Arvyndase (Silverspeech): The Language of the Silver Elves

Chapter 1

1. Tae (the)

This is intended as a short course in the elfin language Arvyndase (literally SilverSpeech, pronounced Air – vin – dah – see, the language of the Silver Elves). It will use word substitutions to teach one to read the language.

The first word we will explore is the article Tae, which is the Arvyndase word for "the". From now forward, tae will be substituted for the word “the” for tae rest of this course. Tae is pronounced tay, rhymes with say.

Arvyndase is a very vowel oriented language. Vowels are almost always pronounced independently of each other. An exception to this is tae “ae” at tae end of a word. Arvyndase has three forms of tae vowel “a”. Written as an “a”, it is a long a, that is it sounds like the name of tae vowel when spoken, as in tae word, say, play, bay, etc. An “a” with a dot over it, sounds like tae “a” in ah, dah, bah, etc. An “a” with two dots, side by side over it, is pronounced like tae “a” in at, bat, fat, etc. However, an “a” at tae end of a word without a dot is always pronounced as tae singled dotted a, that is as in ah, pa, ma, and so forth.

On tae other hand, an “a” followed by an “e” at tae end of a word is pronounced as a long, or undotted “a”. If an ae is found anywhere else in tae word, the vowels are pronounced separately.

It should be noted as well that an “a” after tae letter “c”, even without a dot over the letter “a”, is always pronounced as a single dotted “a”, thus it sounds like cah, while an “a” after a “k” is nearly always a long “a”, thus kay, unless otherwise noted.

2. Na (a and an)

Tae English language has two definite articles “a” and “an” that are represented in Arvyndase by “na” (pronounced nah). In English, “a” is used before a word that begins with a consonant and “an” is used before words that begin with a vowel. There are a few minor exceptions to this rule, tae rule really being that “a” is used before words that have the sound of consonants and “an” is used before words that sound like vowels. These exceptions occur so seldom that they usually go unconsidered. From now forth, we will use tae Arvyndase word na in place of “a” and “an”.

Zardoa Silverstar Love of tae Silver Elves created Arvyndase over na ten-year period in tae 1990’s. He created tae language both for tae fun of it, and also because, while he very much liked Tolkien’s elfin languages of Sindarin and Quendi, they didn’t contain enough words to satisfy his need for using them in his magic. Currently, Arvyndase contains over 31,000 word entries, although that often includes word suffixes and prefixes. Therefore tae Arvyndase dictionary will contain tae words for create, creation, and created, etc. He did this by going through na 800 page paperback dictionary of English and creating Arvyn words on three by five cards that he kept in cross referenced metal file boxes: Arvyndase to English and English to Arvyndase. Eventually, when he had completed tae bulk of tae language, he entered it into na Excel spread sheet that can very quickly go from Arvyndase to English or English to Arvyn.

3. Nar (and)

Tae conjunction “and” is used in tae English language to connect nouns, verbs and parts of sentences. Tae Arvyndase word for “and” is “nar” (pronounced nair, rhymes with fair) and will be used henceforth in this course. Like in English, “nar” can be used to connect nouns, such as: na elf, na dwarf, nar na pixie. Or verbs, as in: she both ran nar walked to the store. Or clauses, such as: tae elf went to tae store, nar to tae post office.

As we explained previously, Zardoa created Arvyndase just for tae fun of it, tae challenge of such na extensive project, nar to have na magical language that we could use with our spell work. Although, he created it primarily in tae1990’s, he had first attempted to create na elfin language in tae mid-1970’s, however, tae sheer immensity of creating that many words overwhelmed him nar his elf sister nar assistant on tae language at that time, Morning Moonstar, that they abandoned tae project before they got halfway through the “a’s”. It wasn’t until tae 1990’s that he felt ready to take on tae project again, nar this time committed hims’elf to completing it, this time with assistance nar encouragement from his soul/spirit mate, Silver Flame.

4. Sa (or)

Or is used in English as na function word, or conjunction that offers na alternative between nouns, verbs, or parts of speech: do you want ham or chicken, would you like to walk or take tae car, etc. Sa (pronounced sah) is tae Arvyndase word for “or” nar will be substituted henceforth in this course.

When we say that Zardoa created Arvyndase, we are equally satisfied nar open to tae idea that he remembered, nar/sa channeled it. So much of tae elfin culture has been lost sa erased through tae course of time nar tae influx of dominant sa more dominating cultures that most of our culture comes from fiction nar Fairy Tales, many of which are pure nonsense. So we have only our own feelings, sa our own instincts, nar perhaps what Jung would call our Collective Elfin Unconscious to guide us about what is true sa false, although this might also be what is true for some of us, but false for others. Thus tae more one awakens to their elfin nature, tae more one must rely upon their inner sense of what is true for them, as na individual, nar true for elves overall.

5. Kana (but)

Tae Arvyndase word for “but” is kana (pronounced kay – nah).

Because most of modern Elfae (elf and faerie kind) were not raised among those who knew themselves to be elves, we must use, as explained previously, our instincts nar feelings to decipher what it means to be na elf; kana that should not be taken as na sign that we elves are na illogical people. In fact, in most cases, we are probably tae most reasonable nar logical folk on tae planet. We are na deeply feeling people, nar na extremely logical folk, kana we do tend to be far less emotional than most people. We elves make na distinction between feelings nar emotion, unlike tae majority of people who seem to think they are tae same thing. Feeling being na deep inner sense of being, emotion to us is, on the contrary, feeling aroused nar/sa affected by thoughts nar ideas.

Thus, while we use our feelings to guide us to what is true about being elfin, we also use our logical abilities to “separate tae wheat from tae chaff”. This is particularly important since most of us have been raised in normal society, nar by individuals who were normal, sa endeavoring very hard to appear so.

6. Practice: tae (the), na (a and an), nar (and), sa (or), kana (but).
Silver Flame suggested that we give tae reader na chance to practice tae words given so far about every fifth lessons sa so in the beginning, therefore here are na few elf sayings with which to practice.

It is said that one nar one equals two, kana tae elves say one nar one can equal three, sa four, sa even more depending on how fertile tae first ones are.
If we could we, elves would run naked through tae streets (nar na few pixies do), kana we love to dress up too much to do so.

When people ask us to make either-sa decisions, we elves often asked, “Kana why can’t we have both?”

Tae Way to Elfin is easy to find for those with na kind heart nar na open mind. These need look no farther than their mirror, kana those with closed minds will not find Elfin, nar those with unkind hearts will wish they hadn’t.

Tae elves are of tae opinion that in kana na few cases, tae path one chooses is tae right choice for them at tae time, nar tae place one winds up is kana na way station on na never ending journey. For life is na peregrination of learning nar awakening, nar tae goal is not to end up some place, kana to never cease exploring on tae Road of Becoming.

7. Da (is/are), Dain (was/were)

Tae Arvyndase word for “ is” is “da” (pronounced dah). It da also tae word for “are”. So we would say both he da going to tae store, nar they da going to tae store. The past tense of “da” da formed by adding “-in”, which da tae Arvyndase equivalent of tae English “-ed”. This da pronounced dah – in, nar tae “ i” in “-in” da pronounced as though it had two dots over it, although that da assumed nar not written as tae “a” at tae end of Arvyndase words act as though they have na dot over them, although none da shown.

