Naming Sourdough Starter

I want to name by Starter correctly. I like the idea of calling her “ mother of bread,” giving me “Emel” and “Bast” but I’d like to conjunct it all into one word but I don’t see any entries referring to “mother of” in Sindarin. My best guess so far is to add the article in between the two and crunch it all together which yields, “Emelibast.” Not an awful name though it does sound a bit like one is trying to say “Emily Best.”

I am brand new and this so if someone could show me my errors in grammar/alphabet/anything I would be much obliged.

Emel and Bast would yield ‘Emelvast,’ there are about 140 rules to go through to form compounds.

• In Sindarin, a genitive relationship (implying ‘of’) is expressed by placing the related noun after the noun it modifies. For example, ‘aran Moria’ means ‘king of Moria,’ with ‘of’ being implicit in the Sindarin phrase. This is analogous to saying ‘Moria king’ in English, except that the order of the words in Sindarin is reversed. Here is the link on eldamo if your are interested in genitives eldamo.org

That’s great. Is there a single resource I can use to look through the compound rules?

The best source for Sindarin is Eldamo, starting with the basic grammar. I am still a beginner myself, and understanding the basics first will lead to comprehending what causes the mutations. I learn a little differently than others, so I also began by examining how the attested compounds were formed.

You can find the rules under 'Sindarin Phonetics,' but I must warn you, it can be confusing for beginners.
