Quenya questions

[Goldberry833]

Question 1::When using future tense, Ardalambion says you use a nasal infix

eg: top-=tompuva

but what about after m,r, or n??
tir- = tiruva? tinruva?

That was an exception in past tense because you were adding ne and rn mn and nn were permissable consanant clusters, but what about now?



Question 2::in the case of making ninque "white" plural, is it ninqui?? Because when it ends in e you change to i. But doesnt qu=cw??? Even then, tho, you wood add -i since it ends in a consanant. But can a dipthong occur at the end of a word like that?????

Thanx!:D :D

I'm no expert; in fact I know only very little about Quenya or Sindarin..
But as for the first question, I'm almost certain that it is tiruva. Somewhere in the LotR there is either a song or a sentence in Quenya with the word tiruvalyë in it. That and 'tinruva' sounds absolutely moronic. :D

I don't se any problem with the pronunciation of ninqui (nin-kwi).. I don't know whether Quenya has any irregular adjectives, if so perhaps this is one. But I would assume that it is ninqui. (Just a quick question: I was about to use the two-word sentence ramar ninqui as an example, but I wasn't sure if it was correct. Is it? :))