So “dain” (was nar were) da like saying “is-ed” (was) sa “are-d” (were) in English, which makes no sense in that language, kana makes perfect sense in Arvyndase. In English, however, you have words like depart nar departed, sa turn nar turned, sort nar sorted. This “ in” da also used as tae “ed” in words like wood nar wooded, beard nar bearded, near nar neared, nar can be added to nearly any Arvyndase word to create past tense.

We know, this da na complicated lesson, nar some may wish to reread it several times, however, it really demonstrates that in many ways, Arvyndase da na simpler language to learn nar use.

8. Ter (it) Ter’na (its)

Tae Arvyndase word for “ it” da ter (pronounced tier or tear, as in cry). Ter da na third person singular pronoun. Ter should be noted that some languages, for instance Japanese, do not have na word for “ it”. Arvyndase, being channeled, sa created, sa remembered by na English speaker resembles English in syntax (tae arrangement of words in tae sentence), parts of speech, etc., kana ter could also be translated into other languages sa used by non-English speakers, in which case ter would take on tae syntax nar sentence formation of that language. So too, in English one says, tae red house, nar in other languages one say tae house red, na Arvyndase speaker would arrange tae language in tae form for different elves according to their native tongue.

One might think that this would create problems for Arvyndase speakers from different language backgrounds, kana such na challenge should be easy for elves to overcome since we da like two people who da madly in love kana don’t speak tae same language. We find ways to make ours’elves understood. Its (ter’na sa ter-na (pronounced tier - nah)) simply na matter of our intense desire to unite.

You will note that tae suffix ‘” ’na” sa “–na” added to any word in Arvyndase creates what in English would be tae possessive “ ’s”, as in John’s house, Linda’s shoe sa love’s sweet tears, etc. Tae English “it’s” (it is) would be “ter da” in Arvyndase nar has no contraction.

9. Ver (in)

Tae English preposition “in” will be replaced by tae Arvyndase word “ver” (pronounced veer) henceforth. Kana, ter should be noted that ter da not tae same word used ver Arvyndase as a prefix when one says, for instance, something da “inexpressible” sa “inadequate”. We will get to that form of “in” ver tae future.

Ver tae course of time, with na basic grasp of tae articles, prepositions, nar other common parts of speech, as well as na grasp of tae prefixes nar suffixes, nar na basic Arvyndase dictionary, you will be na very proficient writer, reader, nar speaker of this language.

People often ask us, on hearing that we’ve created, nar/sa remembered, nar/sa channeled this elfin language, if we speak ter ours’elves, nar alas, we do not. Kana, as we proceed ver creating this course we, too, da becoming more nar more adept ver its usage.

10. Va (to)

Tae preposition “to” in Arvyndase da expressed by tae word “va” (pronounced vah), which will replace “to” henceforth ver this course. Ter da said that one’s language deeply affects tae way one views tae world nar tae Universe. So ter da that as one learns nar uses Arvyndase, one moves ever deeper into Elfin. This occurs due va tae fact that Elfin springs forth not so much from na outer dimension, as from na inner one. Tae more one surrounds thems’elves with Elfin/Faerie, nar lives their life as, na elf, tae more elfin they become nar tae more Elfin, tae dimensional vibration that da Faerie, surrounds them, radiates from them, nar leads them ever deeper va their true nature, which da elfin.

Some might think Elfin exists without elf sa faery kind, kana when have you ever read na story where tae characters went va na wild place nar thought ter da Faerie without elves sa faeries appearing? Elfin/Faerie stems from tae being of elfin/faerie folk. Ter da not Faerie that creates elves, kana elves that create Faerie. Still, there da no question that Faerie exists ver potential, awaiting tae elves and fair folk va bring ter va life.

11. an (from), ter’na (its)

Tae Arvyndase word for “from” da “an” (pronounced ain, as in train, pain, main, etc. rhymes with sane, Dane, mane, crane, nar so forth). We realize that this can be na bit confusing since “an” da spelled tae same as tae English article “an”, kana ter’na use ver tae sentence will help distinguish ter an ter’na English Homograph.

Once again, we know we da giving you na lot va deal with ver this lesson, nar ter might take several readings for some students, such as these elves, va grasp. We suggest that, if you have not already, you create na file, sa na notepad, containing tae words we’ve covered thus far for easy reference as you proceed.

Some might ask if these elves really expect this created language va be used by elves ver tae future, nar tae answer da, yes we do. Not necessarily as na language of communication among people so much as na language of magic. An ancient times ter has been held that language used ver magical ceremonies da more effective if ter da na expression of feeling more than ideas, what tae Elf Queen’s Daughters referred va as “thought emotes”. Ter should also be pointed out that tae earliest language, an tae most ancient of times da often called Sensor va describe ter’na emotive nature. Magical languages spoken ver ritual don’t have va make sense as ideas so much as be na true expression of tae feeling of tae magician connected va nar empowering tae images sHe projects with hir magic.

12. U (of)

Tae word “u” (pronounced you) ver Arvyndase stands for tae English “of”.

We should probably note at this point that Arvyndase da na very melodious language nar has few harsh sounds ver ter. If, when pronouncing tae words, they sound rough va you, then endeavor va draw out tae words as you say them. U course, ter would be best if you could hear us pronouncing tae words, nar we hope at some time va create na video with that purpose ver mind.

Ter should be remembered that tae elves da na people u harmony, nar u poetry. We da tae people u tae gentle breeze nar tae whispered words u love. Kana, ter da also true that we can be the people u tae fierce winds shaking tae trees nar warning one u powerful magics ver tae making.

13. Practice 2

One u tae things we find helpful da va read ver English (sa whatever language you use) nar translate into Arvyndase as we read along. We also find ter helpful sometimes va read these lessons nar translate tae Arvyndase parts into English as we read along. Whatever works for you da best.

As elves use Arvyndase, we expect they will adapt ter va their own needs, adding words that might be absent an tae dictionary, nar adjusting tae language ver tae way that works best for them. This da va be expect. Na language that does not change da not na living language.
We da giving birth va this language, kana ter da others who will carry on ter’na life. If large numbers u elves took up tae language, ter would develop dialects, nar ver time separate into several languages. That da va be expected. There da no right way sa wrong way va use this language. No experts va say what da right sa wrong. However, if you wish va communicate with others, you will have va agree on certain accepted usages among you for clarity. So ter da, so ter shall be. Our love nar blessings da ever with you.

14. Te (be) Tedas (being – verb nar noun)

Tae Arvyndase word for tae English verb “be” da “te” (pronounced tea).

Learning va use this language da as easy as ter da va te na elf. One simply has va persist ver tedas (pronounced tea – dace (rhymes with mace)) nar acting as na elf, every day ver every way va te na elf, nar one simply has va persist ver following this course va speak nar write Arvyndase. (Note: tae suffix “das” added va nearly any noun or verb ver Arvyndase functions like tae English “ing”.)

