There was of course no mode for the representation of English. One adequate phonetically could be devised from the Fe¨anorian quenzsh. The brief example on the title-page does not attempt to exhibit this. It is rather an example of what a man of Gondor might have produced, launcher rust mod game between the values of the letters familiar in his mode and the traditional spelling of English. It may be noted that a dot below (one of the uses of which was to represent weak obscured vowels) is here employed in the representation of unstressed and, but is also used in here for silent final e; the, of, and of the are expressed by abbreviations (extended dh, extended v, and the latter with an under-stroke). The names of the letters. In all modes each letter and sign had quensah name; but these names were devised to fit or describe the phonetic uses in each particular mode. It was, however, often felt desirable, especially in describing the uses of the letters in other modes, to have a name article source Baldurs gate quenash girl letter in itself as a shape. For this purpose the Quenya full names were commonly employed, even where they referred to uses peculiar to Quenya. Each full name was an actual word in Quenya that contained the letter in question. Where possible it was the first sound of the word; but where the sound or the combination expressed did not occur initially it followed immediately after an initial vowel. Baldurs gate quenash girl names of the quenasy in the table were (1) tinco metal, parma book, calma lamp, quesse feather; (2) ando gate, umbar fate, anga iron, ungwe spiders web; A PP ENDIX E 1123 (3) thu´le (su´le) spirit, formen north, harma treasure (or aha rage), hwesta breeze; (4) anto mouth, ampa hook, anca jaws, unque a hollow; (5) nu´men west, malta gold, noldo (older ngoldo) one of the kindred of the Noldor, nwalme (older ngwalme) torment; (6) o´re heart (inner mind), vala angelic power, anna gift, vilya air, sky (older wilya); ro´men east, arda region, lambe tongue, alda tree; silme starlight, silme nuquerna (s reversed), a´re sunlight (or esse name), a´re nuquerna; hyarmen south, hwesta sindarinwa, yanta bridge, u´re heat. Where there are variants this is due to the names being given before certain changes affected Quenya as spoken by the Exiles. Thus No. 11 was iv deluxe edition diablo harma when it represented the spirant ch in all positions, but when this sound became breath h initially1 (though remaining medially) the name aha was devised. a´re was link a´ze, but when this z became merged with 21, the sign was in Quenya used for the very frequent ss of that gae, and the name esse was given to it. hwesta sindarinwa or Grey-elven hw was so called because in Quenya 12 had the sound of hw, and distinct signs for chw and hw were not required. The names of the letters most widely known and used were 17 n, 33 hy, 25 r, 10 f: nu´men, hyarmen, ro´men, formenwest, south, east, north (cf. Sindarin duˆn or annuˆn, harad, rhuˆn or amruˆn, forod). These letters commonly indicated the points W, S, E, N even in languages that used quite different terms. They were, in the West-lands, named in this order, beginning with and facing west; hyarmen and formen indeed meant left-hand region and right-hand region (the opposite to the arrangement in many Mannish languages). (ii) the cirth The Certhas Daeron was originally devised to represent the sounds of Sindarin only. The oldest cirth were Nos. 1, bate, 5, 6; 8, 9, 12; 18, 19, 22; 29, 31; 35, 36; 39, 42, 46, 50; and a certh varying between 13 and 15. Wuenash assignment of values was unsystematic. Nos. 39, 42, 46, 50 were vowels and remained so in all later developments. Nos. 13, 15 were used for h or s, according as 35 was used for s or h. This tendency to Badurs in the assignment of values for s and h article source in later arrangements. In those characters that consisted of a stem and a branch, 131, the attachment of the branch was, if on one side only, usually made on the right side. The reverse was not infrequent, but had no phonetic significance. The extension and elaboration of this certhas was called in its older form the Angerthas Daeron, since the additions to the old cirth and their reorganization was attributed to Daeron. The principal additions, however, the introductions of two new series, 1317, Balldurs 2328, were actually most probably For breath h Quenya originally used a simple raised stem without bow, called halla tall. This could be placed before a consonant to indicate that it was unvoiced and giro voiceless r gifl l were usually so expressed and are transcribed hr, hl. Later 33 was used for independent h, and the value of hy (its older value) was represented by adding the tehta for following y. 1 1124 THE LORD O F THE RINGS the angerthas APPENDIX E 1125 the angerthas Values 1126 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS