Meldor lambengolmor, The two latest errata for Parma Eldalamberon have been added to the published list on elvish.org . Keep those magnifying glasses busy! ...
Greetings, In Parma Eldalamberon #15, page 121, we read for the <sh> rune in the right column: "not used in _Hobbit_, _Sh_ in Farrer" but in the Farrer...
(Preliminary note : I use the sign # to mark elements attested only inflected or compounded.) _Sharbhund_ appears in the _Narn i [Ch]în Húrin_ (UT:98) as the...
... Strengthening this particular note of Bertrand's, I'd like to comment that the deduced word *_mazarb_ probably functions according to Bertrand's conception...
... I post this message here since its content seems to be relevant to the goals of the list. Sébastien Bertho {(Dr.) Arden Smith replies: "Quite right. The...
My post is primarily concerned with ambiguities caused by hyphens occuring in some Elvish words in the A&C (VT45 & VT46), and also in the published text of the...
... It is also written as a mirrored s-rune in my analysis of the Farrer postcard, which I had right in front of me when I assembled the table that appears in...
I'd like to mention what seems to be a typo in PE15, in the "Index of Names for the Lay of the Children of Húrin". On p. 61, under note 9, it is said "When...
In this post I would like to discuss the fact that in Sindarin, some stems seem to be extended by an additional _i_ when a suffix is added. We could call it...
In the Etymologies, root TIW (V:394), we have the curious ON form _tuio-_ "swell, grow fat". I wondered if this was not an error for _*tuia-_ according to the...
In Lambengolmor message #753: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lambengolmor/message/753 Sébastien Bertho comments on the use of characters for _æ_ (ae) and _œ_...
Today I received my copy of David Salo's new book, _A Gateway to Sindarin_ (Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 2004). While I intend to offer a...
... If we look at lenition (or initial consonant mutation) as a historical process (which, of course, it is), the following can, very briefly, be said: 1) It's...
As a follow-up to the discussion of the motivation of Initial Consonant Mutation, both generally and in the specific cases of _vi Menel_ and _bo Ceven_, note...
... I think I might have found one more proof confirming your theory. We have _giliath_ vs. _Remmirath_ in LR 1:3, translated as 'Netted Stars' but literally...
Earlier this week I received my copy of David Salo's long- awaited tome "A Gateway to Sindarin: A Grammar of an Elvish Language from J.R.R. Tolkien's _Lord of...
Reading "The Silmarillion" you must have seen the curious form of Elu Thingol's (or Elu-thingol's) name: Elwë _Singollo_. Have you ever tried to guess from...
... [snip] It could also simply be a contraction of _Sindicollo_; indeed, this explanation has been advanced on Elfling. But seeing it as a half-Quenyaization...

... I don't think anyone is saying that _Sindicollo_>_Singollo_ was a *regular* development. It does not seem like Quenya compounds normally underwent such...

Patrick Wynne and I are pleased to announce the publication of a new article in _Tengwestië_, the online journal of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship...
... It was a pleasure to read this article. At one point it states: "_+laith_, does not occur in any other name [than _Limlaith_], and its meaning is unknown" ...
The word _loikolíkuma_ occurs, to my knowledge, only once in the published corpus of J.R.R. Tolkien's writings [MC:222, 223]. It figures in a poem named 'The...
