Parma Eldalamberon 17 – Sindarin Corpus
Introduction The aim of this document is to give a synthetic view of the Sindarin corpus in Parma Eldalamberon 17 (PE17). It was not designed to substitute itself to PE17. This document must be read together with PE17.

Additional limitation of scope: Sindarin, as one of the languages invented by J.R.R. Tolkien, is his artistic and intellectual property. The editor does not claim any intellectual property on the Sindarin language itself and, as a whole, on this lexicon, beyond the editorial annotations, the arrangement of entries and the interpretations appended to these entries. The above-mentioned license applies to such elements only. J.R.R. Tolkien’s texts and books are copyrighted by the Tolkien Estate and/or Tolkien’s publishers. As of yet, this material is not approved by the Tolkien Estate or Tolkien’s publishers, and is henceforth an unauthorized Sindarin lexicon. This material is however provided under the editor's assumption that compiling, arranging, analyzing, standardizing and annotating entries in order to produce a lexicon for a language, even if it is an invented one, does not violate the copyright of the inventor. Shall any third party include this material in a derived work, under the above-mentioned license or under any other applicable license, the editor will not be liable for possible infringement of copyright on the derived work. Every derived use of this material is left under the sole responsability of the third party. Notwithstanding, this material is neither a verbatim reproduction of information from Tolkien’s published works, nor a simple rearrangement of such information in a different order. Many entries are deduced from indirect evidences (such as compounds, inflected forms, etc.). As a consequence, some deductions might actually prove incorrect or inaccurate when new information is published.

WOR : the word presented in the entry. It is crossed out when rejected by Tolkien. ORD : the entry order, according to the function (1, 2, 3 etc.) and the sense of the word (1a, 1b, etc.). STA : the standardization applied to the entry in order to achieve some consistency. ETY : the etymology. Note : some words in different pages can have the same etymology and (nearly) the same glose. In those cases, words were merged into one entry. A different etymology for the same word (with same function and/or glose) was considered as a separate entry. FUN : the function of the word. The function can be followed by the lexical field of the word, e.g. Poet., Astron., Bot. etc. GLO : the glose. NOT : notes or observations, from J.R.R. Tolkien or from other sources. REF : the bibliographical reference.