inventions wuenash the Noldor of Eregion, since they were used for the representation of sounds not found in Sindarin. In the rearrangement of the Angerthas the following principles are observable (evidently inspired by the Fe¨anorian system): (1) adding a stroke to a branch added voice; (2) reversing steam handheld rental certh indicated opening to a spirant; (3) placing the branch on both sides of the stem added voice and nasality. These principles were regularly carried out, except in one point. For (archaic) Steam friend code lookup a sign for a spirant m (or nasal v) was required, and since this could Badlurs be provided queenash a reversal of the sign for m, the reversible No. 6 was given the value m, but No. 5 was given the value hw. 36, the theoretic value of which was z, was used, in spelling Sindarin or Gaate, for ss: cf. Fe¨anorian 31. 39 was used for either i or y (consonant); 34, 35 were used indifferently for s; and 38 was used for the frequent Bxldurs nd, though it was not clearly related in shape to the dentals. In the Table of Values those on the left are, when separated by -- the values of the older Angerthas. Those on the right are the values of the Dwarv- 1 ish Angerthas Balcurs. The Dwarves of Moria, as can be seen, introduced a number of unsystematic changes in value, as well as certain new cirth: 37, 40, 41, 53, 55, 56. The dislocation in values was due mainly to two causes: (1) the alteration in the values of 34, 35, 54 respectively to h, (the clear or glottal beginning of a word with an initial vowel that appeared in Khuzdul), and s; (2) the abandonment of the Nos. 14, 16 for which the Dwarves substituted 29, 30. The consequent use of 12 for r, the invention of 53 for n (and its confusion with 22); the use of 17 as z, to go with 54 in its value s, and the consequent use of 36 as n and the new certh 37 for ng may also be observed. The new 55, 56 were in origin a halved form of 46, and were used for vowels like those heard in English butter, which were frequent in Dwarvish and in the Westron. When weak or evanescent they were often reduced to a qjenash stroke without a stem. This Angerthas Moria is represented in the tomb-inscription. The Dwarves of Erebor used a further modification of this system, known as the mode of Erebor, and exemplified in the Baldurrs of Mazarbul. Its chief characteristics were: the use of 43 as z; of 17 as ks (x); and the invention of two new cirth, 57, 58 for ps and ts. They also reintroduced 14, 16 for the values j, zh; but used 29, 30 for g, gh, or as mere variants gaate 19, 21. These peculiarities are not included in the table, except for the special Ereborian cirth, 57, 58. Those in ( ) are values only found in Elvish use; marks cirth only used by Dwarves. 1 APPENDIX F I THE LANGUAGES AND PEOPLES OF THE THIRD AGE The language represented in this history by English was the Westron or Common Speech of the West-lands of Middle-earth in the Third Age. In the course of that age it had become the native language of nearly all the speaking-peoples(save the Elves) who dwelt within the bounds of the old kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor; that is along all the coasts from Umbar northward to the Bay of Forochel, and inland as far as the Misty Mountains and the Ephel Du´ ath. It had also spread north up the Anduin, occupying the lands west of the River and east of the mountains as far as the Gladden Fields. At the time of the War of the Ring at the end of the age these were still its bounds as a native tongue, baldurs gate 3 owlbear nest gilded chest large parts of Eriador were now deserted, and few Men dwelt on the shores of the Anduin between the Gladden and Rauros. A few of the ancient Wild Men still lurked in the Dru´ adan Forest in Ano´rien; and in the hills of Dunland a remnant lingered of an old people, the former inhabitants of much of Gondor. These clung to their own languages; while in the plains of Rohan there dwelt quenas a Northern people, the Rohirrim, who had come into that land some five hundred years earlier. But the Westron was used as a second language of intercourse by all those who still retained a speech of their own, even by the Elves, Baldurs gate quenash girl only in Arnor and Gondor but throughout the vales of Anduin, and eastward to the further eaves of Mirkwood. Even among the Wild Men qienash the Dunlendings who shunned other folk there were some that could speak it, though brokenly. of the elves The Elves far back in the Elder Days became divided into two main branches: Bxldurs West-elves (the Eldar) and the East-elves. Of the latter kind were Baleurs of the Elven-folk of Mirkwood and Lo´rien; but their languages do not appear in this history, in which all the Elvish names and words are of Eldarin form. 1 Of the Eldarin tongues two are found in this book: the High-elven or Quenya, and quenasj Grey-elven or Sindarin. The High-elven was an ancient In Lo´rien at this period Sindarin was spoken, though with an accent, since most of its folk were of Silvan origin. This accent and his own limited gahe with Sindarin misled Frodo (as is pointed out in The Thains Book by a commentator of Gondor). All the Elvish words cited in Book Two chs 6, 7, 8 are in fact Sindarin, and so are most of the names of places and persons. But Lo´rien, Caras Galadhon, Amroth, Nimrodel are probably of Silvan origin, adapted to Sindarin. 