Elven/Elvish Names, Anyone Need One? (Closed, Use new thread)

[Grim]

Peredhil - Half-Elf
oddly, no word for ghost - Ghost Spider(s) (aka Phase Spider)
ARG, no word for wish either - Wishing Stone (a huge black opal holding a wish spell)
Megilindir - Bladesinger - Queen of Elves
NO WORD FOR corrupt either (DAMMIT) - "Corrupted by the Spider" (an elf wizard who turned to Lolth)
no word for prodigy or prodigal - "Prodigal Daughter" (my half-elf PC, who is about to rediscover her elven roots, since she never knew her elf father)

For both Klaus and Angcuru:

I found my own elven translation pdf ( http://www.grey-company.org/Language/Files/phrase.pdf ) a while ago, and although I am dubious to its accuracy, after cross refferencing " I wish to speak", or "Amin merna quen", and "If you wish, "Manka lle merna", it seems to me that the word for "wish" is merna.

Lets see... the closest I could get to "ghost" was "Blade Spirit, which translates as Hyandae en'luhta. As to which means blade and which means spirit, i dont know. Angcuru might...

And thats all I could find. Hope I could be of help...

oh and also by my pdf, Peredhil is halfling, not half elf. Half elf is Elandili. But... sources conflict. I'd go with angcuru, though. I'm pretty sure my pdf was compiled by a bunch of 12 year olds playing BG2 or NWN (You can kinda tell b/c they list translations for then-popular clans (The Undead Overlords!), and translations for Sword Coast towns/cities)

Angcuru... I'll re-submit the elven culture from before. Again... a matriarchal society, roughly based on Amazons of greek legend... and the real-life Sarmatians of northern Persia/Southern Russia.

Re: Im serious(its his title)

Neat, I was loading the thread to bump it and here we have another request.

bowman to the court of the elven lords - Cuara'i Edehlheruirond

keen eye - Eleelaike

Those are the ones I could get you given the descriptions you gave me.

 

[Angcuru]

What with the resurgence of the Middle-earth MMORPG joke thread, I think a bump is appropriate.

OLE!

Hey Ancguru: cool thread. But I gotta ask, where did you get the dictionary from? Does it have grammar and pronunciation in it? All I have is the appendices on Sindarin and Quenya from LotR.

As a student of linguistics, I would be very interested in having a look at the dictionary. I know Tolkien took his languages very seriously and I'm curious to know what resemblance Sindarin and Quenya bear to real-life languages.

Thanks in advance mate!
