Erm, hate to say this.
Melethen is more correct and is based on Sindarin. The melamin thing from the grey company is from a language they made up for their RPG (or I think it's an RPG anyway), and although it does use little bits of Sindarin / Quenya in its construction, it isn't Tolkien elvish.
Sorry.
But if you need help with Sindarin, feel free to PM me. I'm self-taught but foreign languages are my hobby and I have a fair knowledge of the elven lingo's, mainly Sindarin or Quenya.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A WINNER !!!!!
Sorry Al, send me some I'll help you search em. 
By the way, i don't say Mae Govannen without asking Space or Thuriniel first. It's just not wise.

Course you can send 'em. I'm in no position to laugh, as the only reason I know about the grey compnay site is because I came across it when I was looking to learn elvish, and it was only when I figured that, out of all the sites I looked at, it was the one that was different, that I decided to ignore it. (And later learned what the site actually was.)
So yeah, send away.

You know Space, this may be a bit OT, but I'm kinda getting a little girl wood over Lord Elrond's do, I should probably talk to someone about it, shouldn't I. Next thing ya know, I'll be wearing hot pink and neon orange flip flops.

I think I'm going strange as I am starting to think that hairdo is actually quite cute 
But yes, very very

Melethen, or meleth nín are the correct forms. Definitely. Stay away from that Grey Company Sindarin: IT SUCKS!!!!!! 
That said, I know I do have some "amelamins" in my fic ... one more thing to edit out !

Did you ever get my PM about the verb "to love" in Sindarin? There isn't such. In Sindarin you say "you have my love", not "I love you."

Yes I did and come to think of it I did make that change in one story. I am not sure if I made it in all. I now have a document that shows all of my revisions to make so I can do a search and replace on all of them. My first story has probably 10 sentences in addition to the ones I have listed that I have gotten from various sites including grey company. Now I have to hunt and find those and send them to you or Space. Like I said before, my elves are going around spouting words of nonsense instead of muttering sweet nothings. UGH -  who knew! Until I came to OSA, I was blissfully going along thinking my elves were so poetic and sexy.  It's amazing what you learn from this site. Everything to elves having pubic hair to Sindarin!

A question here for anyone who would know. Denathor says - I am steward of the House of Anarion. Doesn't Anarion mean child of the sun?