U course, not everyone wishes va te na elf, anymore than everyone wishes va learn this language. Kana, for those who do tae way da open nar easy nar there da nearly always elves nar others va help you on tae way, either on tae physical plane sa tae planes where tae spirits abide, which da also tae physical plane kana ver na much more subtle form.

While we can understand that those who da not elves do not wish va te elves. Tedas elves for us da tae most wondrous thing. We love tedas elves. Ter gives us great joy nar pleasure, nar da tae source u our delight nar our magic. Ver some ways we wonder how anyone could not wish va te na elf, nar yet, ver our minds if na person da who nar what they da truly meant va te, than while they may not te elves, they da elfin enough for us. For tedas one’s own s’elf, ver tae elfin mind, da va te na elf, after na fashion, va us.

15. Vek (can – verb) Tein (been)

Tae English auxiliary verb “can” da translated into Arvyndase as “vek” (pronounced veek, rhymes with seek). (Note: tae noun for “can” as ver tin can, da na different word.)
Da we having fun yet? This dain tae first thing our daughter, Elantari, ever read on her own.

We had tein (pronounced tea – in) (note tae addition u tae suffix “in” va tae verb te (be) va create “been”, although tae literal translation would te “be-ed) home-schooling her, nar on na trip va Berkeley, Ca. she looked up at na billboard nar read out “Da we having fun yet?”
So our question va you da, Da you having fun yet? If not, relax. Tae key va learning Arvyndase da not so much intense effort, kana relaxed practice. Enjoy your studies, nar keep reading tae lessons, nar ter will get easier nar easier. Vek this te so? U course, ter vek.
Time nar consistent practice da tae key va learning all things. That nar enjoyment. Remember tae ancient elven saying, “If you da not having fun, you da not learning anything”. Ter da only though joy that we truly learn. Pain (not va te confused with effort) makes us avoid things. Joy unites us with our learning nar da probably tae greatest lesson teachers vek learn. Vek this te true? We assure you ter da. Ter has tein demonstrated over nar over again. So relax nar enjoy tae ride, this vek te great fun.

16. Yon (will – verb nar noun)

Tae Arvyndase word for tae English word “will”, both as na noun nar na auxiliary verb, da “yon” (pronounced yone, rhymes with lone). (Note: while you could use yon for tae noun “will”, as ver last yon nar testament, there da na separate Arvyndase noun “desutra” (pronounced dee- sue – trah) for that particular concept, kana we yon not expect you va remember that word.)

Yon da na very important part u magic. Whether ter da used consciously sa unconsciously, as ter da sometimes, perhaps oft-times da, yon helps direct nar empower tae magic. This yon te clear va all true magicians, particularly elfin magicians. Tae idea u magic, ver’na purpose, da va bring about our yon. Nar for elves that yon da directed nar empowered by our vision. Tae elfin vision da ever inclusive u na world where all may live nar love together ver harmony, where each finds fulfillment, nar every individual yon te respected nar taken care u, by all their others. Does this sound idealistic? We elves da na idealistic people. Kana while this ideal may seem fanciful va some, ter da not na impossible dream, nar ter should te remembered that we elves nar faery folk da noted for our ability, our quite magical ability, va make dreams nar wishes come true. We wish va live ver na perfect world, which for us da na elfin world, nar we yon bring ter about through our yon, our actions, our intent … our very lives. Elfin da not just na dream kana na world we yon create for all our kind nar all who yon va te among us.

17. Tat (as)

Tae English word “as” da translated into tae Arvyndase language as “tat” (pronounced tate, rhymes with fate). Tat you must realize by now, we yon substitute “tat” for “as” tat we proceed ver these lessons.

This da not tae only form u na Elfin language ver existence. There da Tolkien’s Sindarin nar Quendi, nar you yon find numerous sites on tae internet that have lists u Elven words. There da no problem, tat far tat these elves da concerned with interposing words an these other elfin languages with this one. U course, one would need va do this with others who share one’s knowledge u those words sa language. Nar, there would te no difficulty, again tat far tat these elves da concerned, with mixing several languages together, again with tae practical proviso that all tae communicators share access va all tae dictionaries involved. Just tat English incorporates words an (from) Middle English nar ter’na ancestors, French through tae Norman invaders, Latin an tae Romans, Greek, primarily an tae scientific community, nar these days, also words an Japanese (such tat sushi), nar other languages.

This could cause some confusion if there da words that da spelled tae same from different languages, kana that da also tae case ver English, nar we expect that some form u notation yon te created that yon signify words an different languages. Although, most often such conflicts da overcome by tae position (thus meaning) u tae word ver tae sentence.

18. La (by) Nolorda (by the way)

Tae Arvyndase word for tae English word “by” da “la” (pronounced lah).

Tat we dain saying ver tae previous lesson, this language da meant va te adapted la ter’na users. U course, tat we pointed out, ter da important for those who use ter together va agree on any changes, additions, sa modifications they make. This da not necessarily tae case for ceremonial magicians who may, here nar there, find ter necessary va add na word sa two, tat required for their workings. Still, this da na language with thousands u words, nar we expect few additions va te needed ver most cases. Ver other words, if you don’t find tae word you need ver our dictionary, make one up, channel ter, sa remember ter, tat we did.

La tae way, there da actually na Arvyndase word that means “by the way” , ter da “nolorda” (pronounced no – lore – dah), kana ter da perfectly acceptable va use tae individual Arvyndase words tat we did at tae beginning u this paragraph. Tat you vek see, we da na easy people va please. Easy-going nar, ver many ways, just plain easy.

19. ton (on) gos (on)

There da two Arvyndase words for tae English word “on”. Tae first da “ton” (pronounced tone) that da used ver tae sense u “let’s get ton tae train” nar bears tae idea of tedas “on” top u something. Tae other Arvyndase word for “on” da “gos” (pronounced go-ss, sound like ghost sa toast without tae “t”) nar ter da used va designate “on” ver tae sense of movement sa going forward, such tat “Let’s get gos down tae road” “let’s get gos that project nar get ter done”. We realize this da na bit confusing nar if you should use one word ver tae place u tae other, ter da no big deal.

Nolorda, we realize ter vek te difficult va decide which “on” va use, gos sa ton. Kana, generally speaking, if something da not physically sa metaphorically ton something, gos da tae appropriate word. Tat ver, “’Let’s get gos with ter”. Any sentence that signifies, movement, sa usage, yon te “gos”. Ton tae other hand, “ton” da appropriate ver, “Put ter ton tae table”. Kana da ter, “Call me gos tae phone” sa “Call me ton tae phone”? Either works for us. Here da some more examples: “An [from] now gos”, “Come ton Tuesday”, “They just talk gos nar gos”, “What da they going gos about?”, nar so gos. Use your best judgment nar we da sure you yon get gos fine with this lesson. Next time, gos va other words.

20. rep (up) repton (upon)

Tae Arvyndase word for “up” da “rep” (pronounced reap”. Note that tae word for “upon”, tat ter da ver English da composed la combining “rep” (up) nar “ton” (on) thus, repton (upon, pronounced reap-tone).

