Grr...

Anyone know what 'is' or 'because' would be in sindarin?

Before you mention it, I've gone through everything ardalambion has.

add to that 'are' and 'you'

and if anybody knows how to do in -s ending in Sindarin (i.e... 'lives' from 'live' in english)that would be great.

About Eowyn,
Does anyone know what her alias Dernhelm means?

She was kown as dernhelm because of her exclaimation when she realized that the rider's headgear was heavy and obscured her sight.

'Dern Helm"

Culled from Entmoot From Kirinski 57 and Wayfarer.

Wayfarer and I are linguistic dunderheads, and me more than him. Neither of us are linguists, if we don't know, a lot of other people probably do!

Sadly true, my friends. While I would like to become fluent in sindarin (which is quite impossible as things stand), and Inolondil is fond of quenya, neither of us have made any study whatsoever of actual language.

I believe a number of those shorter words are attached to the words they describe, but i could be wrong.

Yeah... I'd assume that's the case. And I can't find what the affixes should be.
