Depends on which Elvish you mean. ;)
^That's Sindarin.
In Quenya, it would be yelde. (in names, it would be -iel, as in Uineniel, Daughter of Uinen).

"iell" is also a name suffix, but it can mean "daughter of" as well. :closedeyes:

A lot do end with -iel, you're right. ;) Lol, to me, Sindarin seems like more work! :P (All the mutations and such confuse me!) But i'm trying to learn it. Ethel linna nu elenath... :) (Tell me should you spot a mistake,Haldir. ;) )

Thanks! It's the sort of thing i tend to say off the top of my head, when i'm being poetic... :P But we're getting offtopic, i guess. Oh well, there's not too much more this thread can say about the Elvish word for daughter. ;)
