Cryptogram Game

[Confusticated]

A cryptogram is a phrase written out in code, where each letter is represented by another.

So if Y is code for A, then Y will be in place of A throughout the phrase.

This phrase is found in The Silmarillion:

'MGX, Q SWQSUW QA ZGW EQURQH,' GW

YHJNR, 'MGX KGQCUR MW UQEDWH KWHBW

ZGW LWPUQCK BPUPH, MGQ YPEEQZ OWWS

CK EQH WBWE ZGWJH QME HWPUT KWYCHW

AHQT ZGWJH WEWTX?...

Clue: a Noldo speaks

How do we know that which "cryptic symbol" is for which Alphabet of English. Like "Cryptic Q" can be for any Alphabet of the English letter. How do we know that which symbol is for which alphabet or how can we find that out?

G = H
W&N = E
Z = T
M = W
E = N
Q = O
U = L
R = D
H = R
X = Y
T = M
S = P
A = F
Z = T
J = I
Y = C
P = A
U = L
B = V
O = K
K = S
C = U
L = J
D = G
H = R


'why, o people of the noldor,' he
cried, 'why should we longer serve
the jealous valar, who cannot keep
us nor even their own realm secure
from their enemy?

No, they are in the correct order.
It is an exact quote out of my copy of the Sil.

And it concerns me that you figured it out so quickly, yet didn't post the answer....

 

[Aulë]

Oh yes, the SIV MJHG was mixed up. But the SIW MJHG was not...

Sorry, my bad.

Concerns you, why?
I didn't give the answer because I didn't have time to make another one.

Yes, I say stupid things sometimes...Just ignore me when I do.

And your answer was almost correct (spelt 'their' wrong once) but I'm not picky, so you're up.
