Trace back to the origin of ancient elvish language
So, in that earliest age of innocence, under the shadow of stars and water, what was the language created by Kuwein's elves? We know a lot about its phonetic system and derivation methods, but we don't know much about its exact grammatical structure. Judging from the sub-languages that people think have the least change, namely Kunya and Telerelin, Gukundi is a case language; Tolkien explicitly mentioned ending in -da (Battle of Jewels: 366). As for the general format of this primitive language, most words are composed of two or three syllables and end with vowels. In VT 39: 6, Tolkien explained that in Kunya, "if we consider the origin of Kundi a long time ago, all words ending in consonants are probably because vowels have disappeared." (However, some words reconstructed by Tolkien end with consonants, but there are not many such words, and words with asterisks in front may not necessarily show the oldest form of language. ) The characteristic of ancient elvish language is that it often ends with a long vowel, such as lind? "Sweet voice" or "land". In a three-syllable word, the first two vowels are often the same (such as "red" in Carani), and in many cases, the last vowel is the same as the first two, but both are long sounds (such as eredê“seed "and galad? "Tree", "Silver"? golod? "Nuo Duo"). According to VT 39: 6, disyllabic vowels with one sound in the middle probably do not often appear in the original language. In Kunya, this form of consonant has disappeared. After Tolkien reconstructed the language, at least one such sandwich vowel combination survived: i ê; According to his later thoughts, we can assume that this represents an earlier *ihe or *i? E, and then the consonant in the middle disappears.

In the catalogue of Poké mon Diamonds, Christopher? Tolkien called Kunya "an ancient language, and all the * * * languages of the elves came directly from Varino. But the real "old saying" is obviously different from the later Kunya language in many places, and even the word Kunya should be counted as a whole. Indeed, it is so neat and simple to distinguish the pronunciation changes between Gukundi and orthodox advanced elvish. A Kunya user can understand this ancient language with a little training, instead of "learning" like learning a foreign language. But even so, the ancient language is still very strange to him, and it will be difficult for him to regard it as a variant of his own language. However, Norodom Elves still believe that Kunya "retains most of the features of ancient elvish language. ""(Battle of Jewels: 374). In fact, the most traditional language should be Telerelin in Amish, at least in phonetic system-but Telerelin is sometimes regarded as a dialect of Kunya, although Telerelin elves themselves think it is an independent language.
