So im writing a song with the band, tis a great song with a couple tolkien references (though they dont know it) in the lyrics. But ive decided when we record it for the demo i want to put a female choir in the bridge singing in elvish. So can someone more knowledgeable tell me exactly how to pronounce:

pella i eleni, pella i ëar

any help would be appreciated. I expect my grammar or whatever is wrong too...

Ok I'll try, correct folks if I am wrong:

pella (pell-ah) i (ee) eleni (ell-n-ee)

pella i ear( ay-ahr)

(Sorry, too stupid to do umlaut or trema or diaresis or thing and my dear husband keeps putting my french keyboard back to English and I always forget how to reset it...)

And don't forget to let us hear the song when it's recorded. :D
