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...

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...

I have another corrigendum to _The Etymologies_, one that I suspected long before I had access to photocopies of the manuscript, but which I failed to mention...
Is the NENG- entry (VT46:3 s.v. NENG-WI-) composed of the root only or has it all the Q. and N. words as well? [It is essentially the same, lacking only the...
... I think we're seeing here two different kinds of formation: 1. Causative (or in this case factitive), that is _*ninqui_ + tâ_ 'make white, whiten' (for...
... (<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lambengolmor/message/737>), ... It seems possible. Presumably Edouard is referring to the N- prefix cited in the A&C...
If _ninqitá-_ 'whiten' has a causative suffix, which seems to be the case, why do we have _tulta-_ 'send for, fetch, summon' (< *_tultâ-_ 'make come' < TUL-...

In the entry NDAN of the Etymologies (V:375) Tolkien gives Noldorin names for the Green-elves or Danas : _Dân_ pl. _Dein_, _Daðrin_. The latter looks very...

On page 64 of PE 14, l. 11, we read that "_<dh>_ > _b_, _m_" as root- modification (where <dh> represents an edh in the text). Should that not be "_<bh>_ >...
