I pick this one, knowing that I put my life in my hands. Ruth S Noel’s The Languages of Tolkien’s Middle-Earth was excellent for its time (1980) as an analysis of Tolkien’s invented languages; but there have been a lot of words and grammar found since then. Some of the people most interested in this topic are kind of, ah, intense on the subject, too. I have yet to find a lexicon on the topic that doesn’t have people screaming about it in the reviews, so I decided to go with my first impulse and just go with the book I’ve had for over thirty years.
I’ll be happy to hear any suggested alternatives, as long as you (generic) don’t scream at me over them. Sheesh.
