Does anyone know how to properly pronounce the "rd" in Quenya (Tolkien even made a tengwa that represented the "rd" sound in Quenya)? What I mean is in saying "Nerdanel" or "Arda" how does one pronounce each letter?

Hmmm, it's hard to describe to someone who have english as their first language...
The r is not pronounced like in English "radio", but as in... Try to listen to a finn speak, and you'll hear how it's supposed to be pronounced. Edit: Or listen to Christopher Lee in the first LotR-movie.

Vinya cuilë lian sina!
I translated the first three verses of the Song of Amroth: (The lay of Nimrodel) Lirilla Nimrodelo An Elven-maid there was of old, A shining star by day: Her mantle white was hemmed with gold, Her shoes of silver-grey. Elvendë né enwina ressë Elen calima mi aurë Finderya ninquë untúmpë lauressë Táluvaileryar sindë A star was bound upon her brows, A light was on her hair As sun upon the golden boughs In Lorien the fair. Elen nuntë caseryanna Cala findessërya Vë Anar laurëa aldannar Lóriendessë vanima Her hair was long, her limbs were white, And fair she was and free; And in the wind she went as light As leaf of linden-tree. Findesserya anda, hröa ninquë Ar nés vanima ar léra Ar i súrissë, úlunga oantië Vë lassë aldava Hopefully more to come.

A couple of new verses:
Beside the falls of Nimrodel by water clear and cool her voice fell like silver falling into the shining pool Ara i Nimrodelo celussë Ara nén vÃ*rin ar ringa Ómarya vë lantala telpë lantanë silila ailinna Where now she wanders none can tell in sunlight or in shade for lost of old was Nimrodel and in the mountains strayed Nóme yassen sÃ* ranyas úquen ista, áressë var laimessë An vanwa yáressë Nimrodel né Ar ranyanes orontissë The Elven-ships in havens grey Beneath the mountain-lee Awaited her for many a day Beside the roaring sea I eldaciryar londessë sindë Ara i oronti-ramba Erner limbë rÃ* nómessë Ara i rávëa ëar A wind by night in Northern lands Arose, and loud it cried, And drove the ships from elven-strands Across the streaming tide Sùrë lómessë nórë formenyassë Ortanë ar ramanes ráma Ar tulyanë i ciryar úlëa celumenna Et eldafalasello

'A star shines on the hour of our meeting' is one. This gives you an idea of how greetings are said in Quenya. |

I have only really studied Quenya, and I like it alot. I've been working for a while on the course by Helge Fauskanger(at Ardalambion.com), and it's great! So far I've completed 11 lessons...
