Vinyar Tengwar Index VINYAR TENGWAR INDEX Version 1.02 – February 2006 This index lists in alphabetical order all words, roots, affixes, etc. belonging to languages invented by J.R.R. Tolkien which appear attested, discussed or mentioned in the journal Vinyar Tengwar (VT). Its purpose is to provide the researcher with quick access to a reference, or to allow focusing on a particular form by checking it against other locations where information can be found. The information here gathered comprises only the bibliographical position of forms: only issue and page numbers are given, without the least of analyses. Neither meaning nor morphology are given. Different forms that a word can adopt (by declension, etc.) are not unified: e.g., each form of the entu, ensi, enta declension in VT36:8 has been given a separate entry. Not even homophones are distinguished: e.g., all attestations of a word written esse (pronoun in VT36:8 and noun in VT45:12) are placed under the same entry. The criterion for inclusion is rather generous. The index lists not only direct attestation, which would be straightforward transcription of Tolkien’s text where the form is given, but also any other occasion where in one way or another reference is made to forms because of their linguistic interest, whether it is directly attested, discussed or used for comparison with other forms. The index is therefore larger than might have been otherwise, but we hope that its thoroughness makes up for size. Hypothetical forms, not actually present in the Tolkienian corpus, have also been included, when they are mentioned as explanations of attested forms, for the sake of analogy, in order to point erroneous forms, etc. (e.g., *assa-t-ʒō in VT36:25, **airelya in VT43:9, etc.)1. Forms are given with the exact spelling as they appear in VT. No attempt has been made to regularize such well-known cases as the equivalence of c and k in Q(u)enya, the use of diaeresis, etc. etc. There is a simple reason for this, related to the one that refrained the compiler from going into deeper analysis: whereas forms as printed impose a limited but coherent method, any analysis and standarization necessitates decisions of various kinds, that can only be idiosincratic and lead to prologues even longer than this one. Besides, VT articles usually seem to quote printed forms with the same spelling as its sources (e.g., the HTM), and it seemed that following the same policy was only fair. Finally, even a short familiarity with Tolkienian linguistics should suffice for this not to mean a problem: for instance, it has not been deemed necessary to make cross-references between alcar and alkar. However, some criteria unavoidable for giving this work some cohesion are as follows: • The use of capitals is meaningful in many cases. Tolkien obviously uses them for marking names, but also for roots, and sometimes for more specific reasons (as highlighting a strengthened consonant in laS-ē, VT39:9). These cases have been distinguished here; fortuitous use of capitals at the beginning of a sentence is only indicated by means of alternative spellings in the same entry (e.g. aire / Aire). • The following symbols have been retained: * (asterisk for unattested forms) - (hyphen for endingless forms, radicals, affixes, endings, morpheme analysis, etc.), · (raised dot separating articles and morphemes; forms with hyphens and raised dots have not been split here), () (brackets for optional sounds), √ (root), etc. Symbols like ? (dubious form) or † (poetic of archaic) have been disregarded. • Forms clearly indicated as roots and bases (without considering further differences between these) have been unified, whether marked by capitals, hyphen, asterisk or √ symbol (e.g., √kam / *KAM / KAM / √KAM). 1 Unfortunately, the editor and contributors to VT usually employ and asterisk (*) to mark non attested forms. This is not objectable in itself, but coincides with Tolkien’s use of this symbol to mark historic forms, so that only context can tell the former from the latter. No effort has been made here to make a distinction between them. 1 • Unfinished or evidently erroneous forms have been added without comment (e.g., ke in VT42:32 is no more than some incomplete form of kemen). • Some very common forms with English affixes have been included, like Feanorian. Not that they can do much harm any more. • Entries are given in strict alphabetical order. Special characters lead to some inconsistency: ʒ is placed after h; ð and þ together with dh and th; æ and œ are placed like ae and oe; no distinction is made between ŋ and ñ, which are placed after n; ǝ is placed at the end; χ stands for ch; variants like đ, , , etc. are considered only variants of other characters. Symbols mentioned in the second item above are not taken into account in the alphabetical arrangement. • Brackets in page references are used when one page gives information about a specific form without mentioning it as given in the entry. Typically, this happens with analytical occurences like assi-nta-s in VT36:25, against attested assintas (not mentioned in that page). This system is also used for forms such as milye, which is only implied in (a)milye (VT47:26-7, etc.). • Editorial errata are included, but the correct form (which is also given a separate entry) is mentioned between brackets, according to the list compiled by Per Lindberg in http://www.elvish.org/errata/ (Vinyar Tengwar section – it is usally necessary to refer to that list in order to understand syntetic referencies in this index). S. Berto’s message (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lambengolmor/message/753) was also used to list some hyphenated forms in VT45 and VT46. This version of the index covers the following sections: • VT36 pp. 5-6, 34 ‘Letters to VT’; pp. 7-29 ‘The Entu, Ensi, Enta Declension’. • VT39: pp. 4-20 ‘From Quendi and Eldar, Appendix D’; pp. 21-34 ‘Ósanwe-kenta’. • VT40: pp. 6-32 ‘Narqelion and the Early Lexicons’. • VT41 pp. 3-4 ‘Letters to VT’; pp. 5-6 ‘Etymological Notes on the Ósanwe-kenta’; pp. 7-10 ‘From The Shibboleth of Fëanor’. • VT42 pp. 3-4 ‘Letters to VT’; pp. 5-31 ‘The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor’; pp. 32-4 ‘Negation in Quenya’. • VT43: pp. 5-38 ‘Words of Joy’ (Part One). • VT44 p. 4 ‘Letters to VT’; pp. 5-20 ‘Words of Joy’ (Part Two); pp. 21-30 ‘Ae Adar Nín’; pp. 31-38 ‘Alcar mi Tarmenel na Erun’. • VT45: pp. 3-38 ‘Addenda and Corrigenda’ (Part One). • VT46: pp. 3-23 ‘Addenda and Corrigenda’ (Part Two); pp. 28-9 ‘Appendix II: Inserted slips’. • VT47: pp. 3-42 ‘Eldarin Hands, Fingers & Numerals – Part I’. • VT48: pp. 4-34 ‘Eldarin Hands, Fingers & Numerals – Part II’. These, broadly speaking, include most of the linguistic information published in VT for the first time. Previous issues ad other sections will be included some day (?). Also, the index is being updated as new issues appear. PERSONAL NOTE: I started working on this index as a private tool for systematizing information, complementary to any other research project. It eventually grew and required so much time and effort that I was advised to turn it into a public tool, so I revised the whole and tried to give it some cohesion, which is the system explained in the introduction. If the finished index does in any way help other people who want to gain a better insight of Tolkien’s linguistic creations, the effort will be rewarded. I myself have found it extremely useful, both while compiling in and afterwards as a tool proper. Last but not least, I wish to thank Helios de Rosario Martínez, Imrahil, for his valuable advice concerning various technical aspects of the work; and especially Enrique Esteban Mombello, whose 2 generous courage accomplished the astonishing task of developing the Argentia Roman font, used throughout this work, so that even the least diacritic mark is pleaced where Eru meant it to be. ERRORS – this index cannot but contain many: missing forms and wrong transcriptions for one; inconsistencies regarding the self-imposed criteria; or mistakes in the criteria themselves. It has been revised repeatedly, and each time it has come out modified. I will thank those readers who detect such errors and instead of dumping the whole jots them down and email me, so that some day this becomes a really useful tool. Comments about the approach to this kind of task are of particular interest. Hláford Diego A.

