Larry, I don't know why Google didn't pull up this post -- sorry about
that! Well, maybe my post will be a good supplement, bringing in the
primary world JRRT was working in. My take on the languages as
mentioned is that they are difficult to get into but valuable -- the
whole root of the secondary world is in them. I think they do enhance
the story quite a bit, even for a non-linguist.