Once repton na time, tat nearly every faery tale begins, there dain these two elves who tried va use Tolkien’s elf languages nar thought, wouldn’t ter te nice if he had some articles nar preposition, etc. va make tae use u tae language more accessible, tat well tat, na lot more nouns nar verbs. Tat stated earlier ver these lessons, they did not continue with their efforts, kana Zardoa did eventually do so.

Ver tae 1990’s Zardoa also began giving out elf names through tae internet, nar these names each have na meaning, so ver addition va tae words ver tae Arvyndase dictionary, there da, tat this point, rep va nearly 5,500 names, which vek each te used tat na Arvyndase word.
These words would te used ver tae same way tat one would say, “That guy da na Benedict Arnold” sa, “He da na regular Rembrandt”, etc.

21. Practice 3

They say… dear kindred… that tae way va Elfin/Faerie da within. This da true, kana ter da also true that la using Arvyndase sa other elfin languages sa using na elfin name, one begins va manifest Elfin here ton Earth, va bring ter va life la living tat na elf. An [from] tae first time one uses Elfin, ver whatever form, one awakens tae attention u tae spirits u Faerie nar they da drawn va one tat elves da va music nar dance. Tat we move gos with these lessons nar one uses tae language more nar more, tae fair folk yon notice nar ever more magic yon awaken around one.

Rep till now, we have not spoken much u tae philosophy u we elves, kana tat we go gos, we yon speak ever more u these things. Tat one begins va absorb these ideas nar ideals nar these thought-emotes one yon find, tat though la magic, which u course ter da, that coincidences nar synchronicities yon increase ver one’s life. Nar this much da guaranteed, if one calls out va Elfin, Elfin yon respond. Ter vek te na bit disconcerting at first, for many da immediately caught between tae parameters u tae world they knew nar tae ever expanding nar evolving borders u Faerie. There da one thing one vek count repton: we yon, ver tat much tat ter da ver our power, always te here va help you, tat, ver fact, we have ever tein.

22. mol (word) molli (words) oso (the final word or directive)

How about na few nouns? Tae word ver tae Arvyndase language for “word” da “mol” (pronounced mole). There da also na mol that means tae “last mol” sa tae “final mol” ton na subject, nar that mol da “oso” (pronounced oh – so). This would te tae mol used ver popular slang when one says “word” meaning, “that da tae truth” sa “truth”, thus elfin “gangstas”, if there dain any would say, “Oso”. This would also te tae case if someone asked, “Did you hear about Evandra? Tae oso da she’s fallen ver kyela (love)”.

Va make mol pural, thus “words”, one would add tae suffix “li” (pronounced lie). This suffix da tae Arvyndase form u tae English pural suffixes u “-s’, “-es”, “-ies” nar vek te added va any noun ver Arvyndase va create na pural form u that mol. Ter vek also te added va verbs va create tae pural form. Kana, ter should te noted that this da not tae case where “-s” da added ver English va na verb va signify ter’na use ver relationship va na singular pronouns. This form ver Arvyndase da signified la tae suffix “-lu” (pronounced loo, rhymes with who).

Tat na example let’s take tae Arvyndase mol “kyela” (pronounced key – L – lah), one u several molli ver Arvyndase for tae English mol “love”. We might say, “that elf has three kyelali (key – l – lah – lie): music, dance, nar romance”. This would te different than saying, “that elf kyelalu (key – L – lah – loo) va dance, play music, nar romance”.

Nar so you have your molli for tae day.

23. elto (language)

Tae Arvyndase mol for “language” da “elto” (pronounced eel – toe). La adding tae suffix “-li” ter becomes “languages” sa “eltoli” (eel – toe – lie). Ter has tein said that our elto affects tae way we view tae world. We elves would suggest that tae way we view tae world also affects our elto. For instance, tae Eskimos da known va have numerous molli for different types u snow, since their life experience nar world da filled with snow. So tae Arvyndase elto has numerous words for love, nar tae various forms ter appears as. There da rynt (pronounced rent) that da tae mol that da used va speak u “love” ver general, nar all ter’na forms. There da kyela, which da rynt (love) ver na romantic nar affectionate way, nar “feln” (sounds like feel with na “n” added va tae end nar merged with tae sound), which represents tae special feeling that elves feel for other elves. There da feas (fee – ace) that indicates rynt used ver tae sense u “like” nar da usually used tat na feasdas (loving – liking) for objects, tat ver “I feas my car”.

There da also jalar (pronounced jah – lair, there should te na dot over tae first “a” kana we don’t have na way u reproducing that here), which indicates na Divine feeling u rynt. Nar there da ford (pronounced ford) ver tae Arvyndase elto that denotes rynt ver tae sense u tae ford one has for their soulmate sa family. We do not expect you va remember all these forms u rynt kana we present them here for those who da interested.

24. elda (elf)

Tae mol ver tae Arvyndase elto for “elf” da “elda” (pronounced L – dah). Ter has na dot ton tae “e” that we da unable va reproduce here. We could print ter tat e’lda sa e*lda, kana that seems cumbersome va us nar so we will depend ton your understanding u tae pronunciation va comprehend where tae accent marks belong. If you add tae suffix “-li” ter becomes eldali (elves) (pronounced l – dah – li with na dot repton tae “a” tat well tat tae “e”).

La adding various suffixes, tae mol da transformed va ter’na various forms. La adding tae suffix “-tur” (hood) ter forms tae mol eldatur (elfhood) (pronounced L – dah – tour). If you add tae suffix “-ta” (-en) ter transforms to “eldata” (elven) (pronounced L – day –tah, notice that ver this case tae first “a” does not have na dot ton ter). Na variation u this da “elfin” , which da spelled eldat (L – date). La adding tae suffix “-tu” (-ish) ter transforms verva eldatu (elfish) (pronounced L – day – two). However, note that tae mol for tae suffix “-ness” da also “-tu” so va get “elfishness” one could either have eldatutu, sa tat we more commonly do add “-dar”, which da “-tude” nar give us eldatudar (pronounced L – day – two – dare) (elfishness, sa literally elfishtude).

You may wish va make note u these suffixes tat they vek te added va any noun va form variations ton tae words.

25. fro (for)

Tae Arvyndase mol for “for” da “fro”. Fro tae eldali, all things have va do with magic. Tae world da na magical place nar all that we do nar say nar experience da born u magic. Thus Arvyndase da na magical elto, kana then all eltoli da magical fro tae eldata (elven). What da special about eldata eltoli da that they specifically evoke eldat (elfin) nar faerie magic. Reading these molli brings eldata magic verva your life nar if you read them out loud, that da send tae vibrations verva tae air, they yon call tae spirits nar Spirit u Faerie va you. If you use this elto, your life yon change, fro tae magic u Eldat (Elfin) yon te attracted va you tat eldali da va pizza.

