I'll even translate. These are from the elven I created for my "fantasy" realm (tales and gaming.) Re'na'chi means friend of past and future. Sha'n'tara'chi means my friend who approaches life with appropriate questioning, and tries to act similarly.
wow! i didn't know you created your own languages! have you read humphrey carpenter's biography of tolkein? it's very good. i want to be him when i grow up....but with a better understanding of women. haven't gotten to creating my own languages yet though.
have i told you lately that i really need to meet you in person? *ponders excuses to get ross to go to new mexico*
It was the best solution I could come up with for what I was hearing in my head when I wrote. Someday I will have to have an actual real live linguist sit down and figure out what languages it is I speak when I'm delerious. I know that English is likely at least my second, if not my third or fourth. Yay being me with the earliest childhood years behind this wall of training and pain and "that never happened." Bah. Not read that particular one, although I have several studies on his actual languages on my desk as reference. I'll look it up at some point. Similar thought, as far as Tolkien. He has ever, with caveats, been one of my icons.
*chuckles* I would not neccesarily suggest coming to New Mexico - it is the Land of Entrapment, after all... However, as I mentioned earlier, you are in my list of people to go seek out... and even better, you are not just on my list anymore.
