Thanks all.

Actually, and this is what amazes even me. I made that recording before ever hearing Tolkien's version. I just didn't post it for so long for 2 reasons (I was embarrased and 2nd I didn't have a server that would host .wav files). And what is even stranger is that I have a pronounced hearing loss in both ears (about 40 to 50%).

I have been a student of languages since I was 13. I started taking Latin then.

The only name in the Sil that I really have a hard time with is Aulë. Is this pronounced Ah-ooh-lay or A-ooh-lay or Oww-lay?
