I have made some revisions to my _Tengwestie_ article, "The Past-Tense

Verb in the Noldorin of the _Etymologies_", incorporating Helge

Fauskanger's recent suggestion concerning †_eglant_/_eglent_ (see

Lamebngolmor message 728

"I wish life was not so short," he thought.  "Languages take such

      a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about."

I have made a number of revisions to my article my article on "The

Past-Tense Verb in the Noldorin of the Etymologies" in _Tengwestië_

(<http://www.elvish.org/Tengwestie/articles/Hostetter/noldpat.phtml>).

Chiefly, I have revised the wording to explicitly distinguish basic and

derived _verbs_ from basic and derived _stems_ (the later being the

more precise basis of the various past-tense verb formations of the

categorization).



My thanks to Pavel Iosad for his recent post touching on this

classification, which reminded me of the necessity to make this

distinction explicit and rigorously observed.
