I'm a player from China. My suggestion is about my correction of the Sindarin names in the mod.

About Sindarin grammar, see→http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/sindarin.htm

"Edhelmir" - The name should be changed into "Edhelvir". Since Sindarin compounds usually have mutations, The "m" in "mîr" should be softed as "v". Such as "Elvellyn" (el "elf" + mellyn "friends") and other compounds in Sindarin.

Also, the geographical name of "Pertorogwaith" is ought to be "Perdorogwaith". But High King Ithilion told me that "Perdorogwaith Mevans is aware of, but he says he probably won't change it". Probably that "Hartorogost" will be remain unchanged?

"Emyn Caran" - The name should be changed into "Emyn Gerain". Since the noun "Emyn"(the plural form of "amon") - "hills" - is plural, the adjective "Caran" (red) should be plural form "Cerain" instead. Also, its initial should be "G" since it is the modifier of "hills".

"Harnin Daer" - The name should be changed into "Hernin Dhaer" (because of the i-affection) or "Harnin Dhaer" at least because of the same reason.

"Durnaur" - The name can be changed into "Durnor". Usually, the diphthong "au" in Sindarin is simplified to "o" in compounds. Such as "Ioreth" (an old woman in the House of Healing of Minath Tirith) and "Nogrod" (a dwarf-city). The former is "iaur" (old) + "-reth" (feminine ending), and the latter is "naug" (dwarf) + "rod" (cave). But few Sindarin compounds don't follow this rule, like the well-known necklace ''Nauglamir. ''Maybe it's a kind of dialects among the Sindar? If so, then "Durnaur" itself is acceptable imo.

PS: I am just a 16-year-old boy from China, a newbie in both English and Sindarin. So those are only, of course, my suggestions. If you have different ideas, please post your reply. If there is any grammar mistake, don't mind it.XD

"A Mevans i 'Wistador, i nanuithant i Ennor, le nallon sí mi maurion! a tiro nin, i Caron!" -- I shall tell you its meaning if you post your reply.
