[page 7] _Editor's Note_: Silmarien o Laurelen is presently a student at Michigan State University under her Common Speech name, Virginia Dabney. She has been studying physics, linguistics, and psychology for several years. As an elf of sone note among us, I requested her to write this article and we sincerely hope that a more expanded version can presented at the upcoming Tolkien Conference in October.
