The readers of Lambengolmor may be interested in a listing of all attested Goldogrin pronouns that I've posted on my website "The Cottage of Lost Play"...
In _Parma Eldalamberon_ 14, p. 79 Tolkien writes that _kiryassea_ is an adjectival form and translates it as "that is on board ship". I can hardly understand...
... 1) The construction 'what' vs 'that' seems to be resolvable if we take the 2nd ('that') to be a shortened relative clause. So both mean the same. 2) I...
Relative sentences specify the noun that they refer to, and so do adjectives. The English word _what_, however, isn't a proper relative pronoun in English,...
... j. wust is right in pointing out that "what is on board ship" and "that is on board ship" aren't identical. When I said "they are the same", I meant to say...
... This semantical difference corresponds exactly to the distributional difference that (b) is always accompanied by the noun or pronoun it specifies while...
... I agree. Of course _what_ is used that way and by virtue of its function ('indefinitum') can refer to anything/everything. Still, my point was that I think...
... I prefer morphology to semantics or syntax for the decision whether it's noun or adjective. Since there are cases like _Gutes mit Bösem vergelten_ 'to...
I wondered whether the gloss "Eru : the One, He that is Alone" given by Christopher Tolkien into the index of the _Silmarillion (1977)_ came from his own...
Carl commented - ... Compare the (?late) Quenya example in XI:367 "... the adj. _onóna_ 'twin-born', also used as a noun 'one of a pair of twins'." pkm...
... And _Apanónar_ "Afterborn," _Firyar_ "Mortals", _Fírimar_ "those apt to die" WJ:387. Much earlier, _Engwar_ "the Sickly" LR:245. ...

... It doesn't have to imply 'loneliness', I think. In fact, given the account of the 'Music of the Ainur' I doubt that interpretation. 'Alone' may never have...
... Similarly _Vanya_ is "...from an adjectival derivative _*wanja*_ from the stem _*WAN_...", and _Linda_ is "clearly a derivative of the primitive stem...
Another set of nominalized adjectives is, I think, the High-elven names for the days of the week, from _Elenya_ to _Valanya_. If they are thus in origin...
On page 71, under NOUNS, the sentence beginning "Those ending in _-i_, _-u_" reads " ... adj. _kulúva_ > _kuluuva_" (with short/long diacritic on the first...
I'd like to record here the existence of two items of linguistic interest in recent Bonhams auctions of Tolkien-holograph items. 1) Sale No. 10889, Lot 601: ...
... Is a Q _Perian(d)_ attested? Otherwise, might not the Q cognate of S _perian_ seen here be *_periande_ (cf. Q _quende_, cognate of S _pen_, HM XI pp....
In 'The Fellowship of the Ring', LR book II, chapter 2 'The Council of Elrond' we learn the Sindarin name of Tom Bombadil from Elrond's mouth: "Iarwain ...
I have published the beginnings of a Tolkienian Linguistics FAQ, at: http://www.elvish.org/FAQ.html The purpose of this FAQ is to provide sorely needed...
Has anyone tried to translate the version of Gandalf's spell to open the gates of Moria that appears in _The Return of the Shadow_ p. 451 (paperback ed.): ...
... Here is a summary of that discussion: In VT 20 (p. 12) Tom Loback suggested that perhaps "_-ath-_ is a lenition of _-as-_," and that "_diragas_ and...
... I know of no instance of 'nin' being suffixed to either a preposition or a noun. Anybody ? [There is _enni_ *'to me' in S. _guren będ enni_ 'my heart...
I am very pleased to announce the publication of a new article, "The Goldogrin Past Tense" by Patrick H. Wynne, in _Tengwestië_, the online journal of the...
... Thanks for the note. I'm aware of _enni_ and commented on it both on Tolklang (http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/misc/local/TolkLang/Vol38/38.26) and Elfling ...
... object proper' and that the presence/absence of i-umlaut (affection) is most likely due to historical reasons (that is, _enni_ represents an older...
... I'm not sure. Redundancy can, I think, only be claimed if you assume the root to be 'sufficient'. If not, only determining the status of _-n_ would allow...
... While I agree with the last statement, I do not think it follows that _nin_ is accusative in _tiro nin_. Is there not a benefactive notion in 'watch over'?...
Patrick H. Wynne has written a new editorial for _Tengwestië_, entitled "Are Goldogrin and Qenya 'primitive'?". This brief essay assesses the significance of...
... No, I too think it is not 100% safe to take _nin_ here as an accusative. However, given that we can identify _enni_ as dative and _anim_ as 'for me'...
In the entry MIZD- of the "Addenda and Corrigenda to _The Etymologies_" (VT45:35) there is a reference to "the glosses of N _mídh_ 'dew' and Dor. _męd_...