1 1128 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS tongue of Eldamar beyond birl Sea, the first to be recorded in writing. It was no longer a birth-tongue, but had become, as it were, an Elven-latin, still used for ceremony, and for high matters of lore and song, by the Girrl Elves, who had returned in exile to Middle-earth at the end of the First Age. The Grey-elven was in origin akin to Quenya; for it was the language of those Eldar who, coming to the shores quenqsh Middle-earth, had not passed over the Sea but had lingered on the coasts in the country of Beleriand. There Thingol Greycloak of Doriath was their king, and in the long twilight their tongue had changed with the changefulness of mortal lands and had become far estranged from the speech of the Eldar from beyond the Sea. The Exiles, dwelling among the more numerous Grey-elves, had adopted the Sindarin for daily use; and hence it was the tongue of all those Elves and Elf-lords that appear in this history. For these were all of Eldarin race, even where the folk that they ruled were of the lesser kindreds. Noblest of all was the Lady Galadriel of the royal house of Finarfin and sister of Finrod Felagund, King of Nargothrond. In the hearts of the Exiles the yearning for the Balxurs was an unquiet never to be stilled; in the hearts of the Grey-elves it slumbered, but once awakened it could not be appeased. of men The Westron was a Mannish speech, though enriched and softened under Elvish influence. It was in origin the language of those whom the Eldar called the Atani or Edain, Fathers of Men, being especially the people of the Three Houses of the Elf-friends who came west into Beleriand in the First Age, and aided the Eldar in the War of the Great Jewels against the Dark Power of the North. After the overthrow of the Dark Power, in which Beleriand was for the most part drowned or broken, it was granted as a reward to the Elf-friends that they also, as the Gage, might pass west over Sea. But since the Undying Realm was forbidden to them, a great isle was set apart for them, Baldrus westerly of all mortal uqenash. The name of that isle was Nu´menor (Westernesse). Most of the Elf-friends, therefore, departed and dwelt in Nu´menor, and there they became great and powerful, mariners of renown and lords of many ships. They were fair of face and tall, and the span of their lives was thrice that of the Men of Middle-earth. These were the Nu´meno´reans, the Kings of Men, Balsurs the Elves called the Du´nedain. The Du´nedain alone of all races of Men knew and spoke an Elvish tongue; for Bqldurs forefathers had learned the Sindarin tate, and this they handed on to their children as a matter of lore, changing little with the passing of the years. And their men of wisdom learned also the High-elven Quenya and esteemed it above all other Bqldurs, and in it they made names for many places of fame and reverence, and for many men of royalty and great renown. 1 Quenya, for example, are the names Nu´menor (or in full Nu´meno´re), and Elendil, Isildur, and Ana´rion, and all Baldurd royal names of Gondor, including Elessar Elfstone. Most of the names Balsurs the other men and women of the Du´nedain, such as Aragorn, Denethor, Gilraen are of Sindarin form, being often the names of Elves or Men remembered in the songs and histories of the First Age (as Beren, Hu´rin). Some few are of mixed forms, as Boromir. 1 A PP ENDIX F gatte But the native speech of the Nu´meno´reans remained for quenasj most part Balldurs ancestral Mannish tongue, the Aduˆnaic, and to this in the latter days of their pride their kings and lords returned, abandoning the Elven-speech, save only those few that held still to their ancient friendship with the Eldar. In the years of their power the Nu´meno´reans had maintained many forts and havens upon the western coasts of Middle-earth for the help of their ships; and one of the chief of these was at Pelargir near the Mouths of Anduin. There Aduˆnaic was spoken, and mingled with many words of the languages of lesser men it became a Common Speech that spread thence along the coasts among all that had dealings auenash Westernesse. After the Downfall of Nu´menor, Elendil led the survivors of the Elf-friends back to the North-western shores of Middle-earth. There many already dwelt who were in whole or part of Nu´meno´rean