Sindarin Consonant Mutation Tool

Important: For words with roots that are “nd,” “mb,” or “ng,” you must input them as, e.g., “ngil,” “mbar,” etc., to get the correct results. Remember to double check as this may not capture everything.

Note: Tolkien’s description of Sindarin spelling implies that [j] only survived at the beginning of words in Sindarin, and became the vowel [i]. For this reason make sure to use [j] for those nouns to get the correct mutation. I am leaving the article i for now but will change all to reflect e in the near future.
