Looking for an elvish translator, dictionary or someone that knows it....
I need the Elvish word for "one" for a story I'm writing.
If I could get it by tomorrow mornign, it would be great! the sooner the better

There are many Elvish languages. As Hapira said, 'one' in Quenya is minë. In Sindarin (and I only know this through a website) 'one' is min.

You may not need this anymore, but I thought it was interesting. It is a pretty complete English/Quenya dictionary.

You could also say "one" as in "alone", which is er . Maybe you could use the name Erminë: "One and Alone"?

Which might be translated 'solitary', I guess.

I Agree
'Er' could mean one, as Eru mesans The One
