- Hello fellow madmen... :)
-
- Excuse me for taking up some valuable space in this group by asking
- something not exactly related to mr J.R.R himself.
-
- This is the case:
-
- I'm a member of a guild within the Swedish Tolkien Society (Forodrim),
- and as a memeber thereof (new member) I will have to pick an alias to
- go with my character. This alias will then be used during special
- meetings and live roleplaying and so on. That is why I want to pick an
- alias that is as "correct" as possible, i.e. an alias with meaning and
- spelled out in Elven tounge.
-
- The name I had in mind was "Dark-fire", a kind of paradox in itself but
- a name to go with both Tolkien's world and other mythology where a fire
- always turns blue and dark when a warlock goes by. Any free translation
- into (Quenya..?), like -The fire that goes dark- or -Fire goes dark by
- magic- et.c. will do. (But preferrably as grim as possible. He He.. 8> )
-
- Assignment: * Translate "Dark-fire" into Tengwar writing. (Quenya..?!)
- (And include the equivalent in Human tounge as well,
- "Mor-xxxx" or whatever it turns out to be. :> )
-
- * Alternativly, if somebody knows how, a translation into
- the dark tounge of Mordor.
-
- --- Why not both? ;) ---
-
- PS! I read some time ago about someone that claimed to have compiled a
- list of some thousand words in Elven tounge, ring any bell?.
- That list and other works as Grammatics or whatever you have spilled
- your sweat into compiling, I would be VERY greatful to at least hear
- about!
-
- Please forgive and correct any misconceptions regarding languages in Middle
- earth.
-
- Your servant forevermore,
-
- "Dark-fire"
