Could someone help me checking a name I got from the Sindarin Name Generator? The question concerns mutation rules rather than the name proper, so I've put into this forum and hope that's okay.
Minathlir (tower-song) is what the generator gives me from minass- and -glir, and while I know that thl is phonetically possible in Sindarin, I've usually found it in what I understand are sindarinized constructs (Hísilómë -> Hithlum) or as the result of a soft mutation of unvoiced liquids (sl -> thl or lh -> thl), and I'm not sure my attempt to understand the situation works.
If this is a result of
1.) -glir + soft mutation = 'lir
2.) minass + - 'lir = minasslir + soft mutation = minathlir?
Is it even possible to have more than one mutation occur in a single compound? Sindarin mutation rules give me a headache.
