Wordlist and phrases of Elder Speech
In Poland we have a wikia, where someone completed all words and phrases od elven language from the books. I wasn’t able to find them in English, so I did it by maself, with help of bab.la, context reverso and google translate, together with my own (little) knowledge.
To all my friends and readers from Poland - please, If I missed some meaning, or did something wrong, correct me. And I ask the ones from Poland, because polish was the origin language
