Incomprehensible
Mentioned on the blog when I first rebuilt it, Eldalambë still exists in a fractured state with only two entries and terrible CSS in a neglected directory named, predictably, eldalambe. I had another look at it today after LOTR was mentioned at lunch time, and I’m more horrified than ever.
I was a bit bored and decided to translate the slightly-bodgy Quenya back into English. A hour or so later and I’ve got a couple of confusing strings, such as “this (place?) are now (finished?) and (I am glad?) (I to show?)”. Not particularly good. Shows what happens when you’re referring to a wordlist based on an unfinished language.
At one point I was considering remaking the site, but I don’t think I’ll bother. My fetish with reading/writing/speaking Quenya has long since died, and I’m content using the charset for transliterated English.
