Combining words in Elvish - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thank you for this interesting input. Could you explain me then, according to your findings, whether anardil is OK?

and if I understand correctly, galad is S and dil is Q? Therefore, it is not OK to mix the two dialects? Assuming it is, does galadil mean "light lover"?

Are there other words for "light" except from "c/galad"? Maybe it would work better with something else.

Anyway Tolkien himself gave Sindarin Gaerdil as a seeming equivalent to Quenya Earendil (among other versions).

What do you mean?
