www.learn.to/quote Then someone would know, which message you are
answering to :-)

The reason, why tolkien's elvisch can't be TirT-elvisch is simple:
Tolkien was a mortal human. The language ist more than 5.000 years older
than he. "His" elvisch is an invention. And Tolkien's description of
elves is the reason, why many Elves from 2050+ don't like his stories
:-). I never talked about FASA, I just mentioned IN-PLAY reasons, that's
a difference.
