the tolkien linguistic saga continues

nandorins suffix -a is both adjectival and genitive bc they came from 2 different primitive elvish suffixes, -ā and -ō, that eventually became -a.

kinda like the english word for lie; both have proto-germanic roots but end up at 'lie'

*leuganan (speak falsely) > legan > lien > lie

*legjan (rest horizontally) > licgan > lien > lie

why is ñg > g considered a sindarin rule, makes more sense for it to be ancient telerin

ñgolodō (pe) > goldV (nan.), golodh (s.), goldo (t)

thoughts about using danian words while studying nandorin linguistic history?
