This 36-page issue features the conclusion of the two-part "Addenda and Corrigenda to the _Etymologies_ by Carl F. Hostetter and Patrick H. Wynne, detailing...
In Etym. we can find two Noldorin etymologically related words glossed 'light': _calad_ (s.v. KAL-) and _galad_ (s.v. GAL-, in A&C:13). _Calad_ does not occur...
... Quite possibly. I used 'Pre-Sindarin' as the most cautious denomination, as I feel that this is what we can confidently say about the form. As a dictionary...
... Actually, I don't see any need to assume that the relative marker S. _i_ was specifically marked as a direct object. In 'Ae Adar Nín' "...sui mín i...
... Both 'lenition' and 'soft mutation' (which refer to the same phonetic process) seem (to me) problematic here. Descriptively _h_ > _ch_ isn't 'softening'...
... That means that the mutation _c_ > _ch_ (at least in Etym.) would be more like _b_ > _mb_ when the nasal cluster existed in the primitive form: a...
... If _c_ (i.e. _k_) is old, no. Spirantisation in both Noldorin and Sindarin (as far as I can see) takes place when it's from older < _sk_ or _kk_. For the...
... Yes, I meant _h_ > _ch_ all the time. _c_ was a typo. Sorry for the confusion. But by the way... ... In Etym. we also have instances of _l_ + _c_ > _lch_...
I'd like to expand on Pat's comments regarding the distinction in our "Addenda and Corrigenda to the _Etymologies_" between an erratum, proper, and the...
... Oh yes, there is _lT_ > _lTh_ and _rT_ > _rTh_ (cf. _narcha-_ s.v. NÁrak-). ... Yes, I missed that. The entries under TAN- are a strong point. Yet, ...
Reading the recent discussion about lenition / soft mutation originated by the presence of _calad_ or _galad_ in compounds, I get the impression that the...
I'm very happy (and not a little relieved!) to report that not only did I mail off the previously-announced _Vinyar Tengwar_ 46 this morning, but that I also...
A discussion has come up between myself and a friend regarding the correct meaning of the word _peredhil_. Most of what I find seems to say it means...
Hello, As far as I know there was never a clear translation of the name of _Thranduil_ (in fact none at all?), so I wonder what the actual meaning might be. My...
... Not quite. To split some more hairs: _Pereldar_ is used, at least in pre- Lord of the Rings writings, referring to the _Danas_, that are Elves that turned...
... As being the other half in this discussion, I always assumed that with _Peredhil_ Tolkien meant 'Half-elven' as a union between man and elf. My question...
... I think that we can even call Lúthien as _Peredhel_. She was _half- Elven_, and though the word was originally used to express the mergence of an Elf and...
The "Addenda & Corrigenda to the EEtymologies_" (VT45 &46) reveal an (at least for me) unexpected pattern of Noldorin soft mutation, though it wasapparently...
In http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lambengolmor/message/723 ... I have realized that calling _s_ > _h_ a "dental to velar" shift is unnacurate. Phonetically, [s]...
Mellyn, Just a short note to let you know that the known errata lists for Vinyar Tengwar and Parma Eldalamberon now are more or less complete. I have received...
I am not sure of the correct reading of the corrigendum to the word _Torthingol_, in VT46:18, s.v. THIN-. I guess that it is _Tor-thingol_, but as "Tor-" is at...
After reviewing the second part of "Addenda and and Corrigenda to _The Etymologies_" (VT46), and comparing the information there provided with the version of...
Helge Fauskanger has suggested (<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/elfling/message/30262>) that the somewhat problematic N pa.t. †_eglant_ (VT45:27 s.v. LED-)...
... I disagree with Thomas's and Sébastien's characterization of _enge_ as an "irregular" past tense. We know from the portion of Appendix D to "Quendi and...
... re statements by me and by Sébastien Bertho in Elfling messages #30283 and #30284, respectively, that _enge_, ... I stand corrected in my opinion, the...
... Of course, from these statements it appears that the pa.t. _enge_ of _ea_ is regular, as is pa.t. _tenge_ for _tea_, _for this class of verb_. But two...
First, if there is anyone who is interested in getting _Parma Eldalamberon_ back issues 6, 7 and 8, but does not have easy access to US funds to pay for these,...
I have made some revisions to my _Tengwestie_ article, "The Past-Tense Verb in the Noldorin of the _Etymologies_", incorporating Helge Fauskanger's recent...
