Elven Language

EDAR
Of the Elven Peoples and their Tongue
"Undu ar alpelinor
Surinen tumboras ilyen
Inicaithe tironapen
Gayan arne hinatan-
Mearasilarin mealaste inumwe
O rilhelm an lairgetar an quessen silan olwe"
"Down the airy mountain
Through the rushy glen
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men-
Good folk bright folk trooping all together
With red cap, green coat and white owl feather"
Alfheim as it is called in the Common Tongue is a place at once ancient and separate from the other centres of government of the peoples of the realms of Mystara and yet at the same time still a living vibrant hub for administration and trade. So it is that first the gold seekers of Darokin and then more erudite and spiritual souls sought the wisdom of the Elves of Alfheim and their knowledge of the past.
When this attempt to learn the story of the past ages began, loremasters discovered many amazing things about the Elvish languages, not the least being the deep relationship between Elven tongues and the spoken syllables of magic. Only the Dragontongues, chief amongst them Old Wyrmish, have a longer history of use as incantations, and indeed the more romantic of the non-Elven students of the Elas-Cwenya see the whole of Elvish speech as more or less some form of magic.
It is clear from what the Elves have revealed to the non-Elf loremasters that at different times in their long lives and longer history the language spoken by different groups of Elven people has been used as a political weapon and a means of separating ideologies amongst their clans. To this day, the relatively tolerant and inclusive (by Elven standards) Alfheimers have adopted Common Speech syntax, whereas Callarii and Wendarian eschew anything that smacks of non-Elven culture.
The correct name in the Elves' own language for that speech is Sindariel-Cwenya, roughly translatable as "Jewel of the Tree of Life". Sindariel-Cwenya is often shortened to either Sinariel or Cwen, or in Common Speech dialects, Elven or Elfish. The speech of Alfheim is a form of true High Elven.
ALFHEIM GLOSSARY
High Elf Language to Common Speech
Common phrases encountered in the Tome of Sinariel Records:
Aengmor
- - "Ironblack" - no doubt this began as a description of their stygian realm, before later simply meaning "home" for the Shadow Elves.
Alevar
- - from Alcarivar or Alcarivalas, both meaning "Glorious, High" - clearly little more than a title, not a name. The name of the Second King of Alfheim will probably never be definitively known now.
Alfheim
- - a translation and transliteration from the Tengwar name for the Elf settlements within the Canolbarth forest. "Canolbarth" itself has several etymologies, the one favoured by the Alfheimers is "Protecting Hand" or "Hand Shield", either a reference to the acts of the founding heroes or a description of the powers and nature of the Trees of Life. As for Alfheim, it is clear enough that the ancient Nithian word Alwar, and its cognates Aelw and Alvo were used to describe the Elves of Alfheim. These words are not native to the languages they are found in and could well be nothing more than ancient Neathar attempts to pronounce the Elvish "Elas". "-Heim" in Common Speech is cognate to the -dor or -dar used by the Elf races and is itself originally of Elvish origin, as the title "heilmar" or "original home". The names used amongst Elves alone for the realm of 'Alfheim' are Elheimar, "Elfhome", Sindasienmar, "Sweet Realm of the Elves" or Andor, "Gateway Place". 'Andor' is taken to refer to Alfheim's position as a gateway for Elves and Men travelling the realms of the Known World (Erenthil's 'Leaves of the Tree: Alfenvolk' at p. 108).
Arpenril
- - The Red Arrow. This is an ancient title now forming the common name of an Elf Clan of Alfheim.
Celedryl ,
cel- away from, edryl - either a contraction of Eldarin, the ancestral Elven Immortals and Heroes, or from eledaryl - ele (elf) daryl (lands). The latter is more likely making the name "(He leads) Away from Elven Lands". Possibly a reference to the breaks under Celedryls reign between different Elven clans.
Chevall
