The Osanwe-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. In the framework of the legendarium of Middle-earth, the text is a summary by an unnamed editor of a longer treatise by Pengolodh of Gondolin.