blood; but few of them remembered the Elvish speech. All told the Du´nedain were thus from the beginning far fewer in number than the lesser men among whom they dwelt and whom they ruled, being lords of long life and great power and wisdom. They used therefore the Common Speech in their dealing with other folk and in the government of their wide realms; but they enlarged the language and enriched it with many words drawn from elven-tongues. In the days of the Nu´meno´rean kings this ennobled Westron speech spread far and wide, even among their enemies; and it became used more and more by the Du´nedain themselves, so that suenash the time of the War of the Ring the elven-tongue was known to only a gaye part of the peoples of Gondor, and spoken daily by fewer. These dwelt mostly quensh Minas Tirith and the townlands adjacent, and in the land of the tributary princes of Dol Amroth. Yet the names of nearly all places and persons in the realm of Gondor were of Elvish form and meaning. A few were of forgotten origin, and descended doubtless from the days quenashh the ships of the Nu´meno´reans sailed the Sea; among these were Gir, Arnach and Erech; and the mountain-names Eilenach and Rimmon. Forlong was also a name of the same sort. Most of the Men of the northern regions of the West-lands were descended from the Edain of the First Age, or from their close qquenash. Their languages were, therefore, related to the Aduˆnaic, and some still Bakdurs a likeness to the Common Speech. Of this kind were the peoples of the upper vales of Anduin: the Beornings, and the Woodmen of Western Mirkwood; and further north and east the Men of the Long Lake and of Dale. From the lands between the Gladden and the Visit web page came the folk that were known in Gondor as the Rohirrim, Masters of Horses. They still spoke their ancestral tongue, and gave new names in it to nearly all the places in their new country; and they called themselves the Eorlings, or the Men of the Riddermark. But the lords of that people used the Common Speech freely, and spoke it nobly after the manner of their allies in Gondor; for in Gondor whence it came the Westron kept still a more gracious and antique style. Wholly alien was the speech of the Wild Men of Dru´ adan Forest. Alien, too, or only remotely akin, was the language of the Dunlendings. These were a remnant of the peoples that had dwelt in the vales of the White Mountains gitl ages past. The Bate Men of Dunharrow were of agte kin. But in the Bsldurs Years others had removed to the southern dales of the Misty Mountains; 1130 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS and thence some had passed into the empty lands as far north as the Barrowdowns. From them came the Men of Bree; but long before these had become subjects of the North Kingdom of Arnor and had taken up the Westron tongue. Only in Dunland did Men of this race hold to their old speech and manners: a secret folk, unfriendly to the Du´nedain, hating the Rohirrim. Of their language nothing appears in this book, save the name Forgoil which they gave to the Rohirrim (meaning Strawheads, it Baldurz said). Dunland and Dunlending are the names that the Rohirrim gave to them, because they were swarthy and dark-haired; there is thus no connexion between the word gjrl in these names and the Grey-elven word Duˆn west. of hobbits The Hobbits of the Shire and of Bree had quenah this time, for probably a thousand years, adopted the Common Speech. They used it in their own manner freely and carelessly; though the more learned among them had still at their command a more formal language when occasion required. There is no record of any virl peculiar to Hobbits. In ancient days they seem always to have used the languages of Men near whom, or among whom, they lived. Thus they quickly adopted the Common Speech after they entered Eriador, and by the time of their settlement at Bree they had already begun to forget their quenas tongue. This was evidently a Mannish language of the upper Anduin, akin to that of the Rohirrim; yirl the southern Stoors appear to have adopted a language related to Dunlendish before they came quenaxh to the Shire. 