Re: Inoldonil, I have a question for you...
I spend a little time getting prepared to move, then I come back and I got my answer=)
Now I have just one more question... Is there a better "dictionary" for the Elven langauges (Sindarin, Quenya, any others) than the one in the back of Silmarillion? |

Re: Inoldonil, I have a question for you...
Oh yeah. All online stuff. Before I give you anything though, do not buy The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth by Ruth S. Noel. Bad guide.
I really like Helge Fauskanger's Ardalambion |

Re: Inoldonil, I have a question for you...
I never knew you could get books about the Tolkien language. Reminds me of the guy I saw on TV who made up a whole language for the movie Atlantis.

re: "flame"
According to David Salo (the best Sindarist I know of and was consulted for the movie) the Silmarillion entry "lhach" may be an error ... attested Sindarin example "Lachend" shows no initial lh- in any event, and would not be a case showing lenition.

Re: Inoldonil, I have a question for you...
You said that Ingoldo was the mother name of Finarfin. I was under the impression that it was the mother name of Finrod. Could be wrong, but I was sure I saw that somewhere.

"lhach" mispelled....
Hmmm....I was to come back with evidence against what you said about lhach being mispelled, but when I went to find another word that dropped a letter like that, I couldn't find one.:P
So now in my mind it is a POSSIBILITY is was mispelled ![]() |

Re: "Ingoldo"
Findarato, the fuller text can be found in "The Shibboleth of Fëanor" note 30, but here's a part re. "Ingoldo":
"... It was the mother-name of Arafinwë [Finarfin], and like the name Arakáno 'High chieftain' that Indis gave to Nolofinwë [Fingolfin] was held to be 'prophetic'. Eärwen gave this name [Ingoldo] to her eldest child Artafindë (Finrod), and by it he was usually called by his brothers and sister ..." Anyway, as I say the fuller explanation is in PoMe. Cheers~ |

Re: "Ingoldo"
Don't think either, Findarato, that because of this quote your name ought to be Artafindë, that was just the purer Quenya version, 'Findarato' is Telerin in form, Finrod's mother's people.
