Re: New words

.....the FAQ answers all. but, once again, since it seems you've not read it, here's a cut regarding all elvish related in the said doccument...which i still would read if i were you.
Elvish Language and Writing

Q. What's this about an Elven Language?
A. When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the setting for the Lord of the Rings he crafted an entire world to go with it. Included in that world were the grammatical structure and a rudimentary dictionary for a number of Elven Tongues. Since we roleplay Elves online, we took that dictionary, simplified the grammatical structure and expanded the dictionary heavily. It is not cannon Elven as Tolkien wrote it, simply our own adaptation. Which we like better. Thank you very much.

For more details and a downloadable dictionary, go to our language resource page here.

Q. Do you have any symbols, how did you get the Elven characters (font) on your site, and is it downloadable?
A. Look at the links on our Language section.

Q. Could someone tutor me in the Elven Language?
A. None of our members are fluent enough in the language to be of assistance in this case. We use what we know of the language more for effect and to help set ourselves slightly apart from other roleplayers in UO. However, for those who wish to learn Quenya (one of Tolkien's Elvish languages), there is a tutorial link available in the Language section.

There's a very good chance that this will be the last response you get from me until i find it evident that you've taken heed of my advice. And until you can prove that to me, a non-member, who knows if the actual members will respond. *shrugs* I suppose time will tell that one.

Oh, and since the FAQ actually didn't cover that part, those words don't exist because no one has created them from the existing words or made one that sounds "fluid enough" to be considered elven. Like the FAQ states that the elvish is used primarily for effect. Though, there are some great poems written, or i guess translated into, elvish somewhere on the site.
