Sachant que le dernier Parma a révélé, par exemple, des usages totalement insoupçonnés pour écrire le quenya, et que la publication des inédits de Tolkien en est arrivée en gros aux années 40.
Il a vraiment tout compris, le gars.
I was made aware of this post by a colleague, and I feel compelled to address this. Whilst the term "definitive" may be used somewhat loosely, it is nonetheless definitive in as far that it is more than a brief summation of unreliable internet sources - which have been the case previously.
I am well aware of the latest findings in PE, but for the majority of the audience, there would be little place for inclusion into the book. Please remember this is not an academic publication, but a tribute to Tolkien's work. I have seen far too many people make mistakes using the Elvish languages, and the book is to in some way, alleviate these anomalies.
I welcome discussion about the book, but to say I do not understand is unfounded, especially as the book has not yet been published, is simply unkind. Please respect the reasons for my publishing this book - I am by no means an authority on the subject, and no doubt there are people in this very forum who know more than I, but I am not doing this for fame! More and more people are finding Tolkien's work inspiring, and having found pleasure in them myself, I am trying to make the same possible for others through the publishing of my book.
If anyone would like to discuss the book further, I would be happy to answer any questions.
Regards to all (and apologies this is not in your native tongues - mon francais est n'est pas bonne... as you can see!)
