Topic: Elvish News
As of November 27, Christopher Gilson has published issue #16 of Parma Eldalamberon for $30, containing (among other things) drafts of Tolkien’s early Qenya poetry, Qenya declensions and conjugations, and alphabets pre-dating the Tengwar (in the external timeline, anyway). |

As of Dec. 18th, Carl F. Hostetter, editor of Vinyar Tengwar, has uploaded the very interesting and erudite essay Elvish as She is Spoke to the Articles page of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship.

Tindomul, I assume you're talking about Elvish as She is Spoke? It's a PDF file, and attempting to read it in something like Microsoft Word will appear as gibberish. Do you have Adobe Reader or any other program for reading PDF files? Adobe Reader is available for free, legal download here.

I've forgotten to update this thread as of March! Since then (out of chronological order):
Thorsten Renk has written an article on Vanyarin Quenya on his site Parma Tyelpelassiva. Thorsten Renk has written an article on Agental suffixes and gender distinction in the Qenya Lexicon on his site (see above). Omentielva Tatya is coming up in August, and is therefore still calling for papers. Thorsten Renk (with the help of others) has been continuing discussions about the neo-Elvish dialogue from the movies on the Elfling discussion list. The Collected Vinyar Tengwar Vol. 1 is now available (see Lambengolmor and VT Web Shop). Roman Rausch has written an article analyzing the Elvish names from volumes 6, 7, and 8 of HoME. See Lambengolmor and article on his site Sindanórië. |

Carl Hostetter has proclaimed in Lambengolmor 1001 that he plans to publish Vinyar Tengwar 49 at the end of May. Members of ELF should check their subscriptions to see when they run out, as those whose subscriptions ran out with issue 48 will only have about 2 weeks in order to order the single issue.
For further information, read the link above. |

Carl Hostetter has announced on Lambengolmor 1003 that the latest issue of Vinyar Tengwar (#49) will be coming out on June 18th. It will contain the third part of Patrick Wynne's Eldarin Hands, Fingers, & Numerals, and (more excitingly) an appendix on the verb "to be", five volitive phrases using nai, and the inflections of Q. pronominal suffixes from the 1960s!!

Because of request, Carl Hostetter has compiled a Special Series of Vinyar Tengwar, so one can buy issues 43-44, 45-46, or 47-49 separately without having to buy the entire 41-49. See Lambengolmor 1006. They are available at the VT Web Shop here.

The existence of a ?new? (well, I've never heard of it!) Tolkienian language, Mágo / Mágol, which is like Hungarian in phonological and grammatical style, has been mentioned on Lambengolmor 1012.

According to Lambengolmor 1014, the first volume of Arda Philology (in which some of the proceedings of Omentielva Minya can be found) is being published and can be bought online through the Omentielva website.

Helge Fauskanger has uploaded two of B.J. Ward's essays on Quenya Pronouns and Derivation in Khuzdul to his site (Ardalambion). And, totally unexpected, Helge says that Bill Welden handed out copies of PE17 (not even announced yet!) at the latest Omentielva, containing "200+ pages of post-LotR information ... [and] Tolkien's own comments on the various samples of "exotic" languages in the LotR", including some new information about Khuzdul. See Elfling #34301!

Helge Fauskanger gives a bit more background on some of the information within PE17 here — it looks like this issue will be a must-have for those interested in the languages!

Eluchil on the Minas Tirith forums quotes Bertrand Bellet as to what is contained in PE17 here. It looks like this issue will be a definite necessity!

Tyrhael: I was browsing here a couple weeks ago and saw a post saying something to the effect that with the new Vinya Tengwar, the whole Quenya grammar would have to be re-done or something like that.....So...Where can I find an up-to-date and corect source to learn Quenya??

Well, Taurëllo, not the whole Quenya grammar, but certainly a good chunk of it. And it looks like the new Parma Eldalamberon will make other changes necessary as well. The course that I would have previously recommended is Thorsten Renk's Quetin i lambe eldaiva, but as it's very long I can imagine that any updates to it will take him a while. He's been updating and incorporating new information into a few of his articles already, though, like his Quenya Past Tense one.
So at the moment I don't exactly think there's an up-to-date complete course. Though if I get some more free time (once PE17 arrives and I've read it) I might make a list of things that need to be updated — I had done so already, but before VT49, so my list is a little outdated. |

Thorsten Renk has updated his article The Sindarin Past Tense to include and reflect upon new information from PE17. On another note, those without PE17 can get a glimpse of what is included both on recent Elfling posts and on this thread on the German Tolkien-language forum Mellyn Lammath.

As posted on Elfling 34391, Thorsten Renk has written an article on the Quenya Perfect Tense here due to new information in PE17, and has updated the Quenya Minor Phrases index to include those from PE17 as well.

There is probably other relevant Elvish News going on that I haven't thought of — feel free to post if you can think of something. |

1) Helios De Rosario Martínez has a new article entitled Rúmilian Numerals on Tengwestië, according to Lambengolmor 1031.
2) Carl Hostetter comments on VT and PE errata on Lambengolmor 1027. 3) Roman Rausch, according to Elfling 34482, has updated his website Sindanórië to include updates to his article on words in RS/TI/WR, a rewritten article on Quenya adjective agreement, and a new article on a Goldogrin historical phonology. |

For those not watching Elfling:
1) Thorsten Renk now has a new version of his neo-Sindarin course Pedin Edhellen available on his site Parma Tyelpelassiva, cf. Elfling 34670. 2) Roman Rausch has two new articles on his site Sindanórie, dealing with the early Noldorin past tense as well as the diphthongs 'ei' and 'ai' in Noldorin and Sindarin. |

I suppose I forgot to mention that John Rateliff's History of the Hobbit, Part Two: Return to Bag End contains a lengthy tengwar specimen (from the late 1930s?) — it's classified as DTS 71. In Elfscript2 69, J. "Mach" Wust calls it "the third-longest tengwar text".

Another event of note — in similar vein as his Goldogrin historical phonology, Roman Rausch (our own Aranhael) has now presented a new article on Sindanórie entitled Historical phonologies of Early Ilkorin/Telerin/Noldorin, as stated on Elfling 34767.

I have probably missed / forgotten pieces for 'Elvish News' between now and April but cannot think of them; however, Magnus Åberg's newly-updated article on Khuzdul was announced yesterday on Elfling 35062 and can be found on Mellonath Daeron.

This might be quite off the subject but I have often read that Tolkien got most of his inspiration for elvish from Neolithic Welsh and during his studies at Oxford when he was taking comparitive philology for welsh he was so influenced by the language that he created his own
here is a link describing more in depth what I have breifly discussed http://www.elvish.org/resources.html
hope this helps us all to see the reason for this very interesting little creation of tolkiens .

Tolkien also here discovered "for the the first time the study of a language out of mere love"(Joseph Wright, A Primer of the Gothic Language. Oxford, 1892)
This might also help us to understand the passion that J.R.R. Tolkien had for linguistics and the art of languages which has greatly influenced me and my studies in the modern germanic laguage.

I got PE 18 in just a couple of weeks, much faster than my PE 17 (which I think was also several months, like you). I'm pretty optimistic that they'll be on top of things for this reprint as well (I'll find out, as I've preordered myself a copy).
