staff", but I have more serious stuff! ;-) The US fanzine VT n39 contains many important features about Q. published for the ...
Someone on this list asked if anyone has been teaching Elvish (or maybe "how to teach"? I don’t remember, sorry.) I will be giving Quenya lessons on...
Aiya Ilye! Do you want to read about the Elvish Linguistic Calendar? Haven't you heard about Elvish cakes baked by Galadhorn? And maybe you are interested in...
... I have tried to guess what Edouard seemed writing about the four Quenya grammars. I suppose he thought about the fragmentary grammars known from the ...
Hello, I'm trying to translate the phrase "May Eru watch over your paths" into Quenya; but I'm a bit unsure how some of it should go. I currently have, "Nai...

... <snip> ... There is also from this same woodland Elvish the word lêg "green" as in Leg(g)olas. Tolkien wrote _lêg_ not _leg_ as published in Letters. I...
Those who use Quenya decline its nouns as in the so called "Dick Plotz declension chart" which was published many years ago. But other cases could be used as...
... Sure it could be nice if everybody, including me and you, knew how to use/speak/write Quenya. It looks as if you thought that Tolkien's Elven languages...
Dear Friends, If you want to see a new list of Tolkien's resources found in the periodicals (like "Vinyar Tengwar", "Parma Eldalamberon", etc) see my ...
Hello, i'm new to this group and i has not learned so much sindarin or quenia. Is there someone that can translate my name into sindarin, my name is Johan and...
This is something I´ve never understood fully. When you see tengwar writing all around the net, it´s always written from the right to the left. But what´s...

Tolkien wrote the verb "lerta" (In VT 41:6) which is then corrected by a "read lertan". But I don't agree. It could be either _present_ leertan/lértan or...