- - a mysterious word, referring to some form of Elven centaur-like being found in the Canolbarth and now beyond. Keilnot Erenthil suggests in his 'Leaves of the Tree: Alfenvolk' (at pp. 113-114) that the Elven love of dissembling in writings means that Chevall simply means "tall folk", a reference to the height of these beings. Orumdas Wayclearer wrote in her treatise on the Folk of the Canolbarth "Oeirnelas" that the Chevall is a protector of horses, firstborn of the race that gave the Elves their peerless war-steeds. She makes "Chevall" a cognate of the older "Cehir-Vealasir" or "Weaponless Hero-Warriors" - shapeshifters who fought in the Elven cause against both Moorkroft and the Darokin at different times.
Den-Ar-Goth, Denagoth, Denargoth, Drenagodor
- - realm of the Shadow Lord, literally "Darkness and Despair" or "dark land of despair". It seems the original form may well have been Drenagodor, which lost its descriptive final syllable marking it as a land or physical place and instead became called after its dominant feature - the dark misery perpetrated by its ruler the Shadow Lord.
Doriath,
from Dor (land) i.e. (belonging to) and ath (contraction of athar) - "Exalted One belonging to the Land" - a fitting name for the king.
Elas
- - a word used for elves, by elves and non-elves. It is formed in almost a cheeky way by contracting the root words for Elf with that for leaf or pointy-eared, -las.
Erewan,
from ere- lonely and (c)wan, a contraction of Cwenya - means simply "The Lonely Elves".
Fenmoor, Feanmor
- - ancient Elvish name for Blackmoor. Ironically it is the "mor" or "moor" that means "black" or "dark" in Elvish speech. The name is said by the loremasters to refer to the scorched field that legend speaks of as the heart of Blackmoor's greatness. Such fragmentary entries in the lorebooks are confusing to say the least.
Grunalf:
here for once we see Common Speech loan-words returning to their Elvish forebear tongue. Grun is a late word for green or leafy, alf as has been noted is the common designation for an elf or "alf". The original Sinariel-Cwenya designation of this clan is Laigrenelas.
Rafiel,
from Ra/Re The Sun and Feal, Oath given, Lol, Oath broken. Hence - Oath to the Sun given then broken, a reference to the separate destiny of the darkness-dwellers. When the Shadow Elves occupied Alfheim, those who made a new compact were more able to stride in the sun and came to be known by friend and enemy alike as Rafelir, to distinguish them from the truly accursed and evil-minded Shadow Elves who made ready to destroy the forest, known as the Lolthir.
Taragin,
from Tar- ruler and the root Ag or Aeg meaning chilling, frosty or cold. Hence the Ruler of the Cold, a reference to an earlier era when Elves required two Clanmasters, one for the summer months of foraging and one for the harsher and more dangerous times of infertile winter. A famous Elf named Taragin was the pre-Rafielite Guardian of Alfheim, Taragin Oakbranch.
***
It is so typical of the graceful, canny and sophisticated Elf-races that their simplest and most common words and names can occupy so much effort and debate as to their provenance and meanings.
Some words in the glossary below are followed by a Common Speech translation and by a further word in a Cwenya tongue. This last word is a Low Elven or Common Elvish equivalent, used colloquially by people such as commonly encountered Elven adventurers or mercenaries. Words noted with a (root) entry are roots for verbal constructions or polysyllabic Elvish utterances. For instance the verb root alac, from alacir "rushing" can be used as 'dialacoras ealmornei ohtan' - 'the warrior rushes under the cover of the elm tree branches' or in set expressions such as 'quessenalcir' or 'quessenalque' - 'the rushing of wings'.

NUMBERS:

The numeral system is base ten for common trade and base twelve for priesthoods and wizards usually.
CALENDAR
All months when not described with their name are created by adding astan to the number: Erastan, Utastan, Histan ('a' dropped when a double vowel is caused), Lastan, Inastan, Mastan, Odastan, Ulastan, Lostan, Acastan, Testan, Mistan. Elves in contact with the other races often use the other races' names for the months.
SPELLBOOKS
Elven spellbooks frequently use poetical forms of all numeration, so that a simple entry in a human spellbook describing a third-level spell and its effects becomes a beautifully illuminated full-page song relating to the numerology and myths surrounding the spell. It is reasonably common for various cryptic usages to replace normal numbers - eplo 'after-9" for 10 for example. Additions are linked by 'cor' so for example 5 added to 6 is 'in-cor-ma-lin' or just 'incorma'.
