It's weird, I know. I've now translated the entire epistle to the Ephesians from Greek, to… Quenya. Elvish. That would seem to serve no purpose, since there are in fact no High-Elves who might benefit from this translation. And it is of course uncertain whether they would be able to puzzle through the modern "Neo-Quenya" anyway. (I think even the Ñoldor loremasters would have difficulty.) |
Other than that, I can't say I have gained much beyond a very thorough knowledge of Quenya, which will not prove very useful, I fear. What can I say? I love language. And the Professor was a linguistic genius, in my opinion.
