Sindarin and Quenya are the most famous fictional languages ​​, used by the British author J. R. R. Tolkien in his stories about his concept of the world of Middle-earth. They are spoken by the Elves living there. Tolkien was already in his early childhood with different languages ​​in contact, since he grew up in the care of a clergyman and thereby got to know Latin and Greek. He worked intensively with old legends and myths that had an influence on his stories.

Formation

The first language, invented the J. R. R. Tolkien, was the nonsense language " Nevbosh " which he had thought as a child. It was based on invented words, where you can clearly hear the English out basis. Tolkien had already employed in his early years with the development of the Gothic language. In 1912 Tolkien came to know the Finnish language and love, as he read the Finnish national epic Kalevala. Because he felt the Finnish phonetics as particularly beautiful, he decided to use them for the development of their own language. Quenya and Sindarin were the first developed by him for his own mythology languages.

" Typically, it began with the introduction and phonology, which was also scientifically its particular strength. He had learned this from his academic teacher Joseph Wright [ ... ] at his kitchen table learned Tolkien Ablautreihen until he mastered intuitive. He had, as contemporaries confirm an uncanny intuition for historical vowel changes that are more difficult to grasp than consonantal sound shifts. "

Tolkien left several encyclopedias and dictionaries with many words in Quenya or Sindarin, in which his approach one - as it were upside -working - reflects historical philologists; you can see it from the fact that the words are ordered in accordance with the linguistic roots. These were according to the prevailing view of his time not only to be understood theoretical constructs and as a synchronous existence of a proto-language. In his designing career, he was more successful than his discipline in the analytical Where this failed in the development of a proto-language, he went from the primitive Quendischen out as such a progressive and let it rise to a tree of languages. The invented words come primarily from a few areas: history, mythology, poetry, and naming. That he created corpus was all in all quite small and limited in the larger pieces to a few types of texts.

There are some poems and prayers which he has translated into both languages ​​. For example, the Lord's Prayer in Sindarin:

" Ae Adar nín i vi Menel no aer in · ENETH lín tolo i · Arnad lín caro the i · lin INNAS bo Ceven sui ve Menel. Anno strains sír i · mbas ilaurui vín ar diheno strains i · úgerth vin sui i gohenam di ai mín gerir strains úgerth. "

Language development

The Sindarin is part of a deployed family of languages. Originally, all elves of Middle Earth had in common a language that is referred to as primal or primitive Elvish Quendisch. It was only when they went to Valinor, this language split into several dialects. The Vanyarin of the Elves who went to Valinor and never returned to Middle-earth, the Noldorin Elves who returned with Feanor and the Telerin of the Elves, the late or never went to Valinor.

From one of these dialects, the Telerin, the Old Sindarin, which partially mingled with the language of the Noldor returned, from which eventually gave rise to the New Sindarin later developed into Middle-earth. It is the everyday language of the Elves. Sindarin learned, saying the Edain, the people of the three nations of the Elf-friends. It had a strong influence on their own language and many words have been incorporated into the common language of the people.

Characteristics

The Sindarin is a particularly sweet-sounding language. A major difference from the Quenya is the retention of the typical elvish letter combination 'th' that sound ' S' stands for. For example, in the name Ithildur ( p ), Isildur (Q. ). In Sindarin, changed itself the combination of sounds ' mb ' to ' b', ' nd ' to ' d' and ' ñg ' to ' g', while in Quenya their development as ' m' and 'n' led. S. 29 Example: Goldo ( p ), Noldo (Q. ) = Noldorelb ', Bar ( p ), Mar ( Q ) =, home ', Dangar ( p ), nancar - (Q. ) = turn away '.

Plurals

Plurals are formed in Sindarin by affection. Originally it was for the Elvish tongues a plural form by simply appending a '- i', as it is sometimes still practiced in Quenya. Example, for Quenya; atan, el ( sing. ) is atani in the plural, eli.

  • Thus, from
  • The vowel 'a' is here additionally two exceptions to this rule. Provided that in a monosyllabic word rubbing, liquid or nasal sound on the 'a' follows the 'a' is changed is ' ei ' or ' e' in some cases.

Phonology

The Phonology of the Sindarin has been constructed by JRR Tolkien in accordance with those of the Welsh language; therefore, the two languages ​​overlap in terms of their prosodic and phonotactic features. Influences on the sound structure of the Sindarin also practiced the Germanic languages, Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Old Icelandic from, and these are mainly in relation to grammar and especially the plural form of Sindarin to bear the strongly oriented to the Germanic umlaut.

Consonants

The Sindarin recognizes a total of 25 pulmonisch - egressive consonants that correspond with a few exceptions, those of the Germans, with 23 individual consonant phonemes and allophones of a single phoneme 2 more are to be distinguished.

Gemination

Some consonants of the Sindarin know the principle of gemination: you are at home or final position (but not in initial position ) of a lexeme ( word) spoken with double length: For example, the consonant [m ː ] ( doubled) is geminiert spoken, while its short form [m] is simply articulated.

