Shaped suffix
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to say something is x-shaped (heart-shaped, bear-shaped, etc.). Using polytranslator, when using a hyphen I get a different structure altogether for every substitution of x.
Oddly-shaped : Amrun
Bear-shaped: Graw Beorn
Friend-shaped: Mellon-dhîn
Heart-shaped: tûg gûr
Is there any consistent rule for this? How can I know if each or any of them are correct?
Apologies for any formatting issues, I'm using a phone.

Searching for a horse name
Hello everyone, I’m looking for a horse name in either Sindarin or Quenya. The horse I want to name has a very distinctive feature: its fur shimmers golden in the sun (we’re not sure but it’s possible that he has Akhal-Teke ancestry, for reference). Do you have ideas for a name that reflects this feature?
I was already thinking of Laurelin, but where I’m from, there’s a name for women that sounds very similar, and there’s the possibility that people will just mix it up.
Other ideas included Glawar or Anárion.
But do you have more ideas? It would be great to hear them! :)

Tattoo translation help
Hi,
So my brother and i wanted to have these 2 tattoo's to signify our love for the franchise and eachother.
I've used a translator I found online and it said that this was the right translation for both 'You have my sword' (left) and 'You have my axe' (right).
Is this correct? If not, what would the correct writing be of these phrases?
Thanks in advance!

Namaste! I create a Lord of the Rings Translation app and am Working on Hindi! Can anyone review the translations and see if it's working correctly?
I built this website with AI:
And since I find the Hindi language very interesting and beautiful, I decided to make it the second language of the site. Since I am a beginner, I can't tell how accurate it is.
Can anyone here beta test it a bit for me and let me know what sort of issues or problems you notice?
Thanks!

Tattoo verification
Hi! I'm hoping someone could help me verify the script for a tattoo I am planning on getting. As you can see the script is slightly different in the first screenshot (what is written large and then what is we directly beside amdir) Hoping someone could let me know which is correct or if there is even a more accurate result. Thank you!

"Elvellyn" - how is the y pronounced?
I found this word for "elf friends," but I'm not sure how the y is pronounced in this case. A little help?

Sindarin compound help requested
Greetings! I'm attempting to create an alias using Sindarin roots/morphemes related to my given name and astrological aspects. I've narrowed the English phrase down to "Sun-Crowned Man", and a rough Sindarin compound of ANORRÎDÎR (ANOR n. "Sun" + RÎ n. "wreath, garland" + DÎR n. "man"). However, even the basic linguistic rules fly over my head, and I'm unsure if Anorrîdîr is an appropriate and linguistically correct translation and compound. For example: Should the doubled "r" from the combination of ANOR and RÎ remain as long consonants, reduced to a single "r", or replaced with another letter/sound?
I've also considered different roots, such as CUL(U) adj. "golden red", GLAWAR n. "sunlight, golden light", GLOR adj. "golden", or MAL n. "gold"; or ADAN n. "man".
Any advice would be appreciated!
