Developing my Elvish skills

         HOLA! Last night, I got the entire LOTR trilogy on DVD. YAY! I watched The Fellowship of the Ring (The first movie) first. I can't watch the other two until I finish them. Poos.
        So, today I was on the Arwen Undomiel website. They are amazing in the Elvish category. I've learned some very useful phrases in Sindarin. Here are two:

                       
                              Labo vi Orodruin (Lah-boe vee Ore-oh-DROO-inn)
                                             Translation: Go jump in Mount Doom

          Burn! (Pun intended) Here's the next one:

                     
                                      Hu nin mant han (Hoo neen mahnt hahn)
                                                  Translation: My dog ate it

           I'm going to have to use that one. Especially considering I'm cyberschooled. xD Here's the page I found these on:

                                     http://arwen-undomiel.com/elvish/phrases.html

             I also found my name in elvish which was interesting. Basically, they took the meaning of specific names and translated that into Sindarin and then formed it into a name. These names aren't actual examples of Tolkien's work, but are neat, nonetheless.

                    
                                                   Ercassiel (Air-kahs-see-ell)
        
                    My name looks pretty awesome. I might have to change my banner, eh? xD

                Now, I thought I'd add my human's name, because hers was pretty awesome, too.

                                
                                                    Lithoniel (Lee-thone-ee-ell)

                   That is Ashley. I really like it. I have no idea why. Anyway, they translated over 1,100 names into Elvish, so I'm sure yours might be in there somewhere. I'll give you the link to the girls' list (because I assume you are a lady).

                    I hope you enjoy those links, and learn a bit of elvish. Freak out your friends, trick your teachers, sound awesome. I'm telling you; it's going to be the language to learn. xD
