Another Man's Cage--Chapter Five
My apologies for the delay in posting Chapter Five. As some already know (because I have been whining about it all week), my work-Internet was down for most of the week, and so the work that I could accomplish was limited to that which could be done during my few hours of "free time" each night
( Read more... )
I was asked this by someone else too. I did this because I figured that--from that character's strict PoV--they would refer to their parents in writing in the same manner as they addressed them. Kind of like, if I were writing a story about my father, in a familiar tone, I might write, "Dad and I have a lot in common, most notably our Polish stubborness."
But I am not a fan of random Elvish words dropped into stories, so this idea has been addling me lately....
I live in Devon, England, where there is an absolutely wonderful dialect....
I live in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and there is a dialect here too and--although I wouldn't call it wonderful--it is unique! ;)
My guess would be Vanyarin and Noldorin as dialects and Telerin as a separate language.
This was always my thought too. Did I see this somewhere? I think I did, although I can't remember where.... ::sigh:: I shall have to do some research, I suppose.
Thanks for the input (and the quick response)! :)

I also looked up the bit in 'Morgoth's Ring' about Feanor being the first elf born, and it's not so bad because it was a crossed out note with Feanor as Indis's son, but in one way it's worse since it refers to 1115 YT so that would mean no elves born at all (except Avari, perhaps) for the first 600 or so (sun) years of their existence.

Oh, thank you! And I have both--W00T! You're totally spoiling me!

::head spins, head implodes:: Indis' son! GAH!