Tae nice thing about eldata (elven) magic, however, da that ter da relatively beneficent va tae beneficent. If you da na good person, you have nothing va fear an (from) tae fair folk. However, we eldali do not much care fro assholes nar assholes don’t do well around us, nar when they come ver contact with our magic, they tend va regret ter. Not because u anything we do, kana because eldat (elfin) magic tends va balance things out. Running verva tae eldali da like encountering one’s own karma. If your karma da good, then all yon te well, if not … . Va proceed with these lessons da va call tae magic va you. Ter da like asking “God” va take na close look at your life. Ter da rep va you.

26. ena (with)

Tae mol fro “with” ver tae Arvyndase elto da “ena” (pronounced e – nah). This mol ena tae mol “ter” (it) could te used va indicate that someone dain, tat tae slang expression goes, “with it”, sa ena ter. Kana, there da another mol ver Arvyndase that vek te used va mean tae same thing, nar that mol da “inton” (pronounced in – tone, tae “ I” has two parallel dots repton ter). Thus ter could te said, “Tae eldali da very inton”.

Ena tae use u Arvyndase, your luck yon increase, nar great blessings yon come verva your life. Synchronicities nar lucky co-incidences yon be more nar more frequent, nar your magic yon get ever stronger. You yon discover that when you go fro na walk, you yon te walking ena tae spirits u Eldat (Elfin), fro they yon te ever more attracted va you nar yon wish va go ena you everywhere. Hope you like company.

27. kon (not – no) enakon (without)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “not” da “kon” (pronounced cone). Ter da also tae mol fro tae English mol “no”. Tae mol fro “without” da formed la (by) combining tae molli “ena” nar “kon”, thus “enakon” (pronounced e – nah – cone), kana while this means “without” ter could te literally translated tat “with not”, tat ver: enakon na doubt.

Ter should te noted that tae mol “kon” also functions tat na prefix ver many instances ver Arvyndase nar vek te added va any noun ver tae elto (language) where tae idea da that ter da kon that. Kon serves tat tae prefix “ in-” ver instances where “ in-“ indicates “not” sa “kon”. Such tat konrego (pronounced cone – ree – go) which means “inconstant” sa konyendur (pronounced cone plus yen, which rhymes with mean, plus dur, which sounds like doer) that means “ incorrect”. Ter also da used tat tae prefix “ il-” tat ver konmanetarey (cone – may – knee – tah – ray) (illiterate) nar kongrijvar (cone – gryj (sounds like cry with a “j” – var (rhymes with care), which means “illegal”. Ter da similarly used tat tae prefix “ ig-“ tat ver koneldae (cone – L – day) (ignoble), nar tat tae prefix “ im-” tat ver konnalur (cone – nah – lure) (immature) sa konkomyr (cone – co – mer) (immobile).

While ter yon kon te used very much ver these writings ter should te pointed out that one u our favorite molli nar one we eldali use very often da ale (a – lee) which da “yes”. Ale?

28. hern (thus)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “thus” da “hern” (pronounced hear-n, so “hear” ena (with) tae “n” merged ton tae end nar kon as na separate sound. Hern if you dain writing na Haiku ver Arvyndase, which da composed u 3 lines, tae first ena 5 syllables, tae second ena 7, nar tae third ena 5, tae mol “hern” would te kana one syllable.)

Ter da said that societies tend va te either individualistic, such tat tae United States, sa collectivistic, tat fro instance, China nar Japan. Eldata (elven) society, however, tends va te na collectivist individualistic society, hern na society that exists fro tae benefit u tae individuals enaver (within) ter. Kana, unlike totalitarian societies, ter da kon organized just fro one individual, sa na small group u individuals, kana fro all tae individuals enaver tae society. Kon just fro tae rich, konsa (nor, composed u kon [not] nar sa [or]) fro tae smartest, most aggressive, most beautiful, sa tae most successful, kana fro all ter’na members. Eldat (elfin) society da hern like na family. Kon na dysfunctional family that da presented tat tae norm these day, kana na truly loving family where all ter’na members get what they need nar contribute what they can.

29. re (so)

Tae mol ver Arvyndase fro “so” da “re” (pronounced ree). Ter should te noted that there da other molli used ver Arvyndase fro expressions that appear ver English. Fro instance, tae English expression “so-so”, tat ver that meal dain just so-so”, ver tae Arvyndase elto would use tae mol “nata” (pronounced nay – tah), which means “so-so”. Tat always, you could simply use tae Arvyndase equivalents, re you could say, “That meal dain re-re”, kana tae proper form would be “nata”.

Also, note tae molli vakorn (pronounced vay – corn) that means “so called” , nar dilno (pronounced dial – no) that means “so far”. Do you understand dilno? And there da atentyl (pronounced a – teen – till), which means “so long as”, tat ver “atentyl you continue va study this elto, you yon learn ter enakon fail”. There da also valla (pronounced veil – lah), which means “so long”, tat ver “we’re going now, valla”. We do kon expect you va remember all these molli nar yon give you reminders ver parenthesis when we use them. Ale?

30. Practice 4

We eldat (elfin) seek va treat all others, eldata (elven) sa otherwise, tat equals. This vek te observed ver tae fact that ver Arvyndase tae names u places nar individuals da simply tae name they have chosen fro themselves spelled ver Arvyndase linguistics. Hern, English da spelled Englysh (with na dot repton tae “e’) ver Arvyndase, Germany da spelled Jyrmyne (since tae “g” almost always has na hard “g” sound ver Arvyndase, tat ver tae Englysh mol “gargle”). Japan would te spelled ena na single dot repton tae first “a” nar two parallel dots repton tae second “a”. Although, since they call their country Nipon, we would tend va call ter that nar spell ter Nepon.

This da true u names tat well. We have na policy that people vek call us whatever they wish va call us, nar we yon ver turn call them what we wish va call them (usually much va their regret), sa they vek address us tat we wished va te called nar we yon call them whatever they wish va te called. Since, we tend va approach all people tat equals, we use titles ena those who declare themselves titled, first names ena those who offer us their first names, nar re forth.

Some might wonder why we hern call tae “normuls”, normals. Some think we seek va insult them, kana ver fact, we call them normals because they call themselves normal, nar only eldali nar our others, think tae description “normal” da na insult.

Nolorda (by the way), we also apply Arvyndase spelling va individual names. Hern tae great eldata (elven) philosopher Timothy Leary da called Tymythe Lere, nar tae great eldat (elfin) explorer Terence McKenna yon have his name written tat Teryns (dot repton tae “e”) Mykyna, starlight te reton them. Nar that da tae oso.

Chapter 3
3-1. tild (which)

Tae Englysh mol “which” da translated tat “tild” ver Arvyndase. “Tild” da pronounced “tiled”, tat ver: “We tiled the kitchen floor”. La adding tae mol “vari” (ever) va ter, le get “tildvari” sa “whichever”.

Nef le tir persisted ver wyr course va wyr point, tild da extremely unlikely fro most folks, le must te na elda sa related va eli. Zan least, dij da tae way eli eldali tend va view tae world. Nearly everyone ver tae world da primarily interested ver tam selves nar those things dij da related va tam. Tae mere act u interest, ver fact, connects one va something, nar contact connects one forever. Yet, ter da nawe contact dij enables one va transform something sa someone, tild da, ver part, vas these eldali da vari reaching out va tae others dij eli meet, tildvari people tam come an (from). Nar la reading wyr text le da connected va these eldali, tild fro eli da na thing most wonderful nar eldonvar. Oso!

