Shameless Question Regarding Translation for Tattoo

But Gimilzagar didn't.

Is Vanessa Trump's White Powder Scare Real or Just 'Mere Allegation'? -  Progressive.org
 
The royal branch used Taliska
"Taliska" is not a thing. It was a thing, but it no longer is, in the canonical post-LotR Legendarium. Plus, its speakers were the houses of Bëor and Haleth, whereas post-LotR writings instead refer to "Bëorian & Hadorian" as similar while noting that "Halethian" was distinct, which again leaves no room for "Taliska", besides the fact that in the pre-LotR concept it was a "Danian" (later "Nandorin") language, unlike the distinct (i.e. unrelated to Elvish) languages which led to Adûnayân.
 
I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to post a question like this, but I am trying to accurately translate a Jackson quote for a sibling tattoo and am getting desperate, haha.

I would love to have:
  1. "You have my sword" translated into Quenya (which I don't think is possible?), I have found it translated into Sindarin here as "le annon vegil nín"
  2. "and you have my bow" into Sindarin, which I am guessing is similar to "le annon vegil nín"?
  3. "and my axe" in Khuzdul or Neo-Khuzdul
I am willing to commission these translations but cannot find anywhere that is willing to do this, please help.

That will be an awesome tattoo.

Well, whatever it's called, I couldn't call it Adunaic because Númenor didn't exist yet in the story.
