SWEET LINK! Thank you.– LexibleCommented Jul 20, 2020 at 15:27

2@Lexible - Eldamo is a great site if what you love is hard data on tolkien's languages, although it can sometimes be a bit unintuitive to navigate, and it's aimed at a more academic level than some people may be looking for. But it has everything currently known from Tolkien and it's all properly sourced and categorized.– ibidCommented Jul 21, 2020 at 10:06

@ibid There's actually a big problem with the Westron list: It includes genuine Rohirric (e.g. tûrac-) and some Northern Mannish (e.g. Trahald), labelling them as "archaic Westron". Meanwhile, Old English words are in the Rohirric category. The author gave his reasons (github.com/pfstrack/eldamo/issues/25) but still it needs improvement.– EugeneCommented Sep 30, 2021 at 2:51

1@Eugene - The purpose of the link in this answer is to show how to small the corpus fr Westron is. If some of those words aren't genuine Westron, then my point is stronger. Nonetheless if you have a link to an alternate wordlist I'll add it to the answer.– ibidCommented Sep 30, 2021 at 3:06

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
