Description
An Elvish Dictionary
Ithildin is a dictionary of the languages described in the work of JRR Tolkien. It is based on the Eldamo.org lexicon and contains a near-complete searchable vocabulary of those languages.
The original vocabulary presented in this application was conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien and compiled by the efforts of many, most notably Christopher Tolkien and the authors of Parma Eldalamberon and Vinyar Tengwar (Christopher Gilson, Carl Hostetter, Arden Smith, Bill Welden, Patrick Wynne, and others).
Paul Strack's Eldamo lexicon attempts to consistently organize that material, which adds up to many thousands of words in nearly fifty languages. This app is meant as a handy tool to search and access this vocabulary.
Features:
- very comprehensive: contains the complete Eldamo.org vocabulary (48 languages)
- searching for either Elvish words or English translations
- several search modes: wildcard (diacritic-insensitive), strict (diacritic-sensitive), begin- and end-of-word matching (useful to find rhyming words), verbatim and regular expressions
- includes community-created words (neo-Sindarin, neo-Quenya)
- roots, archaic words, community-contributed words and word reliability (is a word attested or speculative) are indicated by color coding
- tapping a word opens a detail screen with glosses, examples, inflections, changes, cognates, elements, related words, variations and notes (when available)
- where applicable: tapping a linked word in a detail category or the notes opens the detail screen for that word
- configuration settings are stored locally in the app until changed
- no internet connection is required
Planned are:
- other translations besides English (most likely German and French first)
- UI internationalization
- option to add user-created vocabulary
- option to share user-created vocabulary with other users
- extras like an Elvish / Shire calendar, star- and constellation names
If you want to know more about these languages: their grammar, phonology or history, or about scripts like Tengwar and many other resources, we kindly refer to https://eldamo.org and the Vinyë Lambengolmor server on Discord.

Ratings and Reviews
Ithildin
This app is really pretty good. It, however, is NOT comprehensive. Keep on working it, please!! Thanks!!
Elvish
A wonderful app for anyone really wanting to learn Elvish and have a quick and easy guide to reference for words and phrases! It has a very inclusive range of Elvish languages, and even has some other Tolkien languages as well!❤️
English to Elvish
This app would be perfect if it also had the feature of translating English to Elvish rather than just Elvish to English. Make this happen and you can bet that the rating will go up!
