That's true. Although, they do end up very similar. Confer
these Cein and Sindarin words:
Cein: Sindarin: Quenya: English:
----------------------------------------
alch aglar alca glory
gwein bein vanya beautiful
llug lhûg looke dragon
anon annon andon gate
ew aew aiwe small bird
ffilit filig filit small bird
----------------------------------------
Not exactly the same as you can see. There are some
orthographical differences as well: {ll}, {ff}, etc.
Plus, the stress is on the final syllable in Cein.
The grammar will end up different too!
