Quenya grammar appears to be tricky for neophytes. (Also, the suffix -lle would be pronounced with a long L as in Italian; the Spanish pronunciation is actually more like... lye!)

Måns is right on. I wonder, however, if rather "lye melin" (switching the two words around) wouldn't work a little bit better?
