Stress in Sindarin is applied by the same Quenya-Latin rules. If you look at the Appendix, you'll see both Quenya and Sindarin words listed in the Stress section: periAnnath, ecthElion, pelArgir, silIvren, dEnethor alongside elentAri.

Disagree. Is there's anything ugly, there's the variant Orfank, as in some Russian translations. Hwyl, Pavel
