She is elvish 🙂
She lives in gondolin, and escapes its downfall then moves to numenor and later arnor.

sorry, hînen, but a list of words, like a dictionary, does not help you learn a language. you need grammar rules and context, pronunciation and inflection, culture, and then the elvish script, to learn the language.
councilofelrond.com helped me. try it. i do believe itz the best one there is for grammar structure.

Exactly;
But somehow nobody seems to respect that 😐
The writing systems are maybe to *so* important - though with them one understands everything a lot better as they already show you the main phonology of the languages -, but the rest is essentially... unfortunately, many websites offer those wordlists, but there are nearly no good grammars to be found.
Councilofelrond is a good collection and also gives loads of examples ✅

However, Elvish seems to have a ton of irregular verbs and odd phrasing, making it quite difficult to "translate".

😄 irregular verbs... not as many as most living languages maybe, but still numerous ones, and many that *are* regular but in quite a strange way ^^

No, it's actually mostly Tolkien "elvish" this time, but indeed a mixture of Quenya and Sindarin... though it's nearly only Sindarin 🙂
Still one of the best listings that were posted here in KMC 😄 but what use is a one-sided dictionary not even defining what type the words are, like verb - or noun? ... not really always clear in english 😬

Ae? Wasn't it aew? 😕 I thought ae was "*if"
... ambar is for example one of the quenya words 🙂
