it has been done

I think it is somewhat of a right of passage for anyone who dcides they want to learn Sindarin or Quenya to create a dictionary on whatever scale
there are certainly several examples of such on the net, and I have the humble beginings of one at my board [letters' a' nd 'b ' from Lost road, and the Silm. I hope to incorporate UT and LotR words this eve and then add 1 lettera week and then start allover again w/ the LotR words i come across, Letters and volumes 10-12 of HoME and there are also a few odds and endsof Vocabulary of JRRT being published by the Vinyar Tengwar journal . so yes there is much being done,has been done and could be done!
As daunting as something like a dict. might seem if you kept a set of index cards w/ you when you read and just noted words as they came up and then look up their meanings at the end, you would have a fair sized dicyt. in a year or so eh?
