I forgot about Nerdly. It makes more sense that it would be Nerdly, actually. |

Got a little bored during the discussion, but I think the punchline was worth it. |

People who can actually hold arguments about constructed languages++, I say. Melinyes. (Don't know any Sindarin -- that comes next, hopefully). |

Hehe, great comic.
Presumably, Azgor takes the -ath suffix from Argonath and Dagorath (king-stones and battles) and asumes it is a plural form unsuited for this occasion.
The form Balroeg seems better to me, as is derived from balch (cruel) & rhaug (), so one would need to change only the 'Rog' part of the word, becoming Roeg, thus Balroeg.
I however, whould advice to avoid the problem and the Quenya word Valarauko (from nwalya- (to torture) + rauko()), whose plural form is Valaraukar.
Problem solved :P
ps, You mean malanyes (1) (stem, Melme, Melnye for I love ('a' added to pronounce it) -S for he,she,it (another -S for 'them', but -SS doesn't exist)
you can add either an -A- or -E-, but afaik not an I.
Wow, that must be the longest post here ever, and noone is going to read it :P
(1) --> the first E should have a ' on it, and the second E a " the site doesn't like those. |

Good one.
(As for the second @? I'm glad he's not named. Personally, I hate *ley, for all values of *ley that are not Dudley. Borrowed jokes from other comics = teh newtscale lame.)

NICE.
Kernigh also gets cool points in my book for an esoteric but funny joke. |

When I hear or read "", the first thing I think about isn't LotR, it's Cave Story, and the big talking lunchbox character.
And I'm proud to say that. Suck it, LotR fans! |