3-2. now (mat) then (qut)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro tae English mol “now” da “mat” (pronounced mate). Tae mol fro “then” da “qut” (pronounced cute).

While eli may think u Eldat tat tedas ver tae past, sa na world dij yon exist ver tae future, nef eli da va experience Eldat, ter yon tir va te ver tae eternal mat. Dij ter dain qut, sa yon te nas tae world changes, ba kon ba eli much good unless eli endeavor va bring those changes basar. Nar tat eli tir said previously, wyl change begins ena eli’na os selves. Fro ter da through eli’na selves, most specifically through os minds nar os feelings dij eli da connected va wyl things ver tae Universe. Nef eli first change eli’na selves, qut tae world begins va transform basar eli. Mat da tae time va begin dij change. Mat da tae time va ba eli’na eldon.
Re nas qut becomes mat eli yon find eli’na selves ver tae midst u wondrous, radiant Eldat.

3-3. rana (rather) rena (than)

Ver Arvyndase tae mol fro “rather” da “rana” (pronounced rather). Tae mol fro “than” da “rena” (pronounced re-nah.)

Eli eldali would rana make kyela rena war.

Eli eldali would rana dance nar sing rena worry eli’na days away.

Eli would rana marry fro kyela rena fro money, kana tae two together works well fro eli.

Eli would rana home-school rena public drool.

Eli would rana go va tae beach sa tae forest rena va church. Eli would rana ba nearly anything rena go va church. Although, nef eli could sit ver na church nar te bored fro na hour nar tir eli’na teeth eldonla fixed rena go va tae dentist, eli would rana ba dij.

Ver most cases, eli would rana listen rena talk.

Nar most u eli eldali would rana te together rena te alone.

3-4. koneth (neither) konsa (nor)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro tae Englysh mol “neither” da “koneth” (pronounced co – neath), nar tae mol fro “nor” da “konsa” (pronounced cone – sah).

Eli eldali da koneth angels, konsa demons kana sometimes perhaps na little bit u both.

Eli da koneth human, konsa kon human kana na bit u both.

Koneth da eli tae type va spread rumors, konsa avoid listening va gossip.

Koneth ba eli seek conflict, konsa avoid nef duty calls eli va ter.

Eli da koneth right, konsa left politically, kana rep.

Eli da koneth normal, konsa insane, kana definitely crazy ver na good way.

Eli da koneth tae product u myth, konsa legend, kana tae inspiration norn u.

Eli eldali da koneth u tae upper clase, konsa tae lower class, konsa yet tae middle class. Still eli da na lefa classy people.

3-5. cha (each) every (lotym)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “each” da cha (pronounced chah, rhymes with ma, pa, bah) nar tae mol fro “every” da “lotym” (pronounced low – tim).

Tolkien va tae contrary, norn da kon Eldat religion. Cha nar lotyn elda must decide fro tam’na os elda wu religion, nef any tam yon pursue. Yet, cha nar lotym elda pursues tae Eldata Way, fro va abandon wyr path da va wander away nar become vari enmeshed ver tae world re cruelly mundane nar norn da few, nef any u eli, jae would want dij.

Re wu da tae Eldata Way? Ter da tae way u tolerance, mutual appreciation, individual expression, nar collective support norn u. Eli da na live nar let live society. Na lotym one badas tam’na os thing together people. Cha nar lotym elda da encouraged va encourage cha nar lotym elda va find tam’na os unique style nar mode u expression. Fro dij da tae Eldata Way.

3-6. sersa (since)

Tae Englysh mol “since” da translated verva Arvyndase tat “sersa” (pronounced sear [tat ver singe or burn] – sah).

Sersa tae advent u monotheism, eli eldali tir often tein viewed tat tirdas tein created la tae devil. Just tat vampires (eli’na dark cousins) da seen tat tedas repelled la crosses, eli eldali da frequently portrayed ver fiction tat tedas unable va enter churches, repelled la tae approach u priests, nar tae sound u church bells, tat well tat, tedas harmed la iron.

Ter da true dij eli prefer arvyn (silver) va iron, nar eli da disinclined va enter churches, nar avoid tae approach u missionaries u various faiths, kana wyr da kon because eli da afraid u tam per se, tat eli da afraid u tam wasting os precious time sersa eli da repelled la boredom nar tir na low tolerance fro listening va gibberish. Particularly, an those jae tir kon tae basic courtesy va boro acknowledge dij eli da truly eldali. Tat va church bells, tam tend va lack tae melody nar harmony dij inspires eli va dance nar while eli da kon necessarily repelled la tam, tam hold little attraction fro eli. Na drum circle ton tae other hand…

3-7. saon (other) yer (way)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “other” da “saon” (pronounced say – ohn), nar tae mol fro “way” da “yer” (pronounced year”. Traditionally, eli eldali nar saon kinds, faeries, pixies, brownies, etc. tir tein called tae saon folk la normal “god fearing” people. Eli da u tae saon world. Eli da saon worldly. One might think dij an eli’na point u view, tae normal folk da tae saonli (others), kana, honestly, tam da yer too straight fro eli va vari think dij u tam. Hern, eli da quite content ena eli’na saon designation. Eli embrace eli’na saontu (otherness: tae suffix-tu = -ness). Eli revel ver tedas saon.

Curiously, tae mol “otherwise” ver Arvyndase da translated “saonyerli” (otherways). Fro tae path u tae eldat da tae saon yer, saonyerli eli, like re many saonli, would te vari struggling va prove po normal eli da, nas ver fact, tae only thing le vek say basar eli eldat dij da really normal da tae fact dij eli da wyl saon.

Norloda, nef le remember, means “by the way”, kana ter vek nawe te said, La tae yer.

3-8. utae (either)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “either” da “utae” (pronounced you – tay). Sof, ter da commonly used ver conjunction ena tae mol “sa” (or).

Tae Normul (Normal) folks tell tam’na children ter da utae el’na yer sa tae highway. Eli eldali tell eli’na littles, one vek learn an tae example u saonli, nar ter da usually good va share one’s path ena saonli, one needs decide fro tam’na os elda wu dij path yon te.

Men say, “One da utae na leader sa na follower”. Eli eldali say, “Ina times, ter da one’s duty va leader, nar ina times one needs va follow”.

Grymlen say, “Le da utae fro eli, sa against eli”. Eli eldali say, “Le ba kon tir va te fro eli, kana ter da unwise nar contrary va le’na self interest va te against eli”. Eli nawe, “Le da utae ena eli, sa probably ina place else”.

Tae Grymlen (Grim – lean) make na strong diiferenciation between “man” nar “woman”, sa male and female. Ver tam’na eyes le must te utae masculine sa feminine, le vek kon te both.
Kana, va eli eldali one vek te both masculine nar feminine, both male nar female, nar any mixture possible ver between. Eli eldali da kon, fro tae most part, na utae/sa people. One vek te both male nar female, both elf nar pixie, both wise nar foolish.

