Sindarin is almost certainly impossible in the present state of published
materials.

I like this.  There is certainly no reason not to decline Unicode
(as opposed to rejecting it!); Lithuanian inevitably does so.

My father used to say that a certain judge in Philadelphia, when admitting
lawyers to the Pennsylvania bar, would command them to "decline 'amo'".
If you explained that "amo" was a verb, and that verbs were conjugated,
not declined, then all was well.

Excellent!  Anyone else feel like tackling a substantial bit of prose
for a good cause?
