Hisweloke - Sindarin dictionary

The Sindarin dictionary project

Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. [N. Hawthorne]

Introduction

Sindarin is the language of the Grey Elves, invented by J.R.R. Tolkien and exemplified in his masterful epic story The Lord of the Rings.

This is the home page of the Sindarin dictionary project. The site currently hosts the following projects:

The Sindarin dictionary project per se, focussed at building a complete and reliable Sindarin lexicon in XML (TEI) format.
Dragon Flame, a freeware application for Microsoft Windows and Linux, embedding the Sindarin dictionary along with additional tools.
Hesperides, a freeware application for MacOS X, embedding the Sindarin dictionary tools.

The proper way to refer to this Sindarin dictionary, when you wish to quote it, is to call it Hiswelókë's Sindarin dictionary. As it is still an evolving work, it is also recommented to cite the edition and the lexicon's version (for instance, "edition 1.9, lexicon 0.995").
