Contribution “Orvincë” by Ollorin Máma (aka Clint)

I like this word! Opening a thread though to get opinions from other experts.

Thank you for such a thoughtful contribution! I quite like this word as well! I love the detailed description of your approach and your consideration for aesthetics and possible cognates.

Please consider linking relevant words and references. The easiest way is to achieve this is to wrap the words in brackets, like [[orva]] or [[q:orva]] if you want to restrict the suggestions to Quenya. This will be helpful to users who would like to look up the words they don't know or would like to know more about.

By the way, Erkenbard has pointed out to me that the reduction ai → i before clusters is supported by alda + inga → aldinga, you could add that as well if you want.

Another thing to consider, head tip to Luinyelle: The semantic space is partially occupied by TOL/NDOL- > tolma “protuberance contrived to serve a purpose, knob, short rounded handle”, tolmen “ boss (of shield)”, dolt “round knob, boss”. I think the word can still stand as is, but I wanted to mention that one could potentially write around it with attested words.

Hi Ollorin,

It appears unfortunately that some of the changes you made weren't correctly saved. As I investigated the root cause, I noticed an edge case (i.e. a bug) that unfortunately led to this outcome. The bug has been fixed and I really apologise for the inconvenience. I'll help out by polishing some of the linking on your behalf.

As for the other changes that we discussed, might I ask you to make the changes one more time?

Thank you for your patience,

aldaleon

Orvincë is in the dictionary! I just want to know how to pronounce it, if it's alright. Getting a pronounciation wrong is very very very bad, and, as personal experience tells, very embarrasing. Annon allen!
