... There is another factor to consider about the possible convergence of these two particular roots. While "along side" and "against, opposed to, opposite" ...
Aiya Lambengolmor, Well, here's one to discuss the latest publications. I've already posted ths on TolkLang, but I guess there won't be trouble if I try to...
Hello, ... As a matter of fact, we are dealing with at least _three_ _Namárië_'s, as there's also the draft version in _The Treason of Isengard_. Pavel -- ...
... Even in the case of "Namárie" we're dealing with two different Quenyas: the first edition version in which _vánier_ was presumably grammatically correct,...
... I've asked Bill Welden (who's been thinking and writing about just this topic lately) to reply to this, and he has agreed to do so, when he gets a little...
Aiya! In a message on Elfling Pavel has argued that there could be no general "Namaarie-style Quenya", for that particular phase of Quenya begins and ends with...

... Oh, I agree, wholeheartedly. I never meant to imply that there could be _no_ intended relationship between S. _Annûn_ and Welsh _Annw(f)n_. But if there...
... Which is significant for _udûn_, but Tolkien's acceptance of Morris-Jones' eytomogy here doesn't perclude Tolkien's use of the other interpretations of...
This 40-page issue features the second part (of two) of a presentation and analysis of five hitherto unpublished Quenya texts by J.R.R. Tolkien (see _VT_ 43...
Hello again, Petri pointed out that if _nai elen siluva lyenna_ was a case of elision of _elyenna_ to _lyenna_, then _*nai elen siluv' elyenna_ was likely too....
Hello, ... All right, you got me here. Objection withdrawn, at least partly. Note though - the elided vowel happens to be the first one. [...] ... I do not...
I have allowed Sébastien's post to pass, though I don't want to make a habit of having "me too" posts with little or no linguistic content. The best way to...
Hello, ... [...] ... This is possible, however, I would still hold that elision in _siluv(a) (e)lye_ would not be possible. It is not unlikely that elision can...
Aiya ! ... I think it is a very good news to have a list focusing on _scholarship_ in the Tolkienian linguistic field ! I hope the list will indeed prove...
[Moderator's note: I'm letting this post pass, but I would like to encourage people not to quote so much from other people's posts, as Terry does here with an...
This is a plea to all posters to be vigilant about line breaks. If you can, please set your mailer to word-wrap your lines at about 80 characters. Also, please...
Hello, ... Indeed. A one-on-one Welsh -> English transposition would be very very unreliable. ... I'd also vote for these, esp. 'inworld', as it would agree...
... Indeed! Which if anything makes it all the more significant that Tolkien nonetheless accepted Jones's etymology in this case, at least to the extent of...
It appears that I will have to relax the policy of citing message numbers when referring to posts. I'd still like members to do this where possible, but since...
Hello, ... I wonder what Carl has to say on the subject :-) [...] ... I disagree. Elision in Quenya only seems to appear in the cases of two identical vowels...
Greetings! First I'd like to say, hello. I'm glad to be on this list (an excellent idea Carl)! The Welsh word _annwfn_ does have a controversial etymology as...
In message 14958 of the Elfling list Helge K. Fauskanger tells us of a a signature by Tolkien below which reads the words _nai elen siluva lyenna_. To this...
[I'm replying to this message on the list, since others will likely have the same questions. Carl] ... Provide page citations to whatever edition you have; if...
... True enough. But 1) later associations often are quite altered from the primitive/formative semantics indicated by etymology; and 2) Tolkien did not reject...
Hello, Carl wrote the following excellent essay: (Is it to appear in _Words and Devices_, as I hope?) ... As a matter of fact, I believe the Western asociation...
To get the ball rolling, I thought I might share some notes towards an article that I've been kicking around for years now, and solicit some feedback. A...
Bibliographic citations should conform to the style used in _Vinyar Tengwar_. Here are the bibliographic citation abbreviations used. Citations should be to...
One more moderation note (I will try, by the way, to preface all such moderation posts as this with "Moderation:"): Two of my biggest pet peeves about mailing...
In the spirit of experimentation currently being lauded on Elfling, and in light of the comparatively low scholarly and linguistic content of Elfling (as I see...
