Let's guess!



How many PE issues or years will be taken until every meaningful linguistic material by Tolkien is available?

Then, how far could we go to the complete Q and S so to speak?

There can still be other major elvish texts to be released?



Honestly I, just a beginner, have no idea and want to hear from you gelydh:)

I bet on 40 Parmar (and, we hope, a couple of dozen more Vinyar).

Quenya grammar is pretty much complete already now, hence my endeavour to write a primer.
What I keep dreaming of is a major piece of text in Q or S, I don't know, 3 pages from Silmarillion translated or something ☺️. And, more Sindarin grammar

+Tamas Ferencz No, please! If we get a Sindarin text, it will feature 90% of words and formes used never again and contradict all grammatical texts!

On the other hand it would keep us busy for the next ten years...

Young P Mar 22, 2017 (11:02)

+Александр Запрягаев PE 40 or 40 more issues? Either way I may not be alive then XD

Young P Mar 22, 2017 (11:26)

+Tamas Ferencz Real prose in Q with such length...I dream that too!

Paul Strack Mar 22, 2017 (15:04)

We know there is at least one major unpublished Noldorin grammar and one unpublished discussion of Noldorin phonetics from the 1930s or 1940s, though these could be a single document.

Not to mention the documents on Taliska and Weston.

+Александр Запрягаев that's what I fear as well ;)
