Chart compiled by Laurel based on the articles of Helge K. Fauskanger in the hopes of p roviding a more easily understood and usable
format. This encapsulated form of Fauskanger s system is based on what we know at this time and may change as more information
becomes available. For more detailed explanations regarding Sindarin verb conjugation, refer to the articles. Special thanks to GildorInglorian for his lessons that helped to explain some of the concepts expressed; to Naneth for all her help and for proofreading, editing, an d
posting in CoE; and to Veaglarwen for her time and efforts to convert it into PDF.
