~(Totally Made Up By Me) ELVEN GUIDE~

Afthuan - sot Aldu'elze, sot gorfu'elz.
'A riddle - not a bowmaker boy, not a man of the temple.'

Afthuan, Afthuil - Faerelz aveer. Othuul, fa ot avess.
'A riddle, answered - Less even than a foolish man. A phantom, and nothing more.'

Gorogor'nac - The 5kittering VVood.

Gorogor'denac - Not a 5pecific place. Rather, a home made in the 5kittering VVood. 'Denac' i5 ba5ically, 'home in the vvood.' Gorogor i5 the 5kittering part.

Gorogor'taenac - The deep depth5 of the 5kittering VVood - 'taenac' i5 pretty much 'vve don't go to thi5 part of the vvood5, vve ju5t Don't.'

Aldua'denac - 'Home of the bovvmaker5 in the vvood.' Out5ide of Gorogor'nac, thi5 5ettlement i5 called, in full, Gorogor-Aldua'denac, or Gor'aldu'nac if you're being informal. To up it a bit more, Gor'aldu't'nac i5 ba5ically + very rudely calling the elve5 there hick5 vvho for 5ome ungodly rea5on live in a place you really vvouldn't vvant to. If you're referring to everyone vvho live5 in Gorogor'nac, you'd call the place ju5t Gor't'nac.

Gorfuin'taenac - 'Old temple in the part of the vvood5 vve don't go to.'

Authuul - 'Thuul' i5 a complicated vvord, 5omething like 'vi5age' - the projected image of 5omething - but al5o like '5oul.' One vvay of interpreting Authuul could be 'A 5oul that'5 full of life.' It can be a vvay of 5aying 5omeone i5 healthy and energetic, or at it5 mo5t ba5ic, it mean5 '5omeone living' oppo5ed to Othuul, vvhich doe5n't mean dead - rather, it refer5 5oul5 vvithout life that are 5till pre5ent in the material vvorld.

Authuul i5 an odd vvord in that it feel5 kinda like you pronounce that one t tvvice, very briefly at the end of Aut and then for the th of thuul.
