Numbers

“There were two different number systems in use in Middle Earth; the duodecimal system (base 12) and the decimal system that we use today. Interestingly Tolkien tells us that although "in Common Eldarin the multiples of three, especially six and twelve, were considered especially important" the decimal system developed first - "and eventually beside the decimal numeration a complete duodecimal system was devised for calculations".

Although he goes on to say that "the special words for 12 (dozen), 18 and 144 (gross) were in general use" we don't have any record of what that special number for 18 might have been in any language. Tolkien further noted that "for general purposes the numeral names were decimal in origin". This is why the numbers for 20, 30 and so on mean 'two tens', 'three tens'.”

The numbers 13-19 are reconstructed from Quenya.

1 - min

2 - tâd

3 - neledh

4 - canad

5 - leben

6 - eneg

7 - odo/odog

8 - tolodh/toloth

9 - neder

10 - cae/caen/pae-

11 - Minib

12 - Ýneg

13 - Neleb

14 - Canab

15 - Leben

16 - Eneph

17 - Odoph

18 - Toloph

19 - Nederph

These then, are the deduced numbers 20 - 90 using Tolkien's later material. I suggest that these are for Sindarin as spoken by the Elves, and the original forms as written in the King's Letter are Gondorian Sindarin

20 - Taphaen

30 - Nelphaen

40 - Cambaen

50 - Lephaen

60 - Enephaen

70 - Odophaen

80 - Tolophaen

90 - Nederphaen

100 - Haran

Numbers like 33, 67, 82 etc. can be formed like this Nelphaen a neledh = Thirty and three (33) or Neledh a nelphaen = Three and thirty

Enephaen a odog = Sixty and seven (67) or Odog a enephaen = Seven and sixty

Tolophaen a dâd = Eighty and two (82) or Tâd a dolophaen = Two and eighty

For any number after 12 you just need to put -ui on the end to form the ordinal, e.g. nederphaenui = 90th

1st - Minui

2nd - Tadui

3rd - Nelui

4th - Canthui

5th- Lefnui

6th - Enchui

7th - Othui

8th - Tollui

9th - Nedrui

10th - Paenui

11th - Minibui

12th - Ýnegui

boredom came for me so I said fuck it and hand wrote the loumand fight in JRR Tolkien's Elvish Tangwar alphabet. enjoy.

I was a very lonely child and can speak quenya fluently and taught myself this alphabet lmao. using it as God intended.

[wolfwhisperertf]

Ok, ok, ok! So, what if Lucanis doesn't realize that Ashwyn knows Antivan! Ash is a Grey Warden, one that comes straight from Weisshaupt and has a Ferelden accent but Ash learned their father's (read; Zevran’s) native language. So once Lucanis gets to a point where he realizes that he really likes Ash he starts complimenting/flirting with them in Antivan (it's easier in his native tongue). Ash realizes what's going on pretty fast but doesn't correct him. Instead they compliment/flirt with him in Elvish. Until one day Lucanis says something so out of pocket Ash forgets how to breath, face bright red and then the secret is out. Ashwyn has to spend the next several days translating all their elvish flirts to make it up to a mortified Lucanis.

yeeting my recently written namárië scripts here

script on the left is the original version in lotr whereas the one on the right is one rewritten by me

below is translation of my version of namárië

Ai, fanyarë ata lanta mornienna

Ai, the sky slips to darkness again

Anar nútala Númenna lintavë

as the sun sets swiftly West

yassë calanen or Valmar tírë!

where with light over Valmar looks!

Á nyarë nin, nó oantielyë

Tell me before you go -

Tilion hya, ortala sí

or Tilion as you ascend -

manen caitëa Valmar han ceninya

how Valmar lies beyond my sight!

carpa umelyë, hehtainan er

but you do not tell me and I am left alone :

Sí manna maquetinyë quentar et márello?

Now to whom shall I ask the tidings of home?

An ciryar avánier hópallo sira

For ships have gone extinct from havens hither

lá ecë quenen atalelya Númenna

and none may pass again to the West.

Caitala tára, lá cimë nin lolossë

High it lies, Oiolossë hears me not

naltar elenion nírenyassë

and the stars alone reflect my tears [reflection of tears in my eyes]

altainë yéninen, oiolemyala.

deepened by long years and undepleted.

Mornië-nóressë, tárala queten

In the shadow lands I stand and cry

Sí vanwa ná, oialë vanwa, Valimar!

now lost, forever lost is Valimar!

Namárië, nai hiruvalyë Valimar!

Farewell! May you find Valimar!

Nai elyë hiruva, namárië!

Maybe you shall find it, farewell!

[aethuviel]

I wrote these lines down a few years ago and finally got around to it.

Obviously people must think you are cool and Gelebor if you speak like this.

I just need you all to know that the Georgian alphabet (Mkhedruli) is one of the most stunning writing systems I have ever seen.

Even Elvish could never.

I beg you to zoom in and take a look.

I did some art! This was a gift for a secret santa art exchange and I'm really happy with how it came out!! The way the background came out makes me think of the paper covers on a hardback book when you take the sleeve off. Also hatching is my new favorite rendering style
