Sindarin - English
This update of our Sindarin Dictionary is for the first time in English, in the context of the
new English part of our website.
We have tried to present you a practical linguistic tool.
In this dictionary, you will find only the words, without any etymology, always in a practical
sense. For the Etymology, please have a look on Helge Fauskangers Sindarin Wordlist
http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf
http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/parviphith.doc
You will find also a lot of interesting grammatical features on Thorsten Renks website:
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/elvish/
and of course on the very good Sindarin Lexicon website
http://www.sindarin.de/
In this edition, we present you more words, but also more plural forms. Weve chosen mainly
the analogical construction when its doubtful.
This dictionary exists in book form too. Please refer to our website if youre interested in it.