In view of the associated with the gemination may change the syllable structure of those lexemes of Sindarin, in which geminates ( geminate consonant ) occur, it is important polysyllabische ( polysyllabic ) and monosyllabic ( one syllable ) lexemes to be distinguished:

  • In polysyllabischen lexemes of Sindarin geminates (not the same in both positions but naturally ) occur either at home or in final position:
  • In monosyllabic lexemes geminates can only occur in final form here and, accordingly, the coda of the syllable of the lexeme; a change in the syllable structure is not done by the geminates in monosyllabic words of the Sindarin therefore.

The performance to a consonant gemination of the Sindarin are:

  • The voiceless labiodental fricative [ f], the geminiert only medially and thus transcribed exclusively in polysyllabischen lexemes with the digraph ⟨ ph ⟩ can occur as [f ː ] (as an example of this apharch like skinny with the pronunciation [af ː arx ] and the importance dry serve )
  • The voiced lateral alveolar approximant [ l], the in- and much less doubled mainly in final position than [ l ː ] and then transcribed ⟨ ll ⟩ occurs ( for example, in Callon with the pronunciation [ kal ː ɔn ] and the meaning hero )
  • The voiced bilabial nasal [m ], which with ⟨ mm ⟩ transcribed as geminiertes [m ː ] both at home and in the final position takes a position (for example, in hammad with the pronunciation [ ham ː ad] and the importance of clothing, garment ) and
  • The voiced alveolar nasal [n ], which as with ⟨ nn ⟩ transcribed longer spoken [n ː ] - like [m ː ] - both at home and in the final position occurs ( such as in annon with the pronunciation [ to ː ɔn ] and the importance gate).

Vowels

Sindarin is a relatively vocal poor language: It has six monophthongs ( [ a], [ ɛ ], [i ], [ ɔ ], [ u] and [y ] ) and six diphthongs ( [ aɛ̯ ], [AI ], [Au ], [ ɛi̯ ], [ ɔɛ̯ ] and [ ui] ).

Monophthongs

Sindarin has, as the adjacent vocal trapezoid can be removed and has been mentioned six monophthongs (one vowels ), four front vowels ([A ], [ ɛ ], [ i] and [ Y] ) and two rear vowels ( [ ɔ ] and [u ] ) or both three unrounded ( [ a], [ ɛ ] and [ i]) as well as three rounded ( [ ɔ ], [ y] and [u ] ) vowels.

The monophthongs of Sindarin, both short ( for example, [ a] ) and long (for example, [a ː ] ) are spoken; a length discrimination of spoken vowels leads in the vocabulary of Sindarin - unlike the Germans - however, to a semantic distinction; thus are composed phonemic differences between short and long vowels of Sindarin.

Kurzmonophthonge get in the transcription of the Sindarin no diacritical mark, they can, if precision is required, but with a breve ( ˘ ) are identified: Generally the short vowels [ a], [ ɛ ], [i ], [ u ], [ be ɔ ] and [ y] this order so just ⟨ a ⟩, ⟨ e ⟩, ⟨ i ⟩, ⟨ u ⟩, ⟨ o ⟩ and ⟨ y ⟩ transcribed accordingly, consistent with a mark with breve ⟨ ă ⟩, ⟨ ĕ ⟩, ⟨ i ⟩, ⟨ ⟩ ŭ, ⟨ ⟩ and ⟨ y ⟩ ŏ would transcribed. An example of a word with short vowels provides ⟨ ⟩ or ⟨ adan adan ⟩ with the meaning of man and the pronunciation [ adan ].

Langmonophthonge get in the transcription of the Sindarin - unlike the Kurzmonophthonge - diacritical markings in every case; here between long vowels polysyllabischer ( polysyllabic ) and mono- syllabic ( monosyllabic ) lexemes (words) is sometimes distinguished:

  • Langmonophthonge polysyllabic words are marked with an acute accent ( '): [a ː ], [ ɛ ː ], [i ː ], [ u ː ], [ ɔ ː ] and [y ː ] are as vowels of a polysyllabic word so in this order ⟨ á ⟩, ⟨ é ⟩, ⟨ í ⟩, ⟨ ⟩ ú, ó ⟩ ⟨ ⟩ and ⟨ ý transcribed. As example of this, the word ⟨ ⟩ or ⟨ Dúnadan Dunadan ⟩ with the importance of Western man and the pronunciation [ du ː n ˌ adan ] may serve.
  • Langmonophthonge monosyllabic words are marked with a caret (^): [a ː ], [ ɛ ː ], [i ː ], [ u ː ], [ ɔ ː ] and [y ː ] are as vowels of monosyllabic word so in this order ⟨ â ⟩, ⟨ ê ⟩, ⟨ ⟩ î, û ⟨ ⟩, ⟨ ⟩ and ⟨ y ^ ô ⟩ transcribed. The word ⟨ ⟩ dûr with the pronunciation [ du ː r] and the meanings dark, dark, which is familiar to many from the composition of Barad- dur ( Dark Tower ), this may serve as an example.

