Hi, belle. Mae Govannan. Elen sila lummenn' omentielvo. (Well met. A star shines on the hour of our metting.)

Here is a site that will help you with words and phrases in Sindarian. The Grey Company You can download their Sindarian word and phrase dictionary into Word. Very helpful.

Also, to learn Quenya or Sindarian, this is a good site. Ardalambion

If you still want to know more go to the languages forum here.

Ooh, the Grey Company is not a good place to learn Elvish; it isn't the real language, it's just based on it.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-10-2002, 06:44 PM

Oh I know a really good website, Aradalambion, hold on, let me get it...http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/
Hope this helps!!
By the way, welcome to the Downs!!!!!

I agree with Nevfeniel, the Grey company is not accurate at ALL! Here are a couple more "better" sites:
Quenya: http://members.ams.chello.nl/a.grigny/quenya.html
http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/qlist.htm
http://www.rialian.com/quenya-english.htm

Both langs: http://www.forodrim.org/daeron/md_parl.html
http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/

I've never heard of lajv....

Hi Belle! In norwegian at least, lajv or laiv is just a way of saying live, that is live role-playing game.

The Silver-shod Muse · 07-11-2002, 05:20 PM

Rest In Peace, belle. Don't worry, I can't speak a word of Elvish [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img].

Samwise · 07-11-2002, 08:08 PM

Niether can I--'cept "Mae Govannen", "mellon", and "Perinath Mellon". Considering how much there is to the language however, that ain't squat. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Quote:

"Coming, Mr. Frodo, coming!" called Sam, and flung himself from the bank, clutching at the departing boat. He missed it by a yard. With a cry and a splash he fell face downward into the deep swift water. Gurgling he went under, and the River closed over his curly head.