  • Encoding of Tengwar Telcontar Version 0.08
    Tengwar Telcontar ‍ This document discusses the encoding of Tengwar Telcontar version 0.08. The latest version of the font and this document can be downloaded from the Free Tengwar Font Project: http://freetengwar.sourceforge.net/. Changes from earlier proposals By creating a fully functional Unicode font for Tengwar, my intention is to promote the proposal to encode Tengwar in Unicode, and to spur the discussion on the best way to design such an encoding. What then constitutes the best way to encode Tengwar? This I can hardly decide on my own; indeed, it is of the highest importance that an encoding proposal is approved by a majority of the Tengwar user community. You are therefore cordially invited to discuss and to propose changes to Tengwar Telcontar. If you want to familiarize yourself with the Unicode standard in general, you can find much information at http://www.unicode.org/. In particular, I recommend that you read chapter 2 of The Unicode Standard, which defines many important concepts (e. g. terms like character, glyph, etc.): http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch02.pdf. The current encoding of the characters in Tengwar Telcontar (shown in a table at the end of this document) is based on the encoding in Michael Everson’s latest discussion paper at the Conscript Unicode Registry: http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/tengwar.pdf. However, I have on more than one occasion diverged from Everson’s table, adding some characters that I felt were missing and removed others that, to my opinion, either do not merit inclusion at all, or which possibly might be better represented in other ways.

