fallingstar7669 answered your question: Iâve made a decision.
Welcome to what I was telling you five years ago, darling. But hey, Iâm just glad youâre getting around to it. Stay confident; I had faith in you then, and I still have faith in you now. :)
Oh... I... don't remember what you told me 5 years ago... that was 5 years ago ^^" I barely remember anything from 5 days ago ^^"

Iâm not asexual, but I would imagine if youâre having trouble portraying a character trait, try framing it with something seemingly contradictory. For example, a porn fanatic. Or someone whoâs a zen master at masturbation. Or, maybe a connoisseur of erotic art. Unfortunately, someone who isnât interested in sex is, logically, going to be celibate; but that does not mean they need to encourage celibacy in others, or dismiss the idea of sex entirely. Hope that helps!
It does a bit, but also doesn't? Like, again, it still falls under the same issue of the celibacy thing. Like, asexual people seem to be like "We're not celibate, we just don't care for sex" which is fine... but depicting them having sex is still going to lead to "I thought they were asexual?! We were lied to?!" and I just don't know how to handle that.
The nasal-infixed form of KHAT would be *hanta- leading to *hantalë for "flinging," but there's a conflict there with hanta- "to thank." I think your workarounds were the way to go! Love reading this blog, keep it up! :)
Thank you so much for your correction and your support! :)
Would you mind explaining in more detail how nasal infliction usually works in Quenya, or give me a source I can look up? I wasnât able to find any proper info during my research for this request and Iâm really intrigued. :)
Aiya ata! Got another problem for you; this time literally. The word "problem" (or "obstacle") is terribly useful but not glossed in any of my Quenya wordlists (I use the stuff found at the Ardalambion index), or anywhere close to it. After a few hours of pondering, and the Wiktionary etymology of "problem", I came up with "opohetië" - opo "before" + het "to fling" + -ië (abstract noun suffix). Mana sanwelyar?
Hi again! :)
I really like the idea of âbefore + to flingâ to follow the wordâs etymology.Â
To my knowledge, the Quenya verb for to fling is hat- (root KHAT). Iâd prefer not to use -iĂ«Â because I understand itâs mostly used to derive abstract nouns from adjectives. Instead, Iâd suggest using -lĂ«, which âis typically used to derive verbal nounsâ (x). Fauskanger says that:
In the case of basic stems ending in a consonant, the ending -lë may be added to a nasal-infixed form of them. (x)
Iâm uncertain what Fauskanger means by ânasal-infixed form,â but I believe that this would mean tl > lt in this case, thus opohaltĂ«. Â
I also like to create new words by paraphrasing. For example:
âNo fortuneâ: Ășheren, Ășmanar, ĂșmandĂ«
âDifficult thingâ: urengwĂ«, urunat, hrainat, uruma, hraimaÂ
heren fortune
manar doom, final end, fate, fortune, final bliss
mandë doom, final end, fate, fortune, final bliss
ma something, a thing, anything
nat thing
engwë thing
ur(u)- hard, difficult
hrai- hard, *difficult
Ăș-Â no, not, un-, in-; hard, difficult, bad, uneasy

Aiya! I was wondering if you had seen this translation before, or if I could get your opinion on it: 'onotil' for the modern equivalent of 'computer'. This would be the verb onot, "to count up", which surprisingly mirrors the same form as the Latin derivation of "computer": com- (together) and putare (to reckon), versus Quenya o- (together) and not (to reckon). The only thing needed was to add the impersonal agental suffix -il, equivalent to English -er. What do you think? Love your tumblr! :)
Aiya meldonya!
Thank you so much for your nice words! :)
Iâve never encountered the word onotil before, but I do think itâs a nice way to translate computer into Quenya since the -il suffix is attested in similar constructions with verbs:
Siril rivulet from sir- to flow
Sicil dagger, knife from SIK- (probably a verb root meaning to cut or something similar)
Tecil pen from TEK- to write
Another interesting alternative (found here) isÂ
nonwa "computer" (lit. âimplement for reckoningâ); derived from the stem NOT by adding ending -ma; CE *notmĂą becomes nonwa in Q

I could just link to where they are...hadn't thought of that.
