	<LEFT>I put together this page to provide links to sites I've found helpful in researching Tolkien's work.  Because ff.net strips even partial URLs from stories, it has become impossible to give proper credit to these sites.<BR><BR>
Note:  Links verified 04/22/2007.  In two cases, I've linked to the Wayback archive because the page no longer exists.  I think most of the essays are in the archive, but if you can't find something, contact me at erunyauve at comcast.net - I've saved a lot to disk.<BR><BR>

Click on the 'Sindarin' tab or 'Le Dictionnaire Sindarin'.  There are English, French and German versions and various formats for online use or download.  This dictionary is a labor of love.
