The quote is from the book. In the movies we can only hear it being sung in Elvish as a tribute to the novel. The quote says: "I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." In the movie...

I was intrigued during my reading this week when I run into the meaning behind Fanuilos, and I thought it might be useful to lay out what Tolkien himself says across his linguistic papers. The pieces are scattered in several places, but once you put them together, the word turns into something...

Hello everyone, I’m looking for help with a translation into one of Tolkien’s Elvish languages — preferably Sindarin — for a tattoo I’m planning. The phrase I want to translate is: "One vow is to find you. One vow is to love you. Through death, I will follow you." I’ve tried using AI and...

Hey all, I would like to write some lyrics from a LOTR track from the transcript to the actual elvish letters: Estelio han – Estelio veleth. It is part of the song "Everstar" from The Two Towers. Any of you that can help with the Elvish transcription? Thanks so much!

I noticed while watching the LOTR movies that there are several references to Aragorn's elvish name "Estel" which means "hope". For instance, when Elrond is speaking to Arwen about Aragorn in TTT he says "Hope is gone. Hope is not coming back" (or something along those lines). I thought that...

So, I've set myself a task for a chapter I'm working on. I need to include a song sung by the elves. In order to make this, however, I need to know what the patterns are for elven songs of a religious nature, or of a more abstract meditational nature, like Galadriel's songs. (It may be I'm not...

Hello, I want to get a ring from Jans Henson, the company that made the One Ring for the movies. I want an Elvish inscription for my motto "After the darkest night, the sun always rises."

Hello all I am wondering if anyone here has an interest in a very real proposal of an Elvish Science & medicine. This proposal links the Secret Fire of Anor, which The Ainulindale says is 'with Illuvatar' and links it to The Ideal Form, The Philosopher's Stone, The Throne of God, The Monad...

In “The Houses of Healing” chapter Aragorn says: Does that mean Aragorn is part elvish?

Would anybody here know what the etymology of J-M Carpenter's Neo-Sindarin word *panna for "vowel" is?

So I found this image on Facebook and wanted to discuss it here So you know how Gollum says my precious over and over? Precious is one of the translations of the elvish word Maira, Maira is how we get Sauron’s original name Mairon. Mairon means “Precious”. If you get addicted to the ring you...

Hello all! I am a long time lover of LotR, but in my free time am getting more serious about my hobbies, one of which is trying to learn Sindarin. I'm hoping some of you may have suggestions or answers for me on what to do when I can't find a word in Elvish. For example, Honor. I'm working on...

Hi! I am new here so I'm sorry if I get to mess up and such, but going to the point; what would be some translations of the name Daniel in elvish, or in any other language really? All I've found is the sindarin translation😅

It is mostly referred to people who's first language isn't English but everyone feel free to contribute Have you ever noticed any words or phrases in any of Tolkien's languages that reminds you of any words in languages you know? I go first Arabic isn't my first language and I'm not by any...

Hello, It would mean a great deal to me if members could confirm that the attached picture correctly reads the names ‘Charlie’ and ‘Luka’ - and that both represent males. This will be my one and only ever tattoo and I wanted to ensure that it was right! Thank you Brig

I think why the hobbits had such an easy time resisting the ring was because of their magical essence. It gave them light side points and a natural resistance to the evil.

I am looking to do an engraving in high elvish language to commemorate a special date for a fellow Tolkien nerd for what would be January 9th 2023. I did a google search and would Hrívë be the proper month to engrave? Also, how do you say -love -I love you -A chance meeting