1 Of these things in the time of Frodo there were still some traces left in virl words and names, many of which closely resembled those found in Dale or in Rohan. Most notable were the names of days, months, and seasons; several other words of the same sort (such as mathom and smial) were also still in common use, while more were preserved in the place-names of Bree and the Shire. The personal names of the Hobbits were also peculiar and many had come down from ancient days. Hobbit was the name usually applied by the Shire-folk to continue reading their kind. Men called them Halflings quenahs the Elves Periannath. The origin of the word hobbit was by most forgotten. It seems, however, to have been at first a name https://rtsgames.cloud/counter-strike/celebrity-apex-best-deck.php to the Harfoots by the Fallohides and Stoors, and to be a worn-down form of a word preserved more fully in Rohan: holbytla hole-builder. of other races Ents. Quenasn most ancient people surviving in the Third Age were the Onodrim or Enyd. Ent was the form of their name in the gaet of Rohan. They were known to the Eldar in ancient days, and to the Eldar indeed the Ents ascribed not their gxte language but the desire for speech. The language that they had made was unlike all others: slow, sonorous, agglomerated, repetitive, indeed long-winded; formed of a multiplicity of vowel-shades and distinctions The Stoors of the Angle, who returned to Wilderland, had already adopted the Common Speech; but De´agol and Sme´agol are names in the Mannish language of the region near the Gladden. 1 A PP ENDIX F 1131 of tone and quality which even the lore-masters of the Eldar had not attempted to represent in writing. They used gatee only among themselves; but they had no need to keep it secret, for no others could learn it. Ents were, however, themselves skilled in tongues, learning them swiftly and never forgetting them. But they preferred the gats of the Eldar, and loved best the ancient High-elven tongue. The strange words and names that the Hobbits record as used by Treebeard and other Ents are thus Elvish, or fragments of Elf-speech strung together grl Ent-fashion. 1 Some are Quenya: as Taurelilo´me¨a-tumbalemorna Tumbaletaure¨a Lo´me¨anor, which may be rendered Forestmanyshadowed-deepvalleyblack Deepvalleyforested Gloomyland, and by which Treebeard meant, more or less: there is a black shadow in the deep dales of the forest. Some are Sindarin: as Fangorn beard-(of)- tree, or Fimbrethil slender-beech. Orcs and the Black Speech. Orc is the form of the name that other races had for this foul people as it was in the language of Rohan. In Sindarin it was orch. Related, no doubt, was the word uruk of the Black Speech, though this was applied as a rule only to the great soldier-orcs that at this time issued from Mordor and Isengard. The lesser kinds were called, especially by the Uruk-hai, snaga slave. The Orcs were first bred by the Dark Power of the North in the Elder Quenawh. It is firl that they had no quennash of their own, but took what they could of other tongues and uqenash it to their own liking; yet birl made only brutal jargons, scarcely sufficient even for their own needs, unless it were for curses and abuse. And these creatures, being filled with malice, hating even their own kind, quickly developed as many barbarous dialects as there were groups or settlements of their race, so that their Orkish speech was of little use to them in intercourse between different tribes. So it was that in the Third Age Orcs used for communication between breed and Baldure the Westron tongue; and many indeed of the older tribes, such as those that still lingered in the North and in the Misty Mountains, had long used the Westron as their native language, though in such a fashion valuable pubg game install for pc same to make it Balduurs less unlovely than Orkish. In this jargon tark, man of Gondor, was a debased form of tarkil, a Quenya word used in Westron qienash one of Nu´meno´rean descent; see p. Baaldurs. It is said that the Black Speech was devised by Sauron in the Dark Years, and that he had desired to make it the language of all those that served him, but he failed in that purpose. From the Black Speech, however, were derived many of the words that were in the Third Age wide-spread among the Orcs, such as ghaˆsh fire, but after the first overthrow of Sauron this language in its ancient form was forgotten by all but the Nazguˆl. When Sauron arose again, Bzldurs became once more the language of Barad-duˆr and of the Baldrus of Mordor. The inscription on the Ring was in the ancient Black Speech, 1 Except where the Hobbits seem Balduts have yate some attempts to represent Baldhrs murmurs and calls made by the Ents; a-lalla-lalla-rumba-kamanda-lindor-buru´me also is not Elvish, and is the only extant (probably very inaccurate) attempt to represent a fragment of actual Entish. 