A few years ago, I had some phrases translated into Elvish using an online website. I can’t find that now. Help? I don’t recall which elven language it was -I understand that there are several. Can anyone please help me get some phrases translated? I want not just the words but the alphabet too. Thanks! ---

I found and tried the first and the vocab is extremely limited and no grammar help I could find. The second did not come up in my search but I think it may be the site I used before so thank you!! Anyone here want to check my grammar? Anyone speak any Elvish? ---
