quenya_grammar1-1  Exercise 1: Phases of Quenya
===============================================

  Early Quenya (Qenya)  c. 1910 to 1920s   first version; much later replaced
  Middle Quenya         to about 1950      around The Lord of the Rings
  Late Quenya           c. 1950 to 1973    grammar changed little; the version
                                           this course teaches

Dates vary by source (Eldamo: Early 1910-1930, Middle to 1950, Late to 1973).

Why it matters: a word from an old list may have been replaced or changed in
the late language, so always ask which phase a form comes from before using it.