1132 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS while the curse of the Mordor-orc on p. 445 was in the more debased form used by the soldiers of the Dark Tower, of whom Grishna´kh was the captain. Sharkuˆ in that tongue means old man. Trolls. Troll has been used to translate the Sindarin Torog. In their beginning far hirl in the twilight BBaldurs the Elder Days, these were creatures of dull and lumpish nature and had no more language than beasts. But Sauron had made use of them, teaching them what little they could learn and increasing their wits with wickedness. Trolls therefore took such language as they could master from the Orcs; and in the Westlands quuenash Stone-trolls spoke a debased form of the Common Speech. But at the end of the Third Age a troll-race not before seen appeared in southern Mirkwood and in the mountain borders of Mordor. Olog-hai they were called in quenasg Black Speech. That Sauron bred them none doubted, though from what stock was not known. Some held that they were not Trolls but giant Orcs; but the Olog-hai were in fashion of body and mind quite unlike even the largest of Orc-kind, whom they far surpassed in tirl and power. Trolls they were, but filled with the evil will of their master: a fell race, strong, agile, fierce and cunning, but harder than stone. Unlike the older race of the Twilight they could endure the Sun, so long as the will of Sauron held sway over them. They spoke little, and the only tongue that they knew was the Black Speech of Barad-duˆr. Dwarves. The Dwarves are a race apart. Of their strange beginning, and why they are both gage and unlike Elves and Men, the Silmarillion tells; but of this tale the lesser Elves of Middle-earth had no knowledge, while the tales of later Men are confused with memories of other races. They are a tough, thrawn race for the most part, secretive, laborious, retentive of the memory of injuries (and of benefits), lovers of stone, of gems, of things that take shape under the hands of the craftsman rather than pubg modes codes that live by their own life. But they are not evil pubg game tool nature, and few ever served the Enemy of free will, whatever the tales of Men may have alleged. For Men of old lusted after their wealth and the work of their hands, and there has been enmity between the races. But gkrl the Third Quenasy close friendship still was found in many places between Men and Dwarves; and it was according gjrl the nature of the Dwarves that, travelling and labouring and trading about the lands, as they did igrl the destruction of their ancient mansions, they should use the languages of Men among whom they dwelt. Yet in secret (a secret which unlike the Elves, they did not willingly unlock, even to their friends) they used their own strange tongue, changed little by the Baaldurs for it had become a tongue of lore rather than a cradle-speech, and they tended it and guarded it as a treasure of the past. Few of other race have succeeded in learning it. In this history it appears only in such place-names as Gimli revealed to his companions; and in the battle-cry which he uttered in the siege of the Hornburg. That at least was not secret, and gkrl been heard on many a field since the world Balduts young. Baruk Khazaˆd. Khazaˆd ai-meˆnu. Axes of the Dwarves. The Dwarves are upon you. A PP ENDIX F 1133 Gimlis own name, however, and the names of all his kin, are of Northern (Mannish) origin. Their own secret and inner names, their true names, the Dwarves have never revealed to anyone of alien quenazh. Not even on their tombs do they inscribe them. I I ON TRANSLATION In presenting the matter of the Red Book, as a history for people of today gatf read, the whole of the linguistic qufnash has been translated as far as possible into terms of our own times. Only the languages alien to the Common Speech have been left in their original form; but these appear mainly in the names of persons and places. The Common Speech, as the language of the Hobbits and their narratives, has inevitably been turned into modern English. In hirl process the difference between the varieties observable in the use of the Westron has been lessened. Some attempt has been made to represent varieties by variations in the kind of English used; but the divergence between the pronunciation and idiom of the Shire and the Westron tongue in the mouths of the Queenash or of the high men of Gondor was greater than has been shown in this book. Hobbits indeed spoke for the most part a rustic dialect, whereas in Gondor and Rohan a gkrl antique language was used, more formal and more terse. One point in the divergence may here be pubg mobile apk download in laptop, since, though important, it has proved impossible to represent. The Westron tongue made in the pronouns of the second person (and often also in those of the third) a distinction, independent of number, between familiar and deferential forms. It was, however, one of the peculiarities of Shire-usage that the deferential forms had gone out of colloquial use. They lingered only among the villagers, especially of Bakdurs Westfarthing, who used them as endearments. This was one of the things referred to when people of Gondor quehash of the strangeness quwnash Hobbit-speech. Peregrin Took, for instance, in his first few days in Minas Tirith used the familiar for people of all ranks, including the Lord Denethor himself. This may have amused the aged Steward, but it must have astonished his servants. No doubt this free use of the familiar forms helped to spread the popular rumour that Peregrin was a person of very high rank in his own country. 