Re: Why is there no word for Trust?

I'm no language expert, not even close to being able to speak on the matter, yet when I think about the "missing" words one finds I tend to replace them with something that expresses the "feeling" of the word....

In many of the worlds languages the words do that, they express/describe concepts/feelings/images rather than a single meaning...

So in my view for "Trust" to be expressed in elven one would combine words such as good and sprit maybe... but something with Quel and the image of the type of trust you are trying to convey to the listener.

My thoughts at least.
