: The [[Etymologies]], I recon. It's the only root here with its own article; as it has no links, I really doubt its use. As it's a root, it's not used in any language ''an sich'', but rather as a building block; e.g. ''Alagon'' in [[Ancalagon]] and a [[Common Eldarin]] ''alak-wâ'' became [[alqua]] and [[alph]], "swan". -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 03:55, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Thanks, Ederchil, I'm not much of a linguist to be honest, I only came across this article by random... or fate? Is there a category just for roots of words? Maybe it should go in there?--[[User:Quidon88|Quidon88]] 11:25, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Hyarion, you made this page, any idea where its from? What language it is?--Quidon88 13:39, 3 March 2008 (EST)

The Etymologies, I recon. It's the only root here with its own article; as it has no links, I really doubt its use. As it's a root, it's not used in any language an sich, but rather as a building block; e.g. Alagon in Ancalagon and a Common Eldarin alak-wâ became alqua and alph, "swan". -- Ederchil 03:55, 4 March 2008 (EST)
