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

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

Amin mela lle.