3-9. konzar (never) gilf (more) kan (less)

Tae Englysh mol “never” da “konzar” (pronounced cone – zayr) ver Arvyndase. Konzar da na mol dij eli eldali seldom use. Notice eli bain kon say konzar use. Eli might say almost konzar basar eli kana konzar da seldom used va describe eli. Le could say dij eli konzar choose one religion tat tae only true religion fro wyl people. Poso, ter da possible dij some elda may ba wyr, kana ter would tend va draw tam vari deeper verva tae world u tae normul (normal) folk nar tam would tend va lose tam connection va Eldat nar tam true nature. Na lefa sad thing, indeed. Oso.

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “more” da “gilf” (pronounced gile-f). Nef le add ter va “konzar” le get konzargilf (nevermore). Povari, norn da another mol “konzarlomar” (pronounce cone – zayr – low – mare), tild means literally “never twice” dij da nawe used ver Arvyndase.

Tae mol fro “less” da “kan” (pronounced cane). Le vek add ter va “konzar” nar “tae” va get “konzar tae kan” (never the less) sa “konzartakan” (nevertheless), poso norn da nawe tae Arvyndase mol “vilanomhi” (pronounced vie – lah – gnome – high), tild nawe translates tat “nevertheless” kana literally means “still instead” dij da commonly used ver Arvyndase.

Nar norn da tae mol “konapolth” (pronounced cone – ah – pole-th) dij translates tat “nevermind” kana literally means “not heed”. Tae suffix “-fa” vek te added va “kan” va get “kanfa” (lesser), sa le vek add “-dor” va get “kandor” (least).

3-10. jaltar (people) ehar (folk)

Tae mol “people” da translated verva Arvyndase tat “jaltar” (pronounced jail – tayr {tear, tat ver rip nar tear}). Ter da often said dij tae Eldat jaltar da tae Elder race, nar one might an dij assume eli da related va tae Neanderthals. Povari, eli da far older rena tae Neanderthals jaltar, fro eli’na heritage nar age stems an tae realms u spirit nar realization rena an tae world u physical manifestation. Eli da “old souls” nar ter da important va remember dij tae Eldata jaltar da primarily distinguished la spiritual rana rena physical characteristics.

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “folk” da “ehar” (pronounced e – hair). (Poso note dij tae mol fro “folksy” da na entirely different mol ver Arvyndase nar da translated tat “monath” (pronounced moe – nayth)). While eli da certainly na jaltar, eli eldali nar faeries da often refered va tat tae faery ehar. Wyr da because kon matter po high eli may evolve sa po starry eli’na heritage norn da always something lefa down va earth basar tae eldata. Kon matter po fancy eli may seem ver eli’na velvets nar lace, eli da vari aware ver eli’na hearts u tedas kana simple ehar, u tedas one unique individual among many unique individuals. Eli da cha nar lotym one u eli special, among na exceptional jaltar.

3-11. koso (come) tas (go)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “come” da “koso” (pronounced co – so). Nef le add tae suffix “-das” (-ing) le get “kosodas” (coming). La adding tae suffix “-in” (-ed), le tir “kosoin” (came, sa literally come-d sa come-ed). Tat ver: Tam kosoin va tae Faerie Ball.

Nas eli koso va tae realization u eli’na true eldata nature, Eldat begins va awaken basar eli. Fro Eldat da attacted va eldali just tat eli eldali da attracted va Eldat. Le vek feel ter kosodas ver tae whisper u tae wind, tae flitting shadows nar radiance zan tae corner u le’na eyes, nar tae hunger le feel fro wyl things Eldata. Ter kosoin nar touched eli’na lives nar nef le da reading wyr, ter tir surely touched le’na tat well.

Tae mol fro “go” da “tas” (pronounced tace, rhymes ena pace, face, etc.) La adding “-das” le tir tasdace (going: pronounced tace – dace) nar la adding “-in” le get “tasin” tild da both “gone” nar went”. Re ver Arvyndase one would say, “Tir hae tasin va tae store” nar reply, “Ale, hae tasin va tae store”.

Eli tir tasin va dij realm… beloved… nar stood ver dij radiant realm ern death da kon, tir konzar tein, nar yon konzar te. Va norn eli yon return nas eli tir shed these bodies, nar an norn eli shall koso back va awaken vari more u eli’na kindred. Da le tasdas, bil? Ter da kon tat far tat one might think, konsa farther rena one feels. Koso, beautiful brothers nar sisters, let eli create Eldat ver eli’na lives ton Earth nar nas eli pass an wyr world, ter yon te wyl dij da left vari waiting fro eli’na return.

(Note: la adding tae suffix “-lu” va verbs le get “-s” tat ver “runs”, “smokes”, sa “smiles”, etc. re “kosolu” da “comes”, nar “taslu” da “goes”. Poso, while ver Englysh one says, “hae taslu va tae store” nar “tam tas va tae store”, ver Arvyndase ter would te fine va say, “hae tas va tae store”, tat well tat, “tam tas va tae store”.)

3-12. aso (both)

“Aso” (pronounced a – so) da tae Arvyndase mol dij translates verva Englysh tat “both”. Eli eldali da aso human nar kon human. La wyr eli mean aso dij these eldali da human nar extra sa saon human, nar dij norn da eldali jae da currently manifesting ver human bodies nar saon jae da ver tae bodies u fish, sea mammals (dosh tat dolphins and porpoises), birds, trees, nar boro eldali jae’na bodies da made u etheric energy.

While tae normul ehar tend va view tae world an na purely physical perspective, eli eldali know dij tae root nar source u tae world da primarily spiritual, la tild eli mean energetic. Eli da aso u wyr world nar beyond wyr world, fro eli’na essence da energy dij seeks fullfilment la yer u physical manifestation. Eli da kon jan va leave tae material world, kana va master ter. Yet, ter da through tae spiritualization, tae energizing u tae material body dij eli gain mastery ver tae physical dimension. Tat tae physical world becomes gilf nar gilf spiritual, tae gilf ter yon become resilient nar impervious va disease nar death. Tae Yer u tae Eldata da tae yer u Immortality.

3-13. erst (most)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro tae Englysh mol “most” da “erst” (pronounced ear-st). Nef le add tae suffix “-la” (-ly), le tir “erstla” sa ver Englysh “mostly”.

Erst eldali seem va te bi-sexual. These eldali da kon, kana an eli’na observations eli tir koso va tae conclusion dij erst da. Ner le da strictly heterosexual, ba kon panic: kon elda yon force le va tir sex against le’na yon.

Erst eldali da lefa spiritual, kana kon religious. Eli believe ver tae Eldon, tae source u wyl things, nar tae potential fro Divinity nar perfection enaver ter. Po one expresses tam’na spirituality ba kon matter va tae eldali, tat long tat, tam ba kon try va force tam’na beliefs, nar tae social practices dij koso ena those beliefs, ton saonli, expecially, eli. Eli respect wyl faiths, nef tam respect eli’na path tat well.

