Mellonamin,<br />
Below you will find simple grammatical rules and word lists for use in creating elven phrases.<br />
Much effort has been put into making the process as simple as possible. A section on elven<br />
roleplay may also be found after the word list. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Company</strong>’s <strong>Elven</strong> is a growing language<br />
based 'loosely' on the elven found throughout JRR Tolkiens works. As we strive to nurture its<br />
growth, all input is encouraged and appreciated.<br />

future -uva<br />
conditional -aya<br />
Examples:<br />

* keep it simple, use portions of other words, and try to remain true to the flowing nature of elven<br />
* before using the words your new words, either post them to the GC private folder entitled <strong>Elven</strong><br />
<strong>Language</strong> Discussion, or get written permission from the Keeper of <strong>The</strong> Dictionary.<br />
* rationalize your derivation, before using the words that you create. If a suitable words for<br />
derivation do not exist than make one up keeping in mind simplicity and the nature of elven.<br />
* when taking a noun from a verb stem:<br />
1) conjugate to present form for direct noun (i.e. ele- to see, elea(v) sees, elea(n) sight<br />
2) for a related term, append either o or u to the stem (i.e. eleo - eye)<br />
3) when ascribing the verb to a person, append ar to the stem<br />
(i.e. oht-war, ohtar - warrior)<br />
* when creating words from two or more words, append together and drop enough letters from<br />
the appendor to avoid cumbersome letter sequences (see below)<br />
8) PHRASE CONSTRUCTION:<br />
* Use subject - verb - object (add adverbs and adjectives as above)<br />
* Phrase questions as statements followed by question maker.<br />
* Words such as a, does, would etc. may be inferred from the context of the phrase.<br />
* When appending pronouns or adjectives, you may drop letters from the appendor<br />
in order to eliminate awkward sequences of letters. Examples would be avoiding<br />
3 consonants in a row, 3 vowels in a row, or 2 of the same vowel in a row.<br />
Examples:<br />
Amin mela lle. I love you.<br />
Lye nuquernuva sen e dagor We will defeat them in battle<br />

Roleplaying Aids<br />
Story of the elves:<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many creation stories of how the elven race came about. Elves and magic originated close to the<br />
same time, and it was only later that the creation of humans, dwarves and other lesser races came about. Although<br />
interesting, the following is where we are at today as this world often becomes a confusing place.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are four primary branches of the elven race, most common being the high elves, then gray and wood<br />
elves and unfortunately, dark, drow elves. Elves tend to be a bit slimmer than most humans, and depending upon<br />
variety, either taller or shorter than humans, but rarely an average height. <strong>The</strong>y do not have facial hair. (Although<br />
some elves have been seen with beard disguises, )<br />
<strong>The</strong> spoken language is one that is as flowing as a melodic brook. An elf may live to be older than 1,200<br />
years and is generally about 130 before he earns the stature of being accepted as mature by other elves. It is very<br />
rare, if ever, that an elf is ever known to pass from this life due to the wearing of years. Before that happens, they<br />
become compelled to depart the realms of men. Where they go is uncertain.<br />
Elves are generally not evil, with few exceptions such as the drow. Most would be considered neutral as the<br />
world is seen more as gray or a balance of good and evil, life and death. Often times there will be a tendency to lean<br />
towards being good, just because of the caring of others and nature.<br />
Elves are quite handsome and have a greater appreciation for nature’s beauty, dancing and singing. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
humor is clever, as well as is their song and poetry.<br />
As compared to human and dwarves, elves are generally brave and not foolhardy. <strong>The</strong>ir common drink is,<br />
unless of course a good Fey wine would happen to be available that of mead, preferably heated to a blood warm temperature. Drinking to the excess is uncommon, although<br />
there are times when a bit of Fey wine or a bit of Dwarven spirits are misjudged. Ale is a very uncommon and<br />
somewhat bitter beverage. However some of us have traveled so much with the dwarven clan, a slight taste has been<br />
acquired in order to become a gracious acceptor of an offered mug.<br />
Relationships with humans is often times distant. Whether it is by choice or that a human is often hasty,<br />
indecisive, and comparatively short lived is questionable. Dwarves are competent allies and some make good friends,<br />
but they have different lifestyles that are not generally compatible with elves. Elves do not care for the caverns, caves<br />
or mines that our dwarf neighbors are so fond of.<br />
To some other races, elves are sometimes considered aloof, snooty and frivolous and have personalities that<br />
are impossible to fathom. In fact they are not, perhaps because of their longevity. Elves have learned the benefits of<br />
patients before passing judgment and take time before making judgments. This is also why the waiting period before<br />
acceptance into the <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Company</strong> is generally one month. For an elf to not even have patience that long sometimes<br />
shows traces of having spent to much times with the other races and their values.<br />
Although they do not make friends easily, elves consider oftentimes associates and friends as near equals.<br />
An elf-friend is a very close, dear and honorary title that is difficult to earn and given to those who are stoic,<br />
honorable and follow many elven ways. Likewise, an enemy of the elves is never forgotten, especially the evil ones<br />
of the woods.<br />
All and all it becomes apparent why the elves have always endured throughout the years and are the most<br />
superior of races. With values, pure hearts, respect, honor and closely held blood ties, the elven race will continue far<br />
long after man has gone.<br />

<strong>Elven</strong> holidays<br />
Yenearsira - Winter Solstice, the <strong>Elven</strong> new year. A day of rebirth.<br />
Sheelala - A day of games and practical jokes celebrated in early spring.<br />
Ehtele'mele - Vernal equinox. A week of romance and song.<br />
Faradome - Summer Solstice. A celebration of the battle between Corellon and Gruumsh One-Eye.<br />
A night of orc hunting.<br />
Yavieba - Autumnal equinox. A week of reflection and a time to remember those who have left this world.<br />
Most important decisions and judgments are made during this week.<br />
Favorite <strong>Elven</strong> Wines<br />
Saerloonian Glowfire-pale wine, luminous, taste reminiscent of pears.<br />
Saerloonian Topaz-yellow amber wine w/ nutty quality and bold fruit overtones.<br />
Mead-sweet wine of fermented honey.<br />
Elverquisst- a ruby-colored liquor magically distilled from sunshine and rare summer fruits. Utterly<br />
smooth, the liquor is nonetheless flecked with gold and has an iridescence of both color and<br />
flavor. It is highly prized at all times, but in the autumn rituals it is savored as if it is the gift<br />
of one final, perfect summer day.<br />
Evermead-THE elven mead, imported from evermeet. <strong>The</strong> one to which all others are compared<br />
and found wanting<br />
Clarry-table wine blend sweetened w/ honey and spices.<br />
Arabellan Dry-fine red wine, very dry woodsy overtones and a slight berry taste.<br />
Berdruskan Dark-heavy sweet and burning, almost black, HIGH alcohol content.<br />
Morimatra-a spiced wine favored by the Drow.<br />
Other Items Of Interest<br />
Kholiast-elven card game consisting of a 1000 card deck, dice and a very difficult method of counting<br />
points. A high elf favorite.<br />
Shalaquin-long necked elven instrument, plucked or strummed string tension is controlled by a<br />
ratcheting wheel.<br />
