The Grey Company's Elven

The Grey Company The Elven Language 12/5/00

Mellonamin, Below you will find simple grammatical rules and word lists for use in creating elven  phrases. Much effort has been put into making the process as simple as possible. A section on elven roleplay may also be found after the word list. The Grey Company’s Elven is a growing language based 'loosely' on the elven found throughout JRR Tolkien’s works. As we strive to nurture nurture its growth, all input is encouraged and appreciated.

 Lissenen ar' maska'lalaith tenna' lye omentuva  Lywnis Autumleaf, Tel'Mithrim This dictionary and accompanying phrase guide represent uncountable hours of work by the members of the Grey Company.

If you add your own words and phrases, please inform a member  member  of the Grey Company so we can see to it that the new words are added; you'll be given credit for it.

GRAMMAR  1) PLURALS: * Denoted r, ea, ie, or, io, and oo. Exact choice is left up to the person creating the plural. * Use -rim to denote great numbers or respect Examples: nimbrethie = birches Aredhelrim = elf lords

2) PRONOUNS: * when when used alone pronouns express subjects (amin mela lle - I love you) you) * when used in possessive phrases they express possession (melamin - my love) I (my,mine) we, us (ours) he she it (its) you (yours) you(p) (yours-p)

amin lye ro re ta lle llie

him (his) her (hers) they them (their) this that who

ho he ron sen sina tanya ya

3) POSSESSIVE PHRASES: SIMPLE Subject:possessor  * Append pronoun to end of object. * Pluralize noun first. Examples: irmo = desire, irmoamin = my desire desire or irmoieamin = my desires atar = father, atarho = his father  COMPLEX Subject of Subject:possessor  * Seperate secondary subject (possessed by primary subject) with en from the simple familiar of t he primary subject. Examples: mela en coiamin love of the life of I love of my life tinu en atarahe daughter of the mother of her her mother's daughter  SIMPLE NONFAMILIAR OR PROPER  Subject of Possessor  * use when possessor is expressing distance/separation from object or when possessor is proper. * Seperate subject from possessor with en. Examples: mellon en amin friend of I my friend (expresses distance) megil en Lywnis sword of Lywnis Lywnis' sword

4) ADJECTIVES: * Append to the front of the object/action they are describing. Examples: corialote purple flower  lashae wide ocean (last 2 n’s from lann dropped) * when expressing intensities (i.e. bright, brighter, br ightest) 1) when stem ends in vowel append -n for -er and -nin for -est Examples: tiri = bright, brightly tirin = brighter tirinin = brightest 2)when stem ends in noun append -in for -er and -inin for -est Examples: calen = green calenin = greener caleninin = greenest

6) VERBS: * Conjugate to past, present, future, conditional with with e,a, uva, aya  past -e  present -a future -uva conditional -aya Examples: amin elee = I saw, amin elea = I see, amin eleuva = I shall see, amin eleaya = I would see * two or more conjugated verbs may exist in one phrase as long as as are not strung together.

2

* use unconjugated verbs when when stringing more than one together  Examples: amin irma quen I desire to speak  lle delotha mel amin You hate to love me * -ing endings are expressed by appending -ad or -ien to the stem if it ends in a noun or - d if it ends in a vowel. Example: amin naa tulien a' i'til I am coming to the point * -ed endings are expressed using the past tense conjugation. Example: nardane ron kaime e' i'ranquie en' ilye ilye n'at entwined they slept in each others arms

7) CREATION OF NEW WORDS  * keep it simple, use portions of other words, and try to remain true to the flowing nature of elven * before using the words your new words, either post them to the GC private folder entitled Elven Language Discussion, Discussion, or get written permission from the Keeper of T he Dictionary. * rationalize your derivation, before using using the words that you you create. If a suitable words for  derivation do not exist than make one up keeping in mind simplicity and the nature of elven. * when taking a noun from a verb stem: 1) conjugate to present form for direct noun (i.e. ele- to see, elea(v) sees, elea(n) sight 2) for a related term, append either o or u to the stem (i.e. eleo - eye) 3) when ascribing the verb to a person, append ar to the stem (i.e. oht-war, ohtar - warrior) * when creating words from two or more words, append t ogether and drop enough letters from the appendor to avoid cumbersome letter sequences (see below)

8) PHRASE CONSTRUCTION: * Use subject - verb verb - object (add adverbs and adjectives as above) above) * Phrase questions as statements followed by question maker. * Words such as a, does, would etc. may be inferred from the context of the phrase. * When appending pronouns or adjectives, you may drop letter s from the appendor  in order to eliminate awkward awkward sequences of letters. Examples would be avoiding 3 consonants in a row, 3 vowels in a row, or 2 of the same vowel in a row. Examples: Amin mela lle. I love you. Lye nuquernuva sen e dagor We will defeat them in battle Lle anta yulna en alu? Do you need a drink of water? Uma, amin naa fauka. Yes, I am thirsty Amin sinta thaliolle e dagor I know your strength in battle. More Complex Examples: Amin lastuva ten' aredhelamin quena hodo.

