Sindarin Dictionary
Index of cognate entries

Looking for a Sindarin word in the dictionary is certainly useful for occasional readers of The Lord of the Rings wanting to understand the meaning of a Sindarin sentence or place name. However it may be somewhat frustrating for peoples who actually wish to express themselves in Sindarin or to write texts or poems in this language. Therefore, we are providing here a complete index of cognate words occurring in the lexicon.

Please note that these words should not be regarded as translations, as they only occur as part of the definitions. Therefore you should always read the associated Sindarin entries before using a word listed here, in order to know in which context it is used. Ideally, you should also refer to the references from J.R.R. Tolkien's books for additional information.

Select a word and click on the "Search" button. The words from the list are actually considered as glob-style search patterns. The words for friend, friendship and friendly (for instance) will all be listed if you select friend.

The scrolling area can only show 20 words. You can follow this link to have a glance at the whole list.
