Yay for reading LotR, knowing nothing about langs and inventing
Andraimaeukir or a similar conlang!  And then learning.

Eviendadhail uses different persons to distinguish between definite
and indefinite nouns.  Thinking about it now, it seems a strange
system, because only subjects can have articleness(?), but it evolved
(in reality, not in its conhistory) from two persons to distinguish
between absent and present third parties (and this is a very long
sentence).

i.e.
Celan elith.
Dog   be.3rdpers.indef
A dog is.              (I have a SMALL lexicon)

Celan elidh.
Dog   be.3rdpers.def
The dog is.

It is late, and I'm not thinking, so, goodnight.

Happy third milennium of the Common Era!  Think annyone on this list
will see the fourth?
