Hara mariessë meldonyar !
For my first post here I wanted something that could be useful and so I decided to share some work I have done after reading an article on elvish linguistic, " "Sindarin" is a Quenya Word: how the clan names make Elvish more confusing.
I gathered the informations below after reading this article but also checking a Telerin word list on Sindanoorie.net an another article on Tolkiendil (a french website) about the Vanyarin tongue, "À quoi ressemble le Vanyarin ?" if you want to go and check out. Also, the words marked with ¹,²... are suppositions I made.

If this topic interested you, I think I will publish more about the others clans of elves. If you have some corrections or observations to give, please do, I would love to discuss elvish languages !
Notes on some personal construction of words.
1. Here I assumed that "Vania" worked as the word "Linda (plurial Lindai)"
2. The article "À quoi ressemble le Vanyarin ?" propose -ei or -í for nominative plural, compare with the form "Ñoldolí".
3. Vanyarin and Noldorin being close languages and not seeing information against the form of the word, I supposed that "Minyarinwa" would work as an adjective for something of the Vanyar.
4. I assumed that Falmarin would be a bit affected by Noldorin tongue as they interacted a lot with each other before the kinslaying, thus I made the Falmarin adjective nearly as if it was Noldorin. I'm not sure about this one however.
5. Again, as for "Minyarinwa" I assumed Vanyarin and Noldorin tongue would work the same.
6. As I couldn't find the Sindarin word for the Vanyarin tongue I supposed the word would be the same as the Sindarin adjective describing something of the Vanyar, "Midhren".
