    Thank you! But what about cases where the verb root begins with a diphthong? For example "aita" (surprise)?

    • @Kielimies
      @Kielimies 3 дні тому

      *_Aita-_ is a neologism and is not found at the Eldamo website. But a couple of other diphthong-root verbs such as _auta-_ are, along with their perfects. I recommend also taking a look at the Quenya Grammar at Eldamo, subsection "perfect" under "verb tenses" under "verbs".

    • @Cenindo
      @Cenindo 2 дні тому

      Good question! We may not have an entirely good example to guide us here. _Auta_ " go away" is said to have the irregular perfect tense _oantie_, where the "oa" part is meant to come from earlier _awa-". Tolkien does note that sometimes the augment was skipped altogether when a word began in a vowel, so that is also an option (besides reduplicating the entire initial syllable, as described in the video).

    For "I will throw an apple to a sheep", I myself would prefer the dative case _máman_ , as in Finnish one would logically pick _-lle_ (the common equivalent of the Indo-European dative) to translate this. Nonetheless the Quenya allative is acceptable if it also governs the sense "to the presence of".

    • @Cenindo
      @Cenindo Місяць тому

      As long as the idea is "in the physical direction of", I think the use of the allative can be defended. If the idea is rather "I throw an apple to a sheep for its benefit, so that it can eat it", I too would write "máman". It should however be recognized that the Quenya "dative" is in many ways simply a shortened allative, making the cases somewhat interchangeable.

  • @oliphant2848
    @oliphant2848 Місяць тому

    Thank you, great refresher. Two questions: Did I get it right that although the nominative plural of lasse is lassi and the plural of sicil is sicili, the instrumental plural has a difference in vowel length? lassínen vs. sicilinen? Because one is an e stem, right? And second question, I noticed that adding a possessive suffix makes nouns definite (no definite article any more). How then would you say "A tree of hers"?
