ELVISH PHRASES to
Memorize &
Use At Faire!
|  |
Most of these terms are Quenyan Elvish. But, some Sindarin may have snuck in!
(Only Quenyan is considered “High”Elvish … but, this in NO big WHOOP!
LOL)
Syllables in ALL CAPS within the Pronunciation Guide indicate a stressed (emphasized) syllable.
When followed by a red bullet (
), I’m absolutely CERTAIN of the PRONUNCIATION!
Otherwise, the pronunciation guide is my “EDUCATED” BEST GUESS. LOL.