Roleplaying Aids Story of the elves: There are many creation stories of how the elven race came about. Elves and magic originated close to the same time, and it was only later that the creation of humans, dwarves and other lesser races came about. Although interesting, the following is where we are at today as t his world often becomes a confusing place. There are four p rimary branches of the elven race, most common being the high elves, then gray and wood elves and unfortunately, dark, drow elves. Elves tend to be a bit slimmer than most humans, and depending upon variety, either taller or shorter than humans, but rarely an average height. They do not have facial hair. (Although some elves have been seen with beard disguises, ) The spoken language is one that is as flowing as a melodic brook. An elf may live to b e older than 1,200 years and is generally about 130 before he earns the stature of being accepted as mature by other  elves. It is very rare, if ever, that an elf is ever known to pass from this life d ue to the wearing of years. Before that happens, they become compelled to depart the realms of men. Where they go is uncertain. Elves are generally not evil, with few exceptions such as the drow. Mo st would be considered neutral as the world is seen more as gray or a balance of good and evil, life and death. Often times there will  be a tendency to lean towards being good, just because of the caring of others and nature. Elves are quite handsome and have a greater appr eciation for nature’s beauty, dancing and singing. Their humor is clever, as well as is their song and poetry. As compared to human and dwarves, elves are generally brave and not foolhardy. T heir common drink is, unless of course a good Fey wine would happen to be available that of mead, preferably heated to a blood warm temperature. Drinking to the excess is uncommon, although there are times when a bit of Fey wine or a bit of Dwarven spirits are misjudged. Ale is a very uncommon and somewhat bitter beverage. However some of us have traveled so much with the dwarven clan, a slight taste has been acquired in order to become a gracious acceptor of an offered mug. Relationships with humans is often times distant. Whether it is by choice or that a human is often hasty, indecisive, and comparatively short lived is questionable. Dwarves are competent allies and some make good friends, but they have different lifestyles that are not generally compatible with elves. Elves do not care for the caverns, caves caves or mines that our dwarf neighbors are so fond fond of. To some other races, elves ar e sometimes considered aloof, snooty and frivolous and have  personalities that are impossible to fathom. In fact they are not, perhaps because of their longevity. Elves have learned the benefits of patients before passing judgment and take time before making judgments. This is also why the waiting period before acceptance into t he Grey Company is generally one month. For an elf  to not even have patience that long sometimes shows traces of having spent to much times with the other  races and their values. Although they do not make friends easily, elves consider oftentimes associates and friends as near  equals. An elf-friend is a very close, d ear and honorary title that is difficult to earn and given to those who are stoic, honorable and fol low many elven ways. ways. Likewise, an enemy of the elves is never forgotten, especially the evil ones of the woods. All and all it becomes apparent why the elves have always endured endured throughout the years and are the most superior of races. With values, pure hearts, respect, honor and closely held blood ties, the elven race will continue far long after man has gone.

Elven holidays Yenearsira - Winter Solstice, the Elven new year. A day of rebirth. Sheelala - A day of games and practical j okes celebrated in early spring.  Ehtele'mele - Vernal equinox. A week of romance and song.  Faradome - Summer Solstice. A celebration of the battle between Corellon and Gruumsh One-Eye. A night of orc hunting. Yavieba - Autumnal equinox. A week of reflection and a time to remember those who have left this world. Most important decisions and judgments are made during this week. Favorite Elven Wines Saerloonian Glowfire-pale Glowfire -pale wine, luminous, taste reminiscent of pears. Saerloonian Topaz -yellow -yellow amber wine w/ nutty quality and bold fruit overtones.  Mead -sweet -sweet wine of fermented honey.  Elverquisst - a ruby-colored liquor magically distilled from sunshine and rare summer fruits. Utterly smooth, the liquor is nonetheless flecked with gold and has an iridescence of both color and flavor. It is highly prized at all times, but in the autumn rituals it is savored as if it is the gift of one final, perfect summer day.  Evermead -THE -THE elven mead, imported from evermeet. The one to which all others ar e compared and found wanting Clarry-table Clarry-table wine blend sweetened w/ honey and spices.  Arabellan Dry-fine Dry -fine red wine, very dry woodsy overtones and a slight berry taste.  Berdruskan Dark -heavy -heavy sweet sweet and burning, almost black, HI GH alcohol content.  Morimatra-a  Morimatra-a spiced wine favored by the Drow. Other Items Of Interest  Kholiast -elven -elven card game consisting of a 1000 card deck, dice and a very difficult method of counting  points. A high elf favorite. Shalaquin-long Shalaquin -long necked elven instrument, plucked or strummed string tension is controlled by a ratcheting wheel.
