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....

Samwise 07-10-2002 10:24 PM

If I haven't said so b'fore, Belle, hullo an' welcome!

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]
