Okay but Lee 100% had it in him to play picnicking frolicsome Elvenking of the Hobbit books while also being brooding emotionally complex Thranduil of the films and I just generally feel robbed of giggly drunk Thranduil being a thing in the films

gender-neutral terms for gendered quenya words (and a little sindarin)

So when it comes to patronymics, such as Fëanárion or Ñolofinwiel, and general language, such as √yon and √yel, one pattern emerges: it's pretty gendered. So here's my attempt at changing some of that.

√yat - the root for a gender-neutral term for child.

-iat - gender-neutral replacement for -iel or -ion. ex. Lómiat (Lómion), Altária (Altáriel)

anat, yada - all alternatives for a gender-neutral version of child, as in anel and anon, yeldë and yondo (selda already exists for seldë and seldo)

súyat - nibling, an alternative for súyel and súyon

-ta - like -ndo or -llë, gender suffix for names. ex. Itarita (Itarillë), Caliota (Caliondo)

-ima - like -issë (iþþë) or -o, gender suffix for names. ex. Fëanárima, Írima (Írissë)

For Sindarin, the √yat could also be used. It's worth mentioning that in Sindarin, if a word ended in t, it would often be softened to d. So:

-iad - gender-neutral alternative to -ion and -iel. ex. Tinúviad (Tinúviel), Ingloriad (Inglorion)

-ad - gender-neutral alternative to Sindarin -il and -on. ex. Daerad (Daeron), Thuringwethad (Thuringwethil)

I'm not quite sure if this all fits, but there's no coincidental other meanings to any of these. It's just something I've been thinking of for a while, and that took me time to narrow down. I hope it can be useful.

(One of the ways to use this is if, for example, you made a character nonbinary - let's say Fëanáro - and his name may then be Fëanárima Þerindiat)

I somehow imagined Oropher just before the battle of Dagorlad, rising bis sword and encouraging his soldiers with a rousing battle cry, not knowing that it would be his last fight… Cuio vae, Oropher!

I also liked the idea of Thranduil wearing the silver crown in honour of his father on the battlefields in the future ❤️

I’m not personally a headcanonner of Maglor living in Rivendell in LotR under a new name, but if he is, I adamantly believe that he is not Lindir (“song guy”) but rather Erestor (tentatively glossed “lonely brother.”) Tragic humor or bust!

[arashikohedervary]

I'm not your average LotR fan who watches the movies every weekend, speaks Elvish, have read the Silmarillion multiple times and knows Lord Elrond's family tree by heart.

Because I speak Dwarvish.

[winds-of-zephyr416]

so you know how in the movies legolas says “a balrog of morgoth?”

well “morgoth” is fëanorian quenya, coined by fëanor himself. (in most texts i think? the proper sindarin version of this would be bauglir).

so either a, legs wanted to sound smart and used the archaic old stabby boy version, orrrrrr b, he learnt it from elrond. and then wanted to sound smart and used the stabby boy version.

edit: this is actually wrong! someone smarter than me explains it here

in sindarin elvish, if you mispronounce the word "while", you will end up saying "sexual desire"