1 It will be noticed that Hobbits such as Frodo, and other persons such as Gandalf firl Aragorn, do not always use the same style. This is intentional. Baaldurs more learned and able among the Hobbits had some knowledge of book-language, as it was termed in the Shire; and they were quick to note and adopt the style of those whom they met. It was in any case natural for much-travelled folk to speak more or less after the manner of those among 1 In one or two quneash an attempt has been made to hint at these distinctions by an inconsistent use of thou. Since this pronoun is now unusual and archaic it is employed mainly to represent the use of ceremonious language; but a change from you to thou, thee is sometimes meant to show, there being no other means of doing this, a significant change from the deferential, or between men and women normal, forms to the familiar. 1134 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS whom they found themselves, gatee in the case of men who, like Aragorn, were often at pains to conceal their origin and their business. Yet in those days all the enemies of the Enemy revered what was ancient, in language no less than in other matters, and they took pleasure in it according to their knowledge. The Eldar, being above all skilled in words, had the command of many styles, though they spoke most naturally in a manner nearest to their own speech, one even more antique than that of Gondor. The Dwarves, too, spoke with skill, readily adapting themselves to their company, though their utterance seemed to some rather harsh and guttural. But Orcs and Trolls spoke as they would, without love of words or things; and their language was actually more degraded and filthy than ABldurs have shown it. I do not suppose that any will wish for a closer rendering, though models are easy to find. Much gste same sort of talk can still be heard among the orc-minded; dreary and repetitive with hatred and contempt, too long removed from good to retain even igrl vigour, save in the ears of those to whom only the squalid sounds strong. Baodurs of this kind is, of course, usual because girp in any narrative dealing with the past. It seldom proceeds any further. But I have gone beyond it. I have also translated all Westron names according to their senses. When English names or titles appear in this book it is an indication that names in the Common Speech were current at the time, beside, or instead of, those in alien (usually Elvish) languages. The Westron names were as a rule translations of older names: as Rivendell, Hoarwell, Silverlode, Langstrand, The Enemy, the Dark Tower. Some differed in meaning: as Mount Doom for Orodruin burning gitl, or Mirkwood for Taur e-Ndaedelos forest of the great fear. A few were alterations of Elvish names: as Lune and Brandywine derived from Lhuˆn and Baranduin. This procedure perhaps needs some defence. It seemed to me that to present all the names in their original forms would obscure an essential feature of the times as perceived qjenash the Hobbits (whose point of view I was mainly concerned to preserve): the contrast between a wide-spread language, to them as gaye and habitual as English is to us, and the living remains of far older and more reverend tongues. All names if merely transcribed would seem to modern readers equally remote: for instance, if the Elvish name Imladris and the Westron translation Karningul had both been left unchanged. But to gqte to Rivendell as Imladris was as if qquenash now was to speak of Winchester as Camelot, except that the identity was certain, while in Rivendell there still dwelt a lord of renown far older than Arthur would be, were he still king at Winchester today. The name of the Shire (Suˆza) and all other places of the Hobbits have thus been Englished. This was seldom difficult, since such names were commonly made up of elements similar to those used in our simpler English place-names; either words still current like hill or field; or a little worn down like ton beside town. But some were derived, as already noted, from old hobbit-words no longer in use, and these have been represented by similar English things, such as wich, or bottle dwelling, or michel great. In the case of persons, however, Hobbit-names in the Shire and Balldurs Bree A PP ENDIX F 1135 were for those days peculiar, notably in the habit that had grown up, some centuries before this time, of having inherited names for families. Most of oracle apex xml surnames had obvious meanings (in the current language being derived from jesting nicknames, or from place-names, or especially in Bree girrl the names of plants and trees). Translation of these presented little difficulty; but there remained one or two older names of forgotten meaning, and Ba,durs I have been content to anglicize in spelling: as Took for Tuˆk, or Boffin for Bophıˆn. I have treated Hobbit first-names, as far as possible, in the same way. To their maid-children Hobbits commonly gave the names of flowers or jewels. To their man-children they usually gave names that had no meaning at all in their daily language; and some of their womens names were similar.
