  • The first France quidditch cup has been an amazing sport event organized by the FQF (France Quidditch Federation). I have the chance to write my impressions about the two days event on an international online journal, the Quidditch Post. So if you want to know more about quidditch, or if you want to be updated about quidditch events all around the world, follow the link.
    A special thanks to Andy Mermer that reviewed my article.

    For tengwar caracters I use the Tengwar Formal font. If you are not able to see tengwar writings but only a strange sequence of nonsense like this [hÍNtF5%` RzEt#aVjtH `Cw#7R,], please download and install it. Thank you :)

    Quidditch basical terms were translated in a previous post. Now more technical terms will be analyzed and translated from quidditch to quenya.

    Goal line =     1)tixë tëa,
                from tixë “point, dot” tëa “straight line, road”
    1TcR 1R`C
                            2)tëa cormaron,
                literally “rings line”
    1R`C aY6t#6Y5

    Starting line = yesta tëa
                from yesta “beginning” tëa “straight line, road”
    hÍV81R`C 1R`C
    Keeper zone line = peler tirno tëa
                where I prefer to use tirno instead of cormatirno
    qVj$6 1T65H 1R`C

    Mid field line = endya tëa,
                from endya “middle”
    `V2Ì# 1R`C
    Penality box = colca paimetánë
                from colca “box” and paimetánë that is the past tense of paimenta-“exact or inflict a penalty; punish”
    aNjaE qlEt$1E5$
    Highest goal post = arhalla corma
                from halla “tall” that with the suffix ar-  became arhalla “the tallest”
    `C69Cj°# aY6t#

    Lowest goal post = arsenna corma
                from senna “short” that with the suffix ar-  became arsenna “the shortest”
    `C6iF5#: aY6t#
    I translate this terms from quidditch to quenya for the image of a quidditch pitch made by Jørgen Helgeland Stenløkk. I also thanks Juliane Schillinger that make a first version of the translated pitch image.
    To translate also the length unit I decide to use the ranga (pl rangar is attested, 7Es#6), a Númenórean linear measure “slightly longer than our yard, approximately 38 inches [= 96.5 cm]“. –UT:285, 461.
    The basic meaning of ranga was “full pace”. Number are written using the elvish duodecimal number system.

    The proof that high elves know quidditch came from a simple evidence: if you try to translate the word "queerditch", the old name of quidditch, into Quenya (high elves tongue), the word that you obtain have the same sound.
    Quidditch (from Queerditch) = quamacelma 
                    from quama- “queer, vomit, (feeling) sick”; celma “channel, ditch, dyke or trench”
    zEt#aVjt#

    The high elves were the first on earth to give names to places and tings. I like to imagin the word Quidditch caming from Queerditch, the geographical name of the puddle where this sport were played for the first time. 

     International Quidditch Association = Yomenië Quamacelmo Ambaresse
                    from yomenië “association, organized group, meeting directed and organized by a group”; ambaresse “of the world” 
    hÍNtF5%` RzEt#aVjtH `Cw#7R,

     Broomstick = olwatussa 
                    from olwa “branch”; tussa “bush, broom grass” 
    `NjnD1J,E
    Brooms up! = á orta olwar!

    ~C `N61 `NjnE6Á

     Pitch = tyalapeler, 
                from tyal- “game” peler “fenced field”
    1EÍj#1Vj$6

     Seeker = Cestaro (pl. Cestari)
                from cesta- “To Seek/Search”
    aF81E7N

     Keeper = Cormatirno “guardian of the ring, ring watcher”
                from corma “ring”, tirno “watcher, guardian”
    aY6t#1T65H

     Chaser = Ronyo
    7Y5ÌH

     Beater = Palparo “beater”
    qDjqE7N

     Captain = hesto
    9V81H

     Ring = corma, pl. cormar
    aY6t#
    Quaffle = coron “ball”
