New Elfish / High Elfish
or, in its own toungue, Veltsin
Ilduri Home
Background: Linguistic Development
Veltsin developed from the original Elfish language, that is Primitive Elfish, after the elfs had been grouped in the Haven for a number of years. It became the dominant language fairly quickly. It was called New Language in its own toungue, that is, it was called "Veltsin" (velt=language, sin=new). In time, it was replaced by a "worn-down" form of the language called the Common Toungue. Veltsin was, like Latin, saved as a formal language; thus was it called Old High Elfish- (for it was old and formal). Happily, Old High Elfish became quite used in tradition and so did not fade from knowledge- even the Men of the west retained some knowledge of it after the Decension.

Orthography and Phonology: Letters and Sounds in Veltsin
Consoants: New Elfish contains 16 essential consonants. In our Latin alphabet, I have chosen to represent them as: C, D, Dh, F, G, H, L, M, N, Ng, P, R, S, T, Th, V.

Vowels: In New Elfish, there are 5 vowels and 2 semi-vowels. The vowels are: A, E, I, O, U. The semi-vowels are: Y, W. In Veltsin, there are 10 essential vowel sounds, 5 short and 5 long. The 5 short vowel sounds, are, as may have been guessed, the 5 basic vowels, (A, E, I, O, U), by themselves. Each of this vowels, however, combines with one of the semi-vowels to form a long vowel sound. For example, the vowel "A" general combines with the semi-vowel "y". Thus, a long "a" is written "ay". ("aw" is a conceviable long dipthonge for the elfs, but it is rarely, if ever, used). When writing with our Latin alphabet, however, I do not usually write the semi-vowel. A semi-vowel "y", when combined with a vowel, I most often represent with an accent, and the semi-vowel "w" with a circumflex. Therefore, I would not write "ay", but rather "á". (The unused sound "aw" would be written "â"). Now then, which short vowels combine with which semi-vowels? "A", "E", and "I" almost always combine with "Y". "O" and "U" almost always combine with "W". Therefor, the ten vowel sounds in Veltsin are: A, E, I, O, U, Á, É, Í, Ô, Û. The pronounciation of each of these is dicussed below. (Note that the semi-vowels can and often are used as consonants).

Pronounciation: I have compiled a chart of the Veltsin sounds with there rough English equivalent. Obviously, the sounds of one language aren't exactly the same, but this is about as close as one shall get.

Irregularities: At the end of a word, "v" becomes "b". The Elfs did not have a letter for "b", but pronounced it thus nonetheless. We Anglos do, though, so I replace "v"s with "b"s in both pronounciation and spelling. The word "selb" [to release], for example, comes via Veltsinized "selv" from Primitive Elfish "sehrv". Note also that the "b" reverts to a "v" when it is no longer the final letter (i.e., "selb" [to release] can become "selvic" [released]). Another small irregularity is that, depending on which Elf you talk to, "u" at the end of a word is sometimes pronounced "û". Also, an unstressed "a" may occasionally, again depending on the Elf, be pronounced as a shwa.
Grammar: The Noun
What is a noun: A noun is a physical or abstract object.

Genders: In New Elfish, some nouns have a gender. Affix "r" to the end of the stem for masculine, and "n" to the end for femenine. With nothing affixed, the noun is considered genderless. Example "Nel" [elf] becoming "Nelr" [elfman] or "Neln" [elfette]. The gender consonant is not always pronounced. Usually only personal nouns have genders, but their are a few exceptions. Sometimes, animals recieve a gender consonant, to differentiate between, say, a bull and cow, for example.

Pronouns: Pronouns are used in place of nouns to avoid repitition. In New Elvan, Vowels are used to describe person. Use this chart:

Person

Masculine
Femminine

Noun Subjective/Objective forms: An subjective noun in a syntax is the noun "doing" the Action. The noun that is having the verb "done" to it is objective. For example: "I ate the food": "I" is the subjective noun, or subject, and "the food" is the obbjective noun, or object. "The man likes the tree": Although "the tree" is not subjected to anything by "the man", it is still the object. It is also possible to have a syntax with no object, like "People die": where people is the subject, but has no object. In New Elvan, obbjective pronouns (not nouns!) suffix an "-s" after the gender suffix. Nothing is added to subjects. Hence, "Ara" means "I (masc.)", and "Aras" means "Me (masc.)". Becasue "ns" is a disallowed consonent cluster for New Elvan, femminine pronouns recieve "-es" instead of "-s", like "on" becoming "ones" (rather than ons).

