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! ||| daniel -- <> Mad llamgalf! <> daniel.andreasson@telia.com <> <> Ond llam! <> www.geocities.com/conlangus <>
