But we presume that elves are smart enough and have a decent enough command of language not to use silly terms that don't really apply.

*pops up in thread again*
It's me again with my seemingly endless habbit of asking questions about Elvish. I was wondering, what's the Elvish word for 'frog'? Yes, typically a question from me You can give it in whatever Elvish dialect you know.

'Another example is the name Nan Tathren, "Vale of Willows" or literally "Vale Willowy"; we might have expected *Nan Dathren instead. We probably have to assume that the discrepancies are simply due to the fact that there were many variants or dialects of Sindarin; the rules for where soft mutation occurs differed somewhat from dialect to dialect. (I would advise people writing in Sindarin to let adjectives lenit in this position, though, since this seems to be the main rule.)' ~that Helge guy ¤ |
