I need a word - or phrase - that would be a completely unexpected and shockingly filthy expletive to be uttered by Erestor at a moment of extremely unpleasant (to him) revelation.
I know there has been a discussion about whether Elven curses would be scatalogical; and to be honest, I'd expect Erestor to let loose with something quite foul at this particular sight. Something a gently-bred Dúnedain matron (Gilraen) would most definitely not expect him to utter in her presence.
A few potential idea:
Orc-piss/shit
Fuck an orc
Yes. I want mild-mannered, up-tight, prudish Erestor to let loose with the one and only real "nasty" in the entire story - and it desperately needs to be in Sindarin.
Darth, are you bribe-able, and what is your reward of choice?

Darth, are you bribe-able, and what is your reward of choice? Question: how soon do you need this? Because (believe it or not), I am actually working on a random Sindarin swear word generator, which works in the same way as the name generator. But generates random obscenities at the click of a button. Because, truly, this is what the internet is for. Instantaneous curses in made up languages. Off the top of my head right now, though, I could tell you that 'orc poo' would be orchorn, and '(male) person who copulates with an orc' would be orchuithor. |

I've been having so much fun with that random name generator it should be illegal. I know I'm going to end up with pages and pages and then my computer will crash and I'll lose them all. *bites nails*
I'm looking forward to this swear word generator. One can never have too many Elvish swear words.

WOOHOO - Does Monkey Dance and caresses computer screen lovingly . . . Cannot wait for that baby to come online - you truly are a magnificent creature Darth. I'm like Igg . . . I'm already addicted to the name generator - I've spent hours playing with that thing (it's addictive) - and I'm sure the curse one will be even more so! ;D HOT DAMN!

Question: how soon do you need this? Not immediately - I seem to be posting In The House of Elrond at the rate of about a chapter a month, have only posted up to Chapter 2 to date, and this will be for chapter 6; so I estimate a minimum of three months until it will be a case of desperation. OOOOoooooooo!!! I can think of several people who'll be lined up and waiting for that one - myself included! Coolness! *kisses you on cheek* Those will work quite well - and actually are exactly what I was thinking! Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! ;D |

She's the one with the useful php coding skills. And she wrote the random function, because I don't know how to do anything awesome like that. |

What is behind the difference in suffixes from the insult, nachuithron (lover of one's own mother) you gave me for Princeling? Or is this either/or?

What is behind the difference in suffixes from the insult, nachuithron (lover of one's own mother) you gave me for Princeling? Or is this either/or? It's an either/or. You'll see examples of both -or and -ron affixed to verbs to make the form 'verb-er'. For the attested example 'thrower', you see both hador and hadron. I usually just go by whatever sounds better for the specific case I need, because there doesn't seem to be much distinction. (Though -or seems used more frequently in i-stem verbs, and -ron may be better for a-stems.) |
