First of all sorry for bring this thread again to the first place. I only want to explain some of my thoughts about the project in my version.
That’s derived from the recent commentaries about the inclusion of philological texts into the narrative. In my opinion there is enough philological material to make one great volume or several. And I don’t think this must be the proposal of this project, for me is clear what I want, and this will not be my work. It is necessary to include all material explaining the origin of the languages and its relations, historical texts; and insert into the narrative those paragraphs and sentences that provides historical, descriptive, etc information if is inserted much material including philological roots, stems, etc in my opinion don’t work, and it would have to be added such works like: Rivers and beacon hills, notes on Óre, Eldarin fingers, hands and numerals, the whole etimologies with its addendas, the whole text of WPaP, The lexicons, Ros, whole Shibboleth, whole Q&E, whole Descending of tongues, qenya and noldorin verb and noun structures, alphabets, etc, etc, etc all published in PE and VT. Well, I resolve some things by adding some information in the guide of names that I constructed and finally inserted in my volume 0, but this guide is out of the narrative, and if I think in my own preferences I only want to read a story, and the linguistic part left to the professionals that is what was the professor. If I want to see linguistic information I go to the sources. I have a pity that from the beginning, much time before I discovered this page, even much time before this page was created, I started my project in spanish and without the source notes marks (I was much less professional than you), and it's too late for me to retranslate and give the source marks that in many places I don't remember from where were. I work now only by memory because I have my books printed many years ago, and only from time to time I reprint them with accumulated minor changes in many cases better retranslations. And that’s what I want, reprint again and hope for the last time, and enjoy with the work, because I’m growing old and have a severe eye illness. This project is endless, because there are for sure much more material unpublished, and of course the work in this page will make me do minor changes. Lastly I want to include in this post the structure updated with the addition of my edited Ambarcanta that in its time didn’t want to include mostly because of lacking of original and useful professor maps (unless it be used maps from other sources like, say, Mrs. Fonstad). But now I changed my mind and decided include it.
