galad is softly mutated from calad in that word, there is no nasal mutation there thus gilgalad and not gilchalad which would only be with a nasal before
But also in Galadriel thus both... chalad sounds nicer....

Why easier?
In Gilgalad its clearly easier softly mutated, but the word IS Calad... at least I used the calad-form (->a-chalad) and not galad (->a-ngalad)

Yeah yeah yeah phoey, most elves use the nasal one galad, though might be calad, it sounds more like galad, and that's how Phillipa, Fran, and PJ did it.

they S A Y Gilgalad because his name IS Gilgalad but for the construction of the name Tolkien used the words gil+calad which together makes gilgalad - in Sindarin, the consonants at the beginning of a word change when put together with an other word
so together with gil it makes c -> g
but together with an it makes c -> ch because n is a nasal and L is a liquid which causes soft mutation instead of nasal mutation depends on the word not on the speaker

Birthday would be "Nostrad" or "Nostor" in Sindarin, in Quenya "Nosta".
I do not speak Elvish, just to clear that. I know some words and some grammar and can write a bit, but I can not really speak, some words or phrases perhaps, but not more. I started all that about two or one-and-a-half years ago, but never really learned; I started several Sindarin- and two Quenya-courses, I think, but until today I only finished one quite simple Sindarin-course which didnt teach much. At the moment I'm working on some Sindarin course I quite like and I think I'll restart one of the Quenya-courses again as I forgot practically everything. For translating something, I usually need a dictionary, especially for Quenya which is an enormous language.
