Elfique...

[helen99]

Sometimes I find strange things when surfing around, such as Elves in France. For some reason I looked up the Tolkien Phrase "Elen Sila Lummeni Omentielvo" and got a number of French hits. I learned today that the French word for "Elvish" is "Elfique".

Elfique! Heeheehee!!! I'm not sure why that tickles but it does.

Anyway, I did another search on "Elfique", and got this site:

http://www.elfique.com

Wherein it says, after you click on the spash image,

"Bienvenue,

Elfique.com est un site traitant de sujets divers et variés qui tiennent à coeur les gens de notre espèce, poèmes, textes, images... voilà ce que vous trouverez ici" (etc.)

"Namarië,
Ringarion - Haut Elfe de Tiamat - webmaster du site"

Goodness. "Haut Elfe de Tiamat"?

Note to thewronghands... "Elfique" isn't so distant from French after all...

Mmmm... High Elf of Tiamat.

Yes, my smattering of French allowed me to interpret it - that's why I did a double-take. It was somehow startling to see the convergence of "Elfique", Sumerian, and French all in one place. It seems sort of illegal...

Or at least something not to be done in front of polite company ;-)
