Does anyone feel qualified to look over some Sindarin words, phrases and names I want to include in a story? I've read the LOTR appendices and looked into various on-line resources but I'm not confident I'm doing it right. If you think you're an authority, then you're who I'm looking for.  Lemme know.

Nancy,
I don't claim to be an authority on Sindarin, but I will freely admit that I am a collector of knowledge. Perhaps I might know of a resource that you haven't looked at just yet. Just send me an email about the Sindarin words and what not you're looking for and I will see what I can do to point you in the right direction.

You can post your question in the Elvish 101 forums at councilofelrond.com. They know what their talking about, and are generally really nice. Though I think you have to register to post, I'm not sure if you have to or if you want to mess with that for the answer.

Thanks, Gabriel, I will try that. Hopefully they will be encouraged to overlook my thickheadedness by my sincere desire to be correct!

Someone on another list just asked a very similar question to yours and a listsib came forward and suggested this site:
http://www.netwalker9000.com/ela.html
I haven't really had a thorough look yet but it seems pretty decent.
Hope this helps,
do.

I went to that site, Dolarabee, and it looked very different from the Sindarin that I was taught at councilofelrond.com, then I spotted the fateful words "The Elven Dictionary was obtained from The Grey Company". The Grey Company is listed under resources to avoid at CoE:
www.grey-company.org
Perhaps the largest website devoted to RPG Elvish. This site will NOT help you learn any of Tolkiens languages. The authors sole intent was to create a language for RPG's and does not follow any of Tolkiens own guidelines. THIS WLL NOT HELP YOU LEARN QUENYA OR SINDARIN.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea peeps went around, purposely misleading others like that...
What is the world coming to?
do.

| Thanks for your continued input, everyone. I checked out CoE yesterday before realizing I needed to study my own work a little harder to frame a good question. But I will, and let you know the results. |

Just wanted to say thanks for the Council of Elrond tip; two members there in particular have been very helpful in answering my questions and considering my translations.
Cheers,
