Remember, we're not Elves. 🤔

And there is no speaker of Elvish (in any form or shape).

English words with * = my proposition/addition.

{ } = my addition for better comprehension

The tengwar are used according to the ára-tencela mode.

Remember, we're not Elves. 🤔

Interjections are particularly fun to use but extremely hard to explain, define in a dictionary.

And there is no speaker of Elvish (in any form or shape).

English word with * = my proposition.

“I have found it! Lo!” = Tolkien's translation. I use “ ”

Underlined Quenya sentence = sentence written by Tolkien.

Look, I found it! = My translation (adaptation).

I have returned working on my Dictionary of Quenya and Telerin.

A few Telerin words. Telerin is an Elvish tongue close to Quenya.
See how the famous greeting is in Telerin compares to that same sentence in Quenya in "The Lord of the Rings".

English words with _*_ were added by me.

C.T. = Common Telerin
P.Q. = Primitive Quenderin = the mother tongue of all Elvish languages.
C.E. = Common Eldarin = the mother tongue of Quenya, Telerin and Sindarin.

#tolkien #quenya #telerin

Quenya "laune".

The word is written in Alcarin Tengwar in the ára-tencele mode.

The underlined sentence was written by Tolkien. LQ3 = is the Quenya language from c.1930 to 1949.
Not the same in grammar in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion". That language is marked TQ for Tarquesta.

The starred English words are my additions to Tolkien own definition of the Elvish words, here Quenya "ainas".
The word is written in Alcarin Tengwar in the ára-tencele mode.

I've been researching #Quenya and the #Tengwar and I do not find them aesthetically appealing. I get that they were created with aesthetics as a goal but either they're an acquired taste or simply not in line with my tastes.

The name Árien written in Alcarin Tengwar.
I have reassigned the function of the first tengwa in this Font as the variant anda telco tengwa used especially initially.

Comments are welcome! I'm still learning.

In Gondor Quenya was considered a difficult language, distant, like the land of Valinor, and learned only by a few. Sindarin, on the other hand, was called in Gondor the ‘noble tongue’ and was spoken by many: “Sindarin was an acquired polite language {among Humans} and used by those of more pure Númenórean descent, esp. in Minas Tirith, if they wished to be polite,” wrote Tolkien in Letter n° 347.

Tolkien made a mistake. He wrongly decided on the syllabification of the Quenya word "máryat", and later corrected it.

Pues gracias a @eleder ya tengo nombre élfico... Sintar Ucarindo (y su escritura élfica en la imagen)

Hmm, Google ist nicht sonderlich hilfreich dabei, aber ich hab mich schon gefragt, ob #Sindarin nicht ein sprachübergreifendes Wortspiel sein sollte. Ich meine, es liegt ja wirklich "Sinn darin".

#Quenya ist etwas weiter weg, wobei #Tolkien vielleicht das Altenglische cwen (=Königin) mitbedacht hat, so dass es etwa "the Queen's Elvish" sein könnte. Wahrscheinlich etsas an den Haaren herbeigezogen, aber für eine v.a. rituelle Sprache nicht komplett unsinnig.

@Olooriel no idea but teamwork makes the dream work right? ☺️ Fellow (VERY) old-time #Quenya learner here 🖖 I studied it when I was like 14, I'd love to take it back in

I just discovered the website "Tecendil", which can transcribe #tengwar - not that I can't do it myself, but dang is it convenient. But now I wonder if there is still an active online community for Tolkien's languages - back in the day there was a mailing list iirc. Does something like that still exist, or is it now just everyone by themselves with the aid of online tools? :( #conlang #quenya #tolkien

(btw. the text is in Quenya, but I will take no responsibility for my grammatic mistakes :-P)

(have studied Latin, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Sanskrit, German, Swedish, Scottish Gaelic, and some #conlangs including #Lojban and #Quenya)

Feel free to info dump at me about your special interests or ask me about any of the above. Also open to talking about #MentalHealth including #anxiety and #depression and about #neurodiversity, in particular #ADHD

Do I know anyone who can translate #Quenya? I've got "neo-monstrosity bane" would be made up of "vin(i)", "ulundo", and "nehtar" but I don't know how possessives, declensions, or compound words work. I think I'm just supposed to smoosh them together into one word based on some other swords.

Once I have that word, do I just copy-paste it into a word processor with the Tengwar Quenya font installed?

I kept misreading this as Cen Ered and trying to puzzle out what it might mean in Quenya or Noldorin. “Mountain of Sight”, maybe? #conlangs #Quenya #Elvish
