Post Quenya - Whose
on: June 19, 2017 05:27
I'm currently doing the Quenya lessons and arrived at lesson 19 which considers among other things question words.
Some of the question words are considered to be likely, however I do not see the word whose.
If for instance I would like to say:
"Whose is the grey horse?" or "To whom belongs the grey horse?"
how could this be said.

Would a correct (though speculative) translation be:
maniva ná i sinde rocco?
Or would something else be more likely.

I would use manava or manwa as both mana- and man- are valid stems for the question word.
