Hi everyone. I wonder if someone can help me with this: I need to say 'people's justice' or 'justice of the people' in Sindarin.
Thanks!!

Hi everyone. I wonder if someone can help me with this: I need to say 'people's justice' or 'justice of the people' in Sindarin. Hi alphaori, The word for "judgement" or "sentence" is baudh. I'm not sure there's one for "justice". So baudh Edain would be "judgement of Men" or ("i vaudh Edain" would be "the judgement of Men"). If it's a different type of people (i.e. not Men, but perhaps Dwarves, Sindar, elves of Doriath, hobbits, Men of Rohan, etc. ), you will need to use the appropriate class plural. But... what's wrong with using the English words?  |

Surely you jest. I know a few words, but the one thing I know about Sindarin is to always ask Darth.

I still think you're better off with the relevant class plural, "gwaith" to me doesn't sound right. But my Sindarin is basic at best. If I were you I'd ask Darth, as Randy suggests. I only popped into your thread because he's not about very often. |
