I recently bought your Codex Regiu...Dear Mr. Möhn,<br /><br />I recently bought your Codex Regius' excellent book Words of Westernesse.<br />I first want to highly compliment your work on adûnaic, and even more your reconstructed system of the primitive Atani roots, which underlines the patterns of human languages in an unexpected way. I did not suspect that Tolkien might have been that thorough in the genealogical building of the whole of the human languages.<br />However, I would much like to learn a bit more about Westron grammar, of which you mention some of the aspects and rules, but only quoting them in comparison to other human languages. I suspect that your book did not mention all the grammatical information you knew about Westron grammar, since it did not need to in order to make your points.<br />I would certainly not ask from you such a work as writing a new chapter presenting the Common Speech in detail, but as your texts heavily suggest, many unheard grammar rules about Westron are revealed in Lisa Star's Tyalië Tyelelliéva 17. I tried to find a copy of it or at least an article about Westron that would quote it and unveil all of its 'previously-unpublished' content.<br />You seem to possess a copy of Tyalië Tyelelliéva 17, whose content you quote and use in your book. May I ask you the favor to send me pictures of the pages related to Westron ?<br />Since my comment will be public, I will not mention my real name here and stay anonymous, but here is a 'trash'/secondary email-adress of mine, which you can use if you generously accept my request.<br />jerome.deuxieme2@gmail.com<br /><br />I would then gladly give you my thanks (and name) in a more propre way if you contact me.<br />Sincerely yours,Pengolodhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254965736807709155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529337909756090323.post-73897916390485594132023-07-01T23:07:52.356+02:002023-07-01T23:07:52.356+02:00Discordance is central in the modern theory that l...Discordance is central in the modern theory that lays best claim to approaching a true theory of general cognition to distinguishing purely classical mechanical systems that exhibit no intentional behaviors from ones that exhibit the intentional behaviors characteristic of what we call in humans metaphysical or libertarian freedom of volition. I will refer to the writings of Karl J. Friston on the paradigm of active inference where he outlines and justifies these claims with stochastic dyanamic systems theory and information theoretic frameworks, in addition to the stipulation of minimal criterion concerning the meaning of "things" and "entities". The idea is that agents, as it were, catabolize discord and use it to seed their volitions as they act in the presence or current of discord which unfold at successive scales of time as what we call in folk psychological parlance as plans, goals, visons, dreams, destinations, etc, adding "itinerancies" or novelty and creation (sub creation in a chistian theological vein) to their behaviors that is not present in the systems that are describable absent sources of discord such as those of classical mechanics. In this sense by including Melkor's discordant counterthemes into the harmonies of the other Valar and himself Er Iluvitar was enabling the condition of possibility of freedom of the will which is characteristic of living souls.Entanglement Witnessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529337909756090323.post-51275908838096844352023-04-06T15:03:23.632+02:002023-04-06T15:03:23.632+02:00Least retarded atheist:Least retarded atheist:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529337909756090323.post-73468519756334992432022-03-03T10:43:45.204+01:002022-03-03T10:43:45.204+01:00The point is valid but does not change the conclus...The point is valid but does not change the conclusion: Tolkien has calculated correctly after all.Lalaithhttps://lalaithmesp.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529337909756090323.post-57723381022122787742021-06-14T09:29:42.362+02:002021-06-14T09:29:42.362+02:00The problem with your calculation is the average l...The problem with your calculation is the average length of a tropical year is 365d 5h 48m 45s = 365.24219907407 d, rather than 365.2422 d. <br />So millennial deficit is 0.24219907407*1000-250+10=2.19907407 d = 2 d 4h 46m 40s, exactly Tolkien's number, rather than your 0.2422*1000-250+10=2.2000 dzioniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717516156768708288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529337909756090323.post-8425991474679687112020-07-14T19:59:20.164+02:002020-07-14T19:59:20.164+02:00"at the junction of the Great East Road and t..."at the junction of the Great East Road and the Greenway"<br />Rateliff rather quotes the "Northway", a road in the Shire.<br /><br />Thanks for your exciting blog that I've been reading for yearsJean-Rodolphe Turlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158260325174136092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529337909756090323.post-87366060595884270092020-03-31T18:27:12.940+02:002020-03-31T18:27:12.940+02:00Wow!
