Sindarin Plurals.
Instead of adding s to words to make them plural,Sindarin changes the vowels within the word. The final syllable of the word changes differently from all other syllables. The changes are as follows:
All Syllables Except the Last One.
a becomes e
e remains e
i remains i
o becomes e
u becomes y
ae, ai, ei and ui remain the same.
au becomes oe
Last Syllable
a becomes ai
ar becomes er
ang becomes eng
alph becomes eilph
e becomes i (keep any accents above the letter)
ie becomes i
i remains i
o becomes y (keep any accents above the letter)
io becomes y
u becomes y
ú becomes ui
y remains y
ae, ai, ei and ui remain the same.
au becomes oe
