Some years ago I compiled a list of words in the North Sindarin dialect, I thought to publish it here, feel free to correct any mistakes or add to the list. (I wish communities could have a Files section or a Wiki page to collect info like this). The common Sindarin form is given in brackets.

I'm not an expert, but I think it's a quite nice effort.
By the way, did you know about Roman Rausch's artcle on the subject?
