Halbereth Diagona, I don't know much elvish myself, but I know there's a book called "An Introduction to Elvish" you can try. Can't remember the author though..
Gamgee, this thread is great! The problem is, most of them wouldn't work on my mum... First of all, she already knows I'm barking mad, second, she'll understand all of them and just make some smart reply... I might try them on dad though... Or my stepbrother.. Somehow I think just the fact that I can quote english books completely out of context make my classmates think I'm daft.. For some reason they seem to think that it'd be natural for norwegian people to speak Norwegian.. Odd.. I'll ahve to try out that light of Earendil on them once... :-)
