Translation request

I'm looking to translate a concept of a temporary waypoint for a human soul to rest after death but before reaching the halls of Mandos. It should be in Sindarin. I've found Echadh i Fae as a rough translation, but I'm wondering if there's something that could capture that concept as a single word (noun)? Thanks in advance!

Hello Sarah! I am trying to figure out Echadh? There is hadh- which means to sit. and then there is sedh- which means to rest.

You could use post n. “pause, halt, rest, cessation, respite”.

Post-e-Fae (Respite of the Spirit) could work for a location name.

Thanks, Rinor. I found Echad or Echadh as "camp" here: www.elfdict.com

Ah, got it so with S. Echad I Sedryn loc. “Camp of the Faithful” it is an old source.

You might use tham "hall". So Tham-i-Fae/Tham i Fae that would be Hall of the Spirits.

Faetham Spirit Hall

Post-i-Fae Respite of the Spirits

Faebost Spirit Respite

I really like Faebost, thanks for the suggestion! How do I pronounce it?

So pronunciation can very person to person as we all pronounce things differently. I will include the IPA as well.

• F = F
• ae (a͡ɛ) is most like i in English time. ae is similar to ai, but ai ends at a less open vowel height. J.R.R. Tolkien said that ae and ai can be pronounced the same if a person cannot tell the difference between them.
• b = b
• o (ɔ) the Sindarin o is most like o in English hot, but with rounder lips. It can also be pronounced like the o in the Italian word notte. Either pronunciation is suitable, but it never has a w off-glide like ow in English show.
• s = s Sindarin s is always pronounced like s in English safe, and never like s in English ease. There is no z in Sindarin.
• t = t

Thanks!

I decided to go with "Faebost" for this concept. What would the singular and plural be? Thanks again for your help!

Your welcome, faebost would be singular and faebyst would be plural.

Thanks!
