Hmm...
Well, as far as I'm aware, I've got the inferred "to be" in the right spot; I'm wondering should if "mell" (dear) should come before or after "le" (you), since it's kind of describing "you"...?
What do you think?

I don't think the position makes a difference, but check with Gwendeth.

I need a translation too, if you don't mind me asking. What's the Sindarin translation of "Dark woman"?

Are you meaning a name? Or a phrase?
If you are wanting a name, it would be something like Morwen, Moreth, Moriel, ect. If it's a phrase it would be "Bess vorn."

I meant a name. And thank you so much for helping me out!

Hey, no problem Marieke. And looking at the names, I'd probably go with Moreth for "dark woman" since Morwen is in existence practically everywhere and Moriel is technically "Dark daughter."

I'd like to ask something as well, please... Adjectives are supposed to agree in number with the noun they're describing - so if I wanted to use the plural form of an adjective in comparative or superlative, would I first form the plural of the adjective in positive and then add the prefix or the suffix or would I do it the other way round? For example with 'aglareb' (glorious), would the plural comparative form be 'an-eglerib' or 'en-eglerib'? (of course, it doesn't make any difference, with '-wain', I just realised : Le hannon

Awesome question! I'd have to check my sources to find out for sure which way it would be, but I'm half tempted to say you'd use the plural form; like attach the prefix or suffix to the sing. form of the word, then follow the rules for making plurals. That's how I'd do it, anyway. Like I said, I'll have to check to find out for sure one way or the other, and I'll get back to you.

Le hannon, Loey - I always assumed that was the right way to do it...it's just a crazy idea I had one night when I couldn't sleep ...
