I saw the elvish dictionary by the Grey Company. I noticed in one of the examples that "ni" was used for our "and". When I looked it up, "ar'" was used. Which one is correct? Also, if it is "ar'", do you append the word you're looking to add or leave a space between the two?( Would it be " ar'edanrim" or " ar' edanrim"?)

I have a printed copy. Ni means to weep so it seems unlikely to me that they'd use it.
How does the language account for the words "to do" and "to be able"? I'm not finding it anywhere!

I have got that one myself - printed even. I have not used it much, though.

Unless it is explained in the somewhat short section on the grammar of the language, I suppose finding examples in Silmarillion, The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings is the only safe way to find out. As far as I remember however, there are not really any hard rules about how to do things. There are many alternatives and most are acceptable. So in the example with 'and' you could probably use both. They might just be synonyms.

It's a secret! *chuckle* One of the members of the silver Marches PBeM found it first, but I think you might be able to find it on the Grey Company's site...

Here is the site for you, my dear Anoron'Quessir.Enjoy
