Quenya

Postby Marius the Black on Tue Jun 29, 2004 2:43 pm

Consider yourself savvy with fancy Tolkien elf-speak? Well, I'd appreciate a little help constructing a short bit of prose.

Can't exactly say why here on the Forums, but it's for a good (and personal! :P) cause, has nothing to do with WoD, and I'd be very appreciative if anyone DOES know how to construct phrases (word-lists are abundant) of elven, to PM me or drop a message here on this thread.

Thanks,

-M

Awww man, shame you didnt need this about a year ago, I knew a guy who was into that stuff bigtime, could speak and write the elven language, as well as was big into speaking and writing Dragon & Klingon (ahh the wierdo's we know lol) (note, im as wierd as they come so I have no room to talk lmao)

I used to be pretty good with it but it all depends how complex you get and it HAS been years since I dabbled extensively in it. Email me!

Computer translators like those ones don't handle stuff like grammar though, only single words.

There are abundant resources out there but it takes a lot of study/work if you want to do it right. Simple translators are nice for quick, off the cuff remarks but imagine facing Elrond and speaking with short bursts of trite reponses. He'd just feed you to the orcs.

.. kind of the same way anyone who considers themselves well-spoken harshly judges someone of a lesser vernacular?

Yo, Elrond 'n me cud tangle. He lay some heavy stuff onna me an' I'd whap him upside da head wif Glammerding or wotever dat sharp, pointy thing is a-called. An' if he dont like it ahd just shove a hobbit up whar the sun dont shine an' see wot he t'inks o' dat.