The Article: In New Elvan, there are two articles: The definite and the indefinite. An article is a word that comes before the noun, like English "the". In New Elvan all of the articles are prefixed to the word. Here is a basic chart of all the articles and their meanings:

Article
Meaning
Approx. English Equivalent
Li- Masculine Definite Article Singular the
Lí- Masculine Definte Article Plural the
Le- Femminine Definite Article Singular the
Lé- Femminine Definite Article Plural the

Cé- Femminine Indefinite Article Plural *
Ca- Genderless Indefinite Article Singular a
Cá- Genderless Indefinite Article Plural *
*Approx. equivalent is no word used, just an empty wordless space. (Example: "A dog" pluralized is "dogs", not "a dogs")


Pluralisation: A To pluralize a noun, leagthen the article. For example, "litelr" would become "lítelr". Plural means any amount more or less than one.

Ownership: Ownership is used to describe a noun belonging to another noun. (If a noun belongs to a pronoun, there are special rules to govern this. See the Adjective section). There are two forms of Ownership in English, active and passive. Active onwership is the entire point of the syntax, where passive ownership is adjectival. ("The dog is Joe's": Active; "Joe's dog...": Passive). In New Elvan, both forms exist, but there is no distinction between the two. They are expressed the same. The owned noun comes first, then the owner noun, like French "de". Sort of similar to English "of". Hence, a word-for-word translation would yeild "the house of the man" rather than "the man's house". The letter "a" is preffixed to the beginning of the owner noun's article. Here is an example: "lipelr acanil". I will disect the two words: li(the)-pel("lord")-r(masculine) a(of)-ca(a)-nil("home"), literally meaning: "The lord of a house". Also, if the owned noun is plural, than the "a" for "of" must be plural, aslo. Example: "líbelr ácanil" is "the lords of a home". Nothing happens if the owner noun is plural. Example: "libelr acánil" is "the lord of (some) homes".

Abstraction:To make an abstract noun out of a tangible noun, remove any genderal ending and add "-even" (ie: ranr [king] to raneven [kingdom]). This is like Enhlish endings "-dom", "-ship", and "-(d)red" (in martyrdom, friendship, and kindred, for example).
Grammar: The Syntax
What is a syntax: A syntax is a complete thought, containing a Subject, Action, and usually a Object. These three parts of speech are discussed above.

Statement Sentance Structure: In English, there are two forms of Statement Sentance Strucutre. The Active: "Object, Action, Subject" (example: "A man ate the food"), and the Passive: "Subject, Action, Object" (example: "The food was eaten by a man"). In New Elvan, there is one form of Sentance Strucutre: "Subject, Object, Action" (example: "The food a man ate). So, if one wanted to say "A (male) lord constructed the house", one would say "Lanil cipelr garedil." (Gar = create/construct/build/make)

Interrogative sentance structure: In Veltsin, the words appear in the same order, but the verb is conjugated differently. For questions, the verbs conjugation is replaced by '-ét'. For example, "Have you any bread?" becomes "Cálemp erdhavét?"

Imperative sentance structure: In Veltsin, the words appear in the same order, but the verb is not conjugated at all. So "Lálempe ermanti," means "You are eating your bread," but "Lálempe ermant," means, "Eat your bread!"
Grammar: The Adjective
What is an adjective: An adjective describes a noun. Words like "big", "yellow", "my" or "friendly" are examples of English adjectives.

Connecting Adjectives with Nouns: In English, adjectives can be connected to the noun actively (ie: "The house is red") and passivley (ie: "The red house..."). Both forms are used in New Elvan, but context is the only difference between their formation. In New Elvan, the adjective is always placed after the noun it describes. (ie: "The red flowers" becoming "Lésomn nars" as nars is the stem for red and som the stem for plant*.) Had the English example been "The flowers are red", the New Elvan would have remained the same.

*An interesting point. Som is N.E. for plant, Somn is N.E. for flower, and Somr is N.E. for tree (The genderless, feminine, and masculine forms becoming apparent).

Pronomial Adjectives: Pronomial adjectives are words like "my", "yours", "their" or "hers". Pronomial adjectives are suffixed to the noun in New Elvan. For example, to say "They are mine" in N.E. would be to say "Óa" ('Ó' [they] + 'a' [my, our]). "The red house is hers" would be "Lanilo nars" ('La' [the] + 'nil' [house] + 'o' [his, her, their] + 'nars' [red]). As you may have already figured out, the adjectival pronoun is the base vowel of that pronomial person. A(1st), E(2nd) and O(3rd).

