Here are a couple of links to an Elven Language Dictionary and Rune set that I found and modified to make more EQ Friendly. The dictionary was loosely based on tolkein Since EQ Elves are not Tolkein Elves I made some changes to those definitions. I have added a few terms by combining some of the words that were already there to make others that we needed especially the Intelligence Caster Classes, Magician, Enchanter and Wizard. It already had one for Necromancer. Yeah I know... I have way too much time on my hands... The insults section had some really nasty and vulgar insults in there... I removed those... I figured the Dark Elves have their own formal language why not the Light Elves as well...
So if you guys want it... well here it is.. If you would like make some changes in it let me know...

Linguistic notes for the dictionary
I added the following notes to the dictionary and uploaded a fresh copy...
Notes: Changing Tense on words that do not already have a past tense is done by adding "na" or "sa" to the end, whichever sounds better. Adding "ith" to an Elvish word is the equivalent of "ing" to an English (Common) word. Complex words can be made by combining two simpler ones. I have noticed that there are no units of measure in this dictionary. Perhaps we can come up with some and add them in… Whether we use metric equivs, English or use old biblical measurement terms for the base matters not. Would like to see us also come up with dictionaries for Dwarven as well and maybe a few of the other races… could be an interesting project. Halfling dictionary probably only has one word in it… Pie.