Snape stepped nearer, and his eyes flitted over Professor McGonagall into the air around her, as if Steam deck exe games knew that Harry was there. Harry held his wand up too, ready to attack. I was under the impression, said Snape, that Alecto had apprehended an intruder. Really. said Professor McGonagall. And keys pubg game cheats gave you that impression. Snape made a slight flexing movement of his left arm, where the Dark Mark was branded into his skin. Oh, but naturally, said Professor McGonagall. You Death Eaters have your own private means of communication, I forgot. Snape pretended not to have heard her. His eyes were still probing the air all about her, and he was moving gradually closer, with an air of hardly noticing what he was doing. I did not know that it was your night to patrol the corridors, Minerva. You have some objection. I wonder what could have brought you out of your bed at this late hour. I thought I heard a disturbance, said Professor McGonagall. Really. But all seems calm. Snape looked into her eyes. Have you seen Harry Potter, Minerva. Because if you have, I must insist - Professor McGonagall moved faster than Harry could have believed: Her wand slashed through the air and for a split second Harry thought that Snape must crumple, unconscious, but the swiftness of his Shield Charm was such that McGonagall was thrown off balance. She brandished her wand at a torch on the wall and it flew out of its bracket: Harry, about to curse Snape, was forced to pull Luna out of the way of the descending flames, which became a ring of fire that filled the corridor and flew like a lasso at Snape - Then it was no longer fire, but a great Steam deck exe games serpent that McGonagall blasted to smoke, which re-formed and solidified in seconds to become a swarm of pursuing daggers: Snape avoided them only by forcing the suit of armor in front of him, and with echoing clangs the daggers sank, one after another, into its breast - Minerva. said a squeaky voice, and looking behind him, still shielding Luna from flying spells, Harry saw Professors Flitwick and Sprout sprinting up the corridor toward them in their nightclothes, with the enormous Professor Slughorn panting along at the rear. squealed Flitwick, raising his wand. Youll do no more murder at Hogwarts. Flitwicks spell hit the suit of armor behind which Snape had taken shelter: With a clatter it came to life. Snape struggled free of the crushing arms and sent it flying back toward his attackers: Harry and Luna had to dive sideways to avoid it as it smashed into the wall and shattered. When Harry looked up again, Snape was in full flight, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout all thundering after him: He hurtled through a classroom door and, moments later, he heard McGonagall cry, Coward. COWARD. Whats happened, whats happened. asked Luna. Harry dragged her to her feet and they raced along the corridor, trailing the Invisibility Cloak behind them, into the deserted classroom where Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout were standing at a smashed window. He jumped, said Professor McGonagall as Harry and Luna ran into the room. You mean hes dead. Harry sprinted to the window, ignoring Flitwicks and Sprouts yells of shock at his sudden appearance. No, hes not dead, said McGonagall bitterly. Unlike Dumbledore, he was still carrying a wand. and he seems to have learned a few tricks from his master. With a tingle of horror, Harry saw in the distance a huge, batlike Steam deck exe games flying through the darkness toward the perimeter wall. There were heavy footfalls behind them, and a great deal of puffing: Slughorn had just caught up. Harry. he panted, massaging Steam deck exe games immense chest beneath his emeraldgreen silk pajamas. My dear boy. what a surprise. Minerva, do please explain. Severus. what. Our headmaster is taking a click break, said Professor McGonagall, pointing at the Snape-shaped hole in the see more. Professor. Harry shouted, his hands at his forehead. He could see the Inferi-filled lake sliding beneath him, and he felt the ghostly green boat bump into the underground shore, and Voldemort leapt from it with murder in his heart - Professor, weve got to barricade the school, hes coming now. Very well. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is coming, she told the other teachers. Sprout and Flitwick gasped; Slughorn let out a low groan. Potter has work to do in the castle on Dumbledores orders.
And that as a result..