  • Linguistic Soundtrack Textbook 2 — LINGUISTIC SOUNDTRACK TEXTBOOK
    THE LORD OF THE RINGS Linguistic Soundtrack Textbook 2 — LINGUISTIC SOUNDTRACK TEXTBOOK Introduction I have compiled this textbook as a reference while listening to the score of Howard Shore of Peter Jackson’s movie-version of The Lord of the Rings. It is based on information from the Gwaith-i- Phethdain-website, http:\\www.elvish.org\gwaith (All my thanks to those who helped to provide these information!), and comprises most non-english lyrics of all three film installments. In the first three parts, the lines that are sung are listed (as many as could be discovered...) with the corresponding times, sorted by film and track. Then follow the original poems, their translations etc. The times given refer to the special limited editions of the soundtrack. Still, they are incomplete and thus I have to ask your help to complete them. Any new hints can be mailed to [email protected]. All texts here reproduced are ©ed by New Line Cinema. They are from the official booklets, music sheets and websites. I wish you lots of fun in discovering the lyrics! Julian ‘Flammifer’ Jarosch, 29.03.04 Explanations: The marked parts of the poems are those that are sung in the score. Parts in grey are uncertain resp. left out. Parts in {braces} are comments / additions by me. You will find annotations with roman numeralsXXI where help is needed. — 0:05 ----Means that only the endig time of a lyric is known. The structure of the linguistic notes is roughly as follows: attested word part of speech, flection 'english translation'; (SOURCE).

Danielson: Re-reading the Map of Middle-earth Introduction In Chapter 1 of The Hobbit, we learn of our protagonist Bilbo Baggins that “He loved maps, and in his hall there hung a large one of the Country Round with all his favourite walks marked on it in red ink” (Tolkien 1966, p. 32-33). Some decades later, Bilbo's distant cousin Pippin laments his failure to have fully consulted the maps available in Rivendell before the Fellowship departed on its long journey (Tolkien 1965a, p. 370). From a handful of references such as these, we know that cartography existed in Middle-earth, and indeed that it was considered a perfectly ordinary and sensible thing to look at a map to find one's way.

For example, the break-up of language has been seen as a metaphor for the fragmentation of original truth or purity, and the divergence of the various races of Elves is connected to the separation of their languages (Flieger, 2002). In the narrative, the two Elvish languages most used in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, Quenya and Sindarin, diverge from a shared ancestor, but evolve in isolation from each other: Quenya develops in the heavenly Undying Lands whereas Sindarin remains in Middle-Earth, a land of relative strife and hardship. Although Quenya is a language heavily influenced by the divine beings who shaped the world, it is Sindarin, curiously, which wields power in Middle-Earth, and is often used to invoke magic.

  • Quenta Ession As Tengwar Dan Smithva: the Book of Names With
    Quenta Ession as Tengwar Dan Smithva: the Book of Names with Dan Smith’s Letters The Book of Names will tell you how to transcribe the names of many of Tolkien’s characters and places using his alphabets. The original book of names just shows the assorted names using tengwar: Elrond lj7h2{ This is useful when you want to copy the lettering over by hand. However, if you are producing artwork digitally, you may want to use one of the commonly available TrueType fonts. For a variety of reasons, there is no good way to arrange tengwar into a font (you can’t simply put the tengwa for ‘a’ on the ‘a’ key because there are several tengwar that mean ‘a’ in different situations). So just typing ‘elrond’ into a font will get you elrond—which looks, to an Elf, like you were trying to write ‘fevhwwch’. To get out lj7h2{, you have to type lj7h2{. So the current version of the Book of Names shows the letters you must type to get the correct spelling of the characters’ names: Elrond lj7h2{ lj7h2{ This will work with the following fonts: • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Dan Smith’s Tengwar Quenya • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Dan Smith’s Tengwar Sindarin • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Dan Smith’s Tengwar Noldor • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Johan Winge’s Tengwar Annatar (the font used in this document) • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Mans Björkman’s Tengwar Parmaite • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Mans Björkman’s Tengwar Eldamar • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Enrique Mombello’s Tengwar Elfica • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Enrique Mombello’s Tengwar Gothika • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Josh Griffing’s Tengwar Teleri • lj7h2{ ql7l4lj Paulo A.

  • Simple Lessons on Writing Sindarin with Tengwar an Introduction
    Simple Lessons on Writing Sindarin with Tengwar An Introduction These lessons are intended by the author (Fíriel :)) to only be a starting point for learning the basics of Tengwar in writing Sindarin, and not a complete course – if you have any interest in using Tengwar to write other languages (such as Quenya, English, French, etc), there are many well-documented sources and websites out there. These lessons are intended to be an accompaniment to Gildor Inglorion’s Sindarin Course at the Council of Elrond. It would also be impossible to simply memorise all the information presented in this mini-course after reading it once; several re-readings should be the norm, and there’s certainly no need to ‘cram’ it all! NOTE: The fonts that will be used for these lessons (readings AND homeworks) will be the fonts from Dan Smith’s site. To download them so you will be able to send in your homeworks, follow these instructions: Go to this site, by copying and pasting the address, and download ALL the "font packs" that have a "Windows" icon (5 of them altogether) ON THE left side of the page. http://www.acondia.com/font_tengwar/index.html Install them by doing the following: 1.)
