WOW! Lindil, thanks no end for bringing Osanwe-Kente to the Books Forum.
you are of course welcome!

It boggles my mind that CJRT would have left this out of HoME [heck I would have at least put it in UT to get into circulation as soon as possible. But at least we have it now.

I apologize that I do not have time to go more fully into some of your questions, but between the text itself [ and more of it than is presented above may soon appear at the Osanwe site linked below]and Sharon's excellent reply most of your queries should be answered.

again the link to order the O-K is www.elvish.org

make sure you get the O-K itself [ a later issue has 'etymological notes on the O-K'] which is interesting also, but it is not the whole essay.
