Syntax
I need everyone to understant the syntax before we start:
[ad]verb
(pro)noun
([adjective])
lets do 'flaming' for the verb... nàro (à = hold alt press on the num pad 1 3 3 then release alt) and 'Collonor'(me) for the noun.. Collonor and brightly for the adjective.... ril so "nàro Collonoril"(from Collonor-ril) is 'Collonor is burning brightly' (lovely eh?) . Any adverbs or pronouns will not affect how the syntax is formed. When you do not know the name of something, always refer to what it is. in the case of a man, refer to him as 'heru' / lord in the case of a woman, refer to her as 'wen' / maiden

Something interesting to know: Orodruin, Mt.Doom is translated directly from Orod(mountain) + Ruin(doom). :-)

Vocabulary Expansion
be (if something is, it will be)= t- (prefix [it goes before the word it attaches to])
yes/indeed = tanca
you = à
from = o
I = ni
I am = Im
is = na
for = ten(or avi-(prefix) which means for what/for whom)
me = nillo
him = so/ero
they = an
he = ano
