Description

Also included are paradigms of the Regular Qenya Verb conjugation associated with the "Qenya Lexicon" (Parma 12).

"Early Qenya Grammar" includes early writings on Qenya Phonology, together with the earliest complete Qenya Grammar, describing the forms and inflections of the Article, Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, Numbers, Pronouns, and Verbs.
