Title: Sindarin First Letter Game

This game works simple, and doesn't require knowledge of the language whatsoever (maybe just a little). The idea is to put down a word beginning with the last letter of the previous word. Translate if word is rare/ probably unknown by others. It's a gd way to expand your vocab at the same time :)

K, I'll start with a reeaally well known word...

Osgiliath.

I made a mistake in my previous post! adan- man, Edain-men. Oops, I'm the one who's meant to know this stuff!

gwilith (air) The mutated form 'wilith is used in the movies, at the beginning of the Prolouge. I hope I got the spelling right!

Henneth Annûn
(It is a Sindarin name, isn't it?)

Gil_Galad22 - May 23, 2005 06:23 PM (GMT)
Yup, it means Window on the West, or literally, Window West.
It's in Ithilian, yes- Ithil, moon... OK, I'll stop now.

nosta (smell) (More movie stuff)

Adar 'father'

(I think that's right *scratches head* or could it be ada? No, I'll leave it at that, correct me if I'm wrong B) Note I only know the word because of the movies... god bless the movies :)... though I have never figured out much of what is said besides, that is, Sindarin-wise :( )

"You have my love, father!" the quote by Arwen? Yes, you're right. Without the a it means 'daddy'. I've manages to translate most of the movie stuff, C o E have got scripts that can sort the random syllables into words.
