Ósanwe-kenta

Ósanwe-kenta

The Ósanwe-kenta or Enquiry into the Communication of Thought is a text by J. R. R. Tolkien, written as a typescript of eight pages, probably in 1960, published in Vinyar Tengwar (39) in 1998.

Within the legendarium of Middle-earth, the text is presented as a summary by an unnamed editor of the last chapter of the Lammas written by Pengolodh of Gondolin.

The subject-matter is "direct thought-transmission" (telepathy), or sanwe-latya "thought-opening" in Quenya. Pengolodh included it as last chapter to the Lhammas because of the implications of spoken language on thought-transmission, and since the Incarnates (Elves, and Men) use a spoken language, telepathy can become more difficult with time (cf. hröa).
