Re: A song that needs an elven translation

That's an idea, yes. Thanks for the advice, I've finished it last friday. It sounds quite nice, though the bard has to rewrite two lines to get the same tunes after the refrains.

> Also, if you did the main translation from the Tel'Mithrim dictionary, be aware that it is a combination of Quenya and Sindarin (I believe)... so when you use other source, you'll have to look specifically for Quenya or Sindarin sources. Quenya is more... lyrical? Sindarin is more phonetic... Best way I can describe it.

> Another "also" - If you can't find a specific word, try to find the closest synonym. For example, you were looking for "just". As in "It's just a log.", if I read right. Instead of "just", substitute "only". "It's only a log."

> If you've ever studied Latin or any other language, you know that some words stand for more than one thing in other languages. The same stands true for Elven.