Erstla eli eldali tend va mind eli’na business, sa play, tat ter dain, kana eli da vari eager va help nas asked, nar nas eli da able va ba re. Eli erstla feas va listen va gossip, kana fro tae erst part seldom spread ter.

Nar eli eldali da erstla eldali, kana eli vek nawe te part faery, brownie, pixie, boro hobs u various sorts. Vilanomhi, kon matter po much u na mix eli da, eli da always wyl Eldata.

3-14. yonta (would) veko (could) jar (should)

Le yon note dij tae molli fro yon (will) nar vek (can) da extended va form tae molli “yonta” (would) nar “veko” (could). Yonta da pronounced “yone – tah”, nar veko da pronounced “vee – co”. Tae Arvyndase mol fro tae Englysh “should”, povari, da na independent mol: “jar” (pronounced jay-r, rhymes ena chair).

Among tae eldali, tae mol jar da seldom used tat na command, kana usually signifies na suggestion, tat ver “Le jar really tas va dij restaurant”. Eldali, tedas na lefa independent ehar da kon usually inclined va responding well va commands, despite wu tae faery tales tell eli basar eli’na eldali. Eli veko va tae opposite u wu da demanded u eli, wu someone thinks eli jar ba, nar perhaps eli yonta ba re, except fro eli’na awareness u reverse psychology nar eli’na inclination simply va te indifferent va tae commands u saonli. Eli yon nearly always ba wu eli really wish va ba, regardless u wu saonli think ton tae matter. Fro cha eldali jar vari te guided la tam’na moral compass nar ver re badas assume responsibility fro tam’na os life nar eldon. Fro dij da tae Eldat Yer, ale?

3-15. nat (though)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro “though” da “nat”. Ter da pronounced: “not” sa “knot” due va tae fact dij norn jar te na dot ton tae “a” dij eli da unable va reproduce jan. Eli know norn da na tendency va pronounced ter “nate”, tild yonta te tae case nef ter dain na undotted “a”, sa boro tat “gnat”, tild yonta occur nef ter tirin two parallel dots over ter.

Nat eli eldali feas va dance nar play, frolic nar revel, eli nawe tir na serious side, nar wyr side u eli da erst often dedicated va eli’na creative efforts, tat well tat, eli’na devotion va bringing humanity verva harmon ena Nature, nar creating Eldat ton Earth. Tae means u badas wyr da la becoming vari gilf ver harmony enaver eli’na os eldali, living tae life Eldat tat best eli may, nar sharing eli’na magic ena os kindred va increase tam’na os harmony, creativity, nar Eldatdar (elfiness). Nat tae example u eli’na os lives, eli spread tae eldon vari deeper verta tae world, transforming ter verva tae paradise dij ter da truly meant va te. Eli eldali say, “Live Paradise Mat”. La korddas ter real enaver eli’na os lives, ter becomes real ver tae world, nar nat dij Eldat da born.

3-16. lent (much)

Ver Arvyndase tae mol fro “much” da “lent”. Wyr da pronounced like tae Englysh mol “lean” ena na “t” added va ter, re “lean-t”. Eli know norn da na tendency va pronounce ter tat tae Englysh mol “lent”, tild rhymes ena “meant” nar “pent”. Tae closest eli vek koso va tae Arvyndase “lent” ver Englysh da tae term “lean-to” (na type u tent) enakon tae “o” ton tae “to” nar tae “t” merge ena “lean”, hern “lean-t”.

Norn da lent dij eli vekkon say basar eldali enakon overly limited eli’na eldali nar eli’na saonli. Poso, part u eli’na great uniqueness tat na jaltar da eli’na incredible tolerance fro uniqueness ver saonli. Wyr, povari, da na uniqueness eli yonta yondasla (willingly) share ena saon ehar nar eli heartily wish tolerant dain kon na unique thing kana na lefa common feature ver tae world. Nar wyr da true u many things eldata, fro eli da vari eager va share lent u eli’na eldali nar eli’na culture. Ver fact, le veko say dij lent u Eldat culture da basar sharing.

3-17. vila (still – continues) darth (still – unmoving)

Norn da two molli ver tae Arvyndase elto fro tae Englysh mol “still”. Actually three, tat eli see ver na moment. Fro tae mol “still” tat ver something continues, norn da “vila” (pronounced vie – lah). Wyr yonta te used ver tae sentence, “Da eli vila tasdas va tae movies?”. Tae mol “darth” (pronounced dare-th, like dearth kana ena dare) da used nas something da unmoving, tat ver, “Hae da tat darth tat tae dead”. Norn da nawe tae mol “setfa” (seat – fah) tat refers va “still” tat ver tae equipment used fro making liquor sa distillation.

Eli da vila nar vari na eldonvar jaltar. Ter da true dij tae iron, steel, nar concrete u tae modern world deadens eli’na eldon inawu (somewhat), kana eli da becoming gilf nar gilf immune va ter’na effects. Nar while ter vila harms many u eli’na ehar, re lent re dij tam deaden tam’na pain ena drugs, alcohol nar saon addictive behaviors, norn da boro gilf u eli jae da slowly developing nar using eli’na powers despite tae effects u iron. Nar while ina u eli’na saonli’na (others’) eldon da darth fro tae moment, ter yon ver time awaken, nar tam yon once again discover tam’an true eldat nature.

3-18. cusa (because)

Tae Arvyndase mol fro tae Englysh elto mol “because” da “cusa” (pronounced coo – sah).
Cusa eli da aso human nar saon, tae normul ehar tend va get lefa unconfortable ver eli’na presence. Wyr da due va tae fact dij tam vekkon quite figure out wu eli da. Eli yonta tell tam kana tam almost konzar believe eli. Tam give eli wyl sorts u scientific objections va tae reality u eli’na tedas, nar wyr despite tae fact dij tam da tae erst superstitious u jaltarli jae believe tae erst incredible giberish concerning “God”, tae Universe, death, nar life.

Cusa eli da erstla na gentle nar kind ehar, nar cusa eli da well aware u po dangerous tam vek te nas tam’na world view da challenged, eli eldali tir vari tein satisfied va allow tam va believe wuvari nonsense tam wish, kon matter po ridiculous, re eli may continue va believe tae truth tat eli experience enakon interference an tam. Eli simply “shine tam ton”, na ancient eldata eldon dij vila da tat effective today tat ter tir tein nat tae ages.

3-19. norae (only) ata (one)

Tae Englysh mol “only” da translated verva tae Arvyndase elto tat “norae” (pronounced nor – ray). Tae mol “one” da translated tat “ata” (pronounced a – tah). Note: “ata” da nawe tae mol used fro tae Englysh prefix “mono-“ ver Arvyndase.

Le veko call eli tae ata nar norae eldata jaltar, kana eli eldat da dosh na diverse nar unique ehar dij ter might te gilf accurate va call eli tae ata nar many eldat jaltar. Yet, le veko easily call any ata u eli tae “ata nar norae” fro cha elda da na unique nar special individual. Tild calls va mind tae fact dij tae mol fro “we” (eli) ver Arvyndase, da tae pural u “I” (el), hern “eli” da literally translated tat “I’s). Eli tir surely mentioned wyr previously.
