Usstan tlun taudl whol plynnithus draa draevalen. Nindol zhah natha poem wun Sindarin, lu' uss wun Quenya. . Shlu'ta dos llaar z'reninth nindel Ilythiiri zhah alur ulu trantz Elvish?
A Elbereth Gilthoniel (sindarin)
A Elbereth Gilthoniel,
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-díriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!
A Elbereth Gilthoniel!
o menel palan-díriel
le nallon sí di'nguruthos!
A tiro nin, Fanuilos!
--screw Drow.
Here's a quote (Quenya) from the Silmarillion. You'll recognize the name of a char in the KDS region.
A Túrin Turambar turún' ambartanen!
in Drow, that beautiful phrase is bastardized as follows:
gi Turin jabbuk d' haruk a haruk veldrukev!
Drow seems more akin to the Black Speech than Elvish...probably because the Dark Elves of the AD&D world are supposed to be dark and sinister and so forth. Interesting bit of trivia: dark elves are derived from the Norse Svartalfen--dark elves who lived underground, also known as gnomes or dwarves.
They didn't shoot purple lightning or have portable spheres of darkness, but they did forge things really well.
In closing, a Black Speech quote and translated into Drow:
Ash nazg durbatulúk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
and in Drow
Uss anth ulu ilstar mina jal, uss anth ulu ragar mina. Uss anth ulu sila mina jal lu' wun l' oloth valbyl mina
Which reminds me: Drow as it's spoken on the forums has no etymology to speak of. does it have different grammatical structure from English, as Sindarin and Quenya and even the Black Speech do?
No?
EHMTRUD!
