Hi Mr. Gully!
I was just writing my name in elvish, and I was wondering what you were supposed to do if there was a vowel after a double consonant. I don’t believe the vowel is silent. Other than that, thank you for your really helpful article!

Hey Ned,
I just found your page and the sight today and its really great. I noticed how many people asked you to write words for them- i bet that was really annoying. I actually found writing in Elvish easy because of the great tutorial- it explains everything!! I hope i’ve actually been doing it right!
I absolutely LOVE lord of the rings- they’re like the best movies!
It’s really good and I think really inspiring that you can have such a passion and interest for something like this type of writing for so long.
Keep it up!

Cheers, Esther :)

Hi, Mr. gulley, I was wondering if you could just clarify something for me?

I love your elvish alphabet but am slightly confused about the letter ‘Y’.

I usually move it down and to the left in all my writing, ( .. )however I notice that you have different forms for a ‘consonant’ and a ‘vowel’.

I’m not quite sre why that is and was wondering if you could explain, with possible examples?

Thank you for your time :)

I’m having trouble with my Elvish! I looked at the Eileen example, but not sure how to incorporate the H in my name in front of the EI

Hi Ned,

I was wondering, I have some text in elvish which I would have liked to be translated into English, but I can’t seem to work it out. I was wondering, since you seem to have some skill in it, are you up to a challenge and would you like to help me translate the text?

Best,

Jan

Hello! I like your page on the Elvish alphabet. I am still a mite confused, you see you my have over simplified the content. I would really like to learn to write in Elvish. The characters are beautiful, and I would love to substitute them for my native English ones. Could you possibly find the time to send me a link to slightly more detailed instructions on how to write in Elvish? Or could you publish a more advanced version to the one you currently have up and send me a link? I have managed to figure out how to write my first name, but not my middle name that starts with an A or my second last name that starts with an E. yes I have two last names, on from mom and one from dad. Any who thank your for your time and soory for the long comment.

Craig.

Hi Ned,

Found your link through the Elevn language page. It was so easy and helpful it only took me the one read-through to figure it out, really just a few minutes! Though I do have a question : My name is Sally, when writing my name which has two ‘L’s’, would it be more appropriate to use the elven symbol for ‘L’ twice or just once (would same apply to any double letters like the ‘R’s’ in ‘cherry’)? I loved your above blog about Paracelsus; I love learning neat tidbits about history like that. I am very interested in the Dark – Middle ages; for all the amazing things that transpired during those awful time, we still know so little. Thanks for a great web-page and I appreciate any help that can be sent my way.

Sincerely, Sally - New England, USA
