I recently noticed that french, in a curious way, has mnay similarities to elven as in JRR Tolkien's Lord of The Rings recreation as a movie. So in lieu of this similarity I tried using semi-french mixed with some other ver soft-tongued languages to create the following eleven words and grammar rules.Ok grammar first:
If you have a verb in front of a noun and the last syllable of the verb is the same as the first syllable of the noun then the two are conjugated together attached by an apostrophie and the letters forming the same sound on the verb are dropped. Thus "Lle lant tala" (roughly translates to "Your falling city" would change to "Lle lan'tala"
It doesn't make a big change but it helps keep repetition out of the language and make it flow a little more smoothly as eleven should.
I have made a simple method for making new elven words which is as follows: Take the base word and find something it relates to ( I started with tanner and decided a hunter must get the leather he is to tan) then find something that relates to this other thing (I decided a hunter might hunt elk for example) now find the french equivalent of that word (Elk--elans) now modify the word to match its relative (Hunter of elk, so "elker" basically thus elans to elanser) now connect this word to the original by using another language on the original word (In my case celtic for skinning or "vilder") and connect the two base words (So elansvild)
Now smooth the word out (Elansvild doesn't sound very elven but it is original and very foreign to whoever hears it) by removing all the parts that require your mouth to make odd shapes to say it, e.g. say it without moving your lips (Without moving my lips "Elansvild" becomes "Ilansild" which now sounds very elven)
Finally condense it ("Ilansild" is a little long and complicated to say so instead I'll cut a few syllables out to make it "Anil")
Tanner--Anil
Pig--Sare
Moon--Unaim
This method is best for creating words to which the elven dictionary at https://grey-company.evernorth.net/Circle/language/com2elv.htm
has no relative of. If possible try to use other elven words to give it a root word system but if no word even relates to a word you would like to use, my method can create words completely unique and elven sounding for you to use.
Tell me what you think.