Order: If there is an active adjective, it is ordered first. ie: When active, "Lanilo nars" means "The red house is hers", but "Lanil nars o" means "Her house is red". Passive, both mean "Her red house..."

Adjectival Agreement: N.E. adjectives do not need to agree in gender or number to the noun they connect to, but they can, should the speaker so choose.

Comparative and Superlative Forms: Preffix "ne-" to the adjective for comparative, and "né-" for superlative. ("big, bigger, biggest" is "dor, nedor, nédor")

Adverbs: In English, adjectives are converted to adverbs by adding "-ly"; in Veltsin, it is done by adding "-ol". (Example: "mit"="true", "mitol"="truly"). "-ol" never recieves an accent.

Grammar: Verbs
What is a verb: An action word. Something that is done.

Tenses: In N.E. there are different tenses of the verbs, like English. These tenses are:

Tense
Formation
English examle with "eat" and meaning
Present -* I eat (standard present)
Past -ed I ate (refers to a specific event in the past)
Future -ec I will eat (refers to a specific event in the furture)
Aorist formed with the verb "to do" (mad) I eat (states a general truth. Does not refer to a specific event)
Imperfect Past formed with the verb "to have" (dhav) I have eaten (refers to (an) inspecific past event(s))
Imperfect Future formed with the verb "to go" (vas) I'm going to eat (refers to (an) inspecific future event(s))
Imperative formed without the conjugational suffix Eat (a command or request)
Interrogative replace conjugational suffix with "ét" Do I eat? (a question)
Conidtional "-anr" Would eat [see notes below]
*Nothing added

Conjugation: Verbs must be conjugated. The conjugations are:

Person
Suffixiation
1st -u
2nd -i
3rd -il

Reflexive Verbs: Syntaxes in which the subject and object are the same are reflexive. In the sentance "I die", the verb is reflexive, for example. Suffix "-th" for reflexive verbs. Following a consonant, the suffixiation becomes "-ith".

Negative Verbs: Suffix "-s" for negative verbs. Following a consonant, the suffixiation becomes "-is".

Formation: First the tense is suffixed, then the conjugation. If a verb is reflexive and negative, these two can suffixed in any order. Example: "I (male) have a house." in N.E. would be "Canil ardhavu.", and "You (female) had a house." would be "Canil endhavedi.". When using tenses formed with two verbs (the imperfects and aorist), only the first verb (do, have, or go) is conjugated, hense "The (female) elf has gone to the house." would become "Lanil leneln dhavil vas." (nel = elf).

Prefixing Pronoumial Objects: The pronoun is prefixed to the verb. For the masculine pronouns, drop the last vowel.

The Irregular Verb 'To Be': This language doesn't have a word which means 'be'. Adjectives are used without it (Linil nars = The house is red [lit. The house red]). However, it would more difficult to construct a sentance stating a noun is a noun. If I wanted to say 'I am a wolf', I would say 'Ara cidûfenr' (fen = wolf). The infix '-dû-' is placed inbetween the article and noun and is similar to the English suffix '-ish' or '-like'. It is used to convert nouns into adjectives. Drop the article to use it as a noun-based adjective: (Ara cadûfenr = I am a wolf; Ara dûfenr = I am wolfish).

Adjectives: To convert a verb into an adjective, suffix "-in". Example "nod" = "end", and "nodin" = "dead".

Nouns: To convert a verb into a noun, suffix "-ûr". Example "sad" = "know", and "sadûr" = "the act of knowing" (not knowledge!).

The Conditional Tense: The conditional tense is used with, as one might expect, conditional statements. In English this is generally done with three words: if, then, would. There are three forms of the conditional tense, the cond. present, cond. past, and cond. future. The present is formed "if [past tense clause] then [conditional clause], (i.e., "if you did that, I'd do this"). The past is formed "if [past tense clause] then [past tense clause], (i.e., "if you'd have done that, I'd have done this"). And the future is formed "if [present tense clause] then [future tense clause], (i.e., if you do that, I'll do this). In Veltsin, it is very much the same:

Past: if [imperfect past] then [past conditional]
Present: if [past] then [conditional]
Aorist: if [imperfect past] then [aorist conditional]
Future: if [present] then [future conditional]
The past conditional is formed like the imperfect past, save that the verb "to have" (dhav), is formed in the conditional. The future conditional is the same, but with the verb "to go" (vas). The aorist is the same as well, with "to do" (mad). The Veltsin word which is used for 'if' is 'ím'. Now for some examples:

Past: "Ím Lithanr dhavil spel, l'adra ôrdhavanril selb odlapan!" - "If the Prince would have spoken, they'd have released my brother from prison!"
Prs.: "Ím Liranr nodedilith, árpelanru." - "If the King died, we would go to war."
Aor.: "Ím ora dhavilis dûdac, ora armadanrus dhat." - "If he wasn't stupid, I wouldn't strike him."
Fut.: "Ím erwinith, ervasanrét ilne dûtin?" - "If you grow old, will you be wiser?"

