Help wanted - Ideas for a "Elvish" commission....

[Encaitare]

Sounds cool... I wish I didn't have so much homework so I could work on my Elvish studies a bit more...

You could check out this site for some samples of poetry: http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/language.htm

Or you could do "The world is changed. I feel it in the water; I feel it in the earth; I smell it in the air," which is a cool quote. I dunno if you want anything water-related like you said the other one was.

This in elvish (at least according to the movie, and I think they got it right) is:

I amar prestar aen.
Han mathon ne nen.
Han mathon ne chae.
A han noston ned gwilith.

You could also do some lines from either of Galadriel's songs. I personally like "Like gold fall the leaves in the wind, long years numberless as the wings of trees" and "But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come for me? What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a sea?" The first is, of course, in FotR in Quenya. The second song can be found in elvish here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~xelag/quenya_comp_i_sang.html

EDIT: just realized you'd probably want it in Tengwar; this is a great Tengwar site: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4948/tengwar/

Good luck!

The ROad had occurred but I wanted to cast the net a bit further - and if I chose to use them... use them because I wanted them best rather than because they were all I had .. so thanks for the links ...

Only trouble is with the world is changing thing ... is I always want to say "I feel it in my water" and I don't want an elvish guzunder especially! But I do love "O lorien" so I will certainly check it out...
