==================
Old Elvish Lexicon
==================

Note that when a word with verbal and nominal inflection has the verbal
form semantically joined with the nominal (e.g. 'tie (with) rope'), the
nominal form is normally omitted in usage unless emphasis is intended.
It is as it were zero-incorporated.

* = the final vowel is omitted if the next word begins with a vowel, diphtong, or w.

Animacy is indicated for nouns. Otherwise the noun is inanimate.

Word classes as indicated roughly correspond to the class the free root
would belong to in English. However, in Old Elvish adjectives do not
form a separate class as such and most roots can carry both nominal and
verbal inflection.

Note adj-noun compounds are left-headed ('rootbitter') while noun-noun
compounds are right-headed ('firestone').