Grammar: The Preposition
Prepositions: "Arsáfu" means "I live", and "Lanila" means "My House." Thus, "Arsâfu analanila" means "I live in my house." Prefix "ana" before nouns following the syntax for 'in'. Other prepositions are, of course, used in the same way as this example.

Grammar: The Indicative Article
Indication: In English we have two indicative forms, the hither form (this, these) and the thither form (that, those). N.E. has both forms, but tthey are expressed differently. In N.E. the thither form is expressed by a special article (Lo- in the singular, Lô- in the plural), and the hither form is expressed by the normal article. (Because a noun is always definite when being indicated, the definite article is alway used). So, for example, "This tree is red but that tree is green", would be translated as, "Lisomr nars, mé losomr léc". There is no sexual definition in the indicative article.

Notes
On the Correct Name of the Language: When the elfs first realized that Prim. Elfish had split into two languages, they decided that they ought to be named. They called Prim. Elfish "Veltog", or Old Language, and the new language that had sprung up they called "Veltsin", or, logically, New Language. (In English I have translated these as Old and New Elfish). By the time of The Decension, however, a common toungue had replaced Veltsin for everyday use. In English, I call this language Common Elfish. To be honest, I can't tell you what the Elfs called it, although I presume, if it follows previous patters, it would have translated as "Common Language". At this point, 'New Elfish' no longer was new. It is then refered to by the Elfs as "Old High Language", to distinguish it from the now dead language "Old Language". Thus, in English, I use (much to everyone else's confusion) "New Elfish" and "Old High Elfish" interchangabley. Also, after Common Elfish went 'mainstream', I occasionally use the term 'Elf Latin' to refer to this language, as it had similarities to Latin (used for formal speech, books, et cetera). Obviously, the term 'Elf Latin' is only used in the extra-Ilduri veiwpoint. Okay, so what does this all mean? New Elfish, Veltsin, Old High Elfsih, and Elf Latin are all correct names for this language.

On a Few Interesting Words: Some words have a bit of history behind them, or special rules about them. Some Interesting word knowledge is noted here.

1. Dûl: Originally, the word used for good was dûlor (lor 'goodness' and the adjectival prefix). With time and with such a commonly used word, the wearing down was inevitable.

2. Ma-: This prefix used placed before a noun or adjective and means "Cause to become the noun or adjective". It is used thus as a verb. In English, the word 'make' is often used for this purpose- "You make me angry!" realy means "You cause me to become angry!" For example,

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures." -Psalm 23:2a

could be represented by "He causes me to become lain in green pastures." In Veltsin, this would be,

"Aras ormafenic anac'ildur léc" - Psalm 23:2a

Where "ormafenic" means "he causeth me to be lain". The root word here is "fen", which means "to lie". A few other things to note- before a vowel, "ma-" becomes "má-". Also, the suffix is never stressed; (the stress in "ormafenic" is as "OR-ma-FEN-ic").
Sample Texts
The Lord's Prayer:
Limidra analalodh,
Ladéne dûl,
Laranevene fôst,
Laforse al dûmadin,
áaladur em analalodh.
Lálempa dûédr erhast av'á edalawéd.
Ás erselb afalámate,
em lámatûna á dhavu selb.
Ár ás erfôstis anacásidh,
mé ás erhelm afaladir,
car laraneven ár lavel ár laril e ros
Amen

Psalm 23:1-4,6
Ilûm dûl'amelma; arrec'cus.
Aras ormafenic anac'ildur léc- aras ormadil helm avaláten han.
Lasama ormadil yefist; aras ormadil helm arsaládan acálor edhûladéno.
Yô, arpadu analâen alacas acánis, mé cádir arcisecus- car Era av'ara; aras lamelmate ád lapate madil mahan.
Aras cálor ád cálas fôstodecil mitol adhalíwedr con alavása.

Verse 5 had too many words which I have not yet learned in Veltsin- it has been (temporarily) skipped.
