True! And I know I am just littering these TABA LOTR connections aren't I! If you accept those exceptions why not myn? (hehehe) myne kind of destroys the purpose of the y though...might as well keep the i if the e remains  ...I shall think on this...

Yes but when you have myne, it sort of resembles my right? Is your goal to shorten the word or to make it more akin to my? hehe . We could go further.. let's make my - mi (like bi, hi etc) and leave mine as it is

But mi looks like mih not mai...I just like the y I think...I don't think it gets out enough!

Ah no rejection of a lovely letter for you then! I think it is incredibly underused and must feel very lonely...(much like the green smiley Luke ) maybe I should learn Polish in order to more fully appreciate its "awesomeness" (to quote Jack Black!)

Or you and Elifit could create a Tolkien-esque
language of your own based on "Y". If Hawai'ian has
only twelve letters in its alphabet, I am sure the
two of you could do wonders. You've already had
ever conceivable combination of myne.

Hmm that is a definite possibility! I once had afriend who learnt how to speak Tolkien's Elvish with her brother...it was scary how good they were at it and they used to switch between the two languages (english and elvish) during conversations or when they didn't want to be overheard...I was taught a bit by them but I forget most of it now when I try to use it

I think it would be sort of fun.
Esperanto...another.
Klingon..and another.
But Elvish would rank first in my interest.

Okay all these posts have whetted my apetite for Tolkein. I saw one movie but have not read any of the books. I think it is time to remedy that. Would "the hobbit" be a good place to start? Also what is TABA?
