e_kloczkoOn the doors it does not say: speak friend and enter. This revelation might come as a shock to some. 😜 The changes that Tolkien made between his first ms and the final drawing are not whimsical. All have a logical explanation, like Mória (mutated Vória) => Moria. There were three intermediate manuscripts of the Doors. I present only the first.<a href="https://typo.social/tags/tolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tolkien</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/moria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moria</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/sindarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sindarin</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/elvish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elvish</a>

e_kloczkoIn Gondor Quenya was considered a difficult language, distant, like the land of Valinor, and learned only by a few. Sindarin, on the other hand, was called in Gondor the ‘noble tongue’ and was spoken by many: “Sindarin was an acquired polite language {among Humans} and used by those of more pure Númenórean descent, esp. in Minas Tirith, if they wished to be polite,” wrote Tolkien in Letter n° 347. <a href="https://typo.social/tags/tolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tolkien</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/gondor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gondor</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/sindarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sindarin</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/quenya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quenya</a>

e_kloczko"A Elbereth Gilthoniel" written by Tolkien in "The Road Goes Ever On" and in Tengwar Font.The capital E is not my invention but a variant "e" used sometimes by Elves (according to Tolkien). I find it convenient to differentiate Capital Tengwar when it is a "historically" correct form in Middle-earth.The dots over the i (in this mode) are simply a variant. It helps reading I believe.<a href="https://typo.social/tags/tolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tolkien</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/sindarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sindarin</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/tengwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tengwar</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/elvishtypography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elvishtypography</a>

Blind MapmakerHmm, Google ist nicht sonderlich hilfreich dabei, aber ich hab mich schon gefragt, ob <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sindarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sindarin</a> nicht ein sprachübergreifendes Wortspiel sein sollte. Ich meine, es liegt ja wirklich "Sinn darin".<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Quenya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quenya</a> ist etwas weiter weg, wobei <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Tolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkien</a> vielleicht das Altenglische cwen (=Königin) mitbedacht hat, so dass es etwa "the Queen's Elvish" sein könnte. Wahrscheinlich etsas an den Haaren herbeigezogen, aber für eine v.a. rituelle Sprache nicht komplett unsinnig.

Elena ``of Valhalla''Dear <a href="https://social.gl-como.it/search?tag=sindarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sindarin</a> speaking fediverseI don't speak Sindarin, but I found myself with an urgent need to know how one would say something like “Say meow and enter”, and some googling¹ and reading of web pages lead me to think it could be something like “Pedo muio a minno”, would it be correct?Or maybe something like “Say, cat, and enter” would be better, and that, if I'm not mistaken, would be “Pedo muig a minno”?If I understand correctly they are both neosindarin words, which makes me question Tolkien's priorities, but isn't necessarily an issue for my needs.Did I get something horribly wrong? Would something else be better?Thanks!¹ on searx :D

Radiant BlackTuxedoOS with Lutris on Linux 🐧 - After switching to Linux a few years ago, I wanted to test how well certain MMORPG's work nowadays. After single player basics like The Witcher 3 (part 2 runs natively on Linux anyway), Cyberpunk2077, Horizon Zero Dawn work without any problems, I wanted to see how it looks like in the MMORPG area. This brought me back to older MMORPG's like Lord of the Rings online, Guild Wars 2 and for me newer ones like Final Fantasy 14, The Elder Scrolls online and so on. Elder Scrolls online I've been playing since the beta, as well as GuildWars2 and LOTRo. While Elder Scrolls online has had many ups and downs for me since release (especially downs) and I've been disappointed year after year by some basic aspects of the game, the older games surprised me even more upon my return. Apart from the fact that they all run on Linux (some of them even better than on Windows for me), some of the games had changed so much that I decided to try them out again for some time. Interesting was which unconscious priority was set in the course of time. Purely from fun, interest and regular logging in, the playing time of the games is already unexpected. Currently I spend the most regular and longest time in: 1. LOTRo 2. GuildWars2 3. FFXIV (currently still at the very tough beginning which hopefully will become more interesting soon) 4. Elder Scrolls online The oldest of these 4 games currently brings me the most fun, the most updates and the least bugs, etc. - <a href="https://lutris.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lutris.net/</a> - Lord of the Rings - Elven Hunter - <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PlayOnLinux?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlayOnLinux</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Mirkwood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mirkwood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GamingOnLinux?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GamingOnLinux</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/RoleplayGamer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoleplayGamer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LordOfTheRingsOnline?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LordOfTheRingsOnline</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LinuxGaming?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxGaming</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PopOS?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PopOS</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LOTRo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LOTRo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GuildWars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuildWars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GW2?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GW2</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GamerCommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GamerCommunity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GuildWars2?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuildWars2</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ElderScrollsOnline?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElderScrollsOnline</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Lothlorien?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lothlorien</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Elves?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Elves</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ElderScrolls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElderScrolls</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FinalFantasy14?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FinalFantasy14</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/woodelves?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodelves</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FinalFantasyXIV?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FinalFantasyXIV</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MMO?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MMO</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TheWitcher?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheWitcher</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Linux?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Tolkien?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkien</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MMORPG?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MMORPG</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Skyrim?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skyrim</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FFXIV?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FFXIV</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WorldOfWarcraft?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldOfWarcraft</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LordOfTheRings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LordOfTheRings</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Sindarin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sindarin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/RPG?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RPG</a>
