I take "defined" to mean "delineated" here.  There is a
brief sketch of its phonology and a few grammatical points at
http://www.scots-online.org/grammar/sse.htm .

In might the Feanorians / that swore the unforgotten oath
brought war into Arvernien / with burning and with broken troth.
and Elwing from her fastness dim / then cast her in the waters wide,
but like a mew was swiftly borne, / uplifted o'er the roaring tide.