Based on the classical philology can to mark the long vowels of Sindarin - regardless of whether they are Langmonophthonge mono- or polysyllabischer lexemes - a macron (¯ ) can be used: [a ː ], [ ɛ ː ], [i ː ], [ u ː ], [ ɔ ː ] and [y ː ] are then transcribed according as ⟨ ā ⟩, ⟨ ⟩ ē, ī ⟨ ⟩, ⟨ ⟩ ū, ō ⟨ ⟩ ⟩ and ⟨ ȳ.

Diphthongs

In addition to his six monophthongs Sindarin knows also six diphthongs, because of their emphasis on the first element ( vocal ) are to be classified as falling diphthongs: three diphthongs with [ a] as the first element ( [ aɛ̯ ], [AI ] and [ au] ) and each have a diphthong with the first element [ ɛ ] ([ ɛi̯ ] ) [u ] ([ ui] ) and [ ɔ ] ([ ɔɛ̯ ] ).

All diphthongs of Sindarin exist naturally from two kurzvokalischen elements because of phonotactic reasons, no diphthongs can be formed from langvokalischen elements: Thus, the vowel pair [au ], which consists of the short vowels [ a] and [u ], as a diphthong in one syllable be pronounced during a discussion of the combination of vowels [a ː u] as a diphthong in Sindarin is not possible, because it can not be articulated in a syllable ( instead, these are a hiatus ).

The diphthongs of Sindarin is based on the transcription characters of those vowels, from which they are composed, transcribed: For [ aɛ̯ ] is ⟨ ae ⟩ for [AI ] ⟨ ai ⟩ and [ ɛi̯ ] ⟨ ei ⟩ transcribed as [ui ] with ⟨ ui ⟩ and [ ɔɛ̯ ] is transmitted with ⟨ oe ⟩ into the Latin alphabet. The only exception is the diphthong [au ], which, if it is in the final position of a lexeme, with ⟨ ⟩ and aw otherwise the rule is transcribed in accordance with ⟨ au ⟩.

Accent

The Sindarin knows - similar to most Indo-European languages ​​- a dynamic accent to realize the emphasis of his words; in this dynamic accent is at once a word accent: The lexemes of the Sindarin words - as in English - accented by an intensification of breath pressure some of their syllables. The emphasis on the words of the Sindarin used is based on that of the most spoken languages ​​with dynamic word stress, is therefore highly dependent on the quantity of the syllable peak forming vowels and can be described by the Pänultimaregel of Latin or ancient Greek law of the Three More:

  • Disyllabic lexemes receive their emphasis is always on the penultimate syllable ( penultimate ); they are thus always Paroxytona.
  • The emphasis on three - and polysyllabic lexemes then falls on the penultimate syllable ( penultimate ), if this is naturally long - more than a Langmonophthong or a diphthong as a syllable peak has - or if they are closed - so consonantal auslautend - and the last syllable of the lexeme covered - so consonantal anlautend - is.
  • The emphasis on three - and polysyllabic lexemes falls in all other cases except the above- mentioned and especially on the last but two or antepenultimate syllable ( Antepänultima ) when it is short - so has a Kurzmonophthong.

Monosyllabic lexemes - like certain prepositions and articles - sometimes unaccented ( and look logically as clitics ) because they cause in Sindarin in the following words to them phonological mutations.

Anlautmutationen

A particular phonological feature of Sindarin that it has in common with the insular Celtic languages ​​such as Irish and Welsh are the Anlautmutationen occurring under certain circumstances; Here the word-initial consonant of each one Anlautmutation underlying word is articulated differently than in its original form or silenced completely. Due to the phonetic character -sound ratio of the Sindarin Anlautmutationen are not exclusively articulatory but also morphologically quite implemented, so that with the changed pronunciation of a word is accompanied by a change in notation as well. The Sindarin are five types of Anlautmutation known: a lenition, a Nasalmutation, a Plosivmutation, a Liquid mutation and a mixed mutation.

Lenition

As part of the lenition or lenition word-initial Fortes (such as [ p] or [m]) by a preceding vowel ( monophthong or diphthong ) as [i ] ( in Sindarin the definite article in the singular) to Lene corresponding to them ( such as [ b ] to [ p] or [v ] weakened [m]). The following table lists the risks associated with the lenition sound changes of Sindarin.

After the mutation rules is a anlautendes "s" ( [s ] ) through the lenition to an "h " ( [h ] ).

  • Sarn = "stone" is by prefixing the article " i" i- harn = " the stone "

But there is already a word " diuretic ". In order to distinguish them from each other, is mutated according to a different rule "H" ( [H] ) to "ch" ( [x]).

  • Harn = " helmet " is preceded by the article " i" i- charn = " helmet "

A well-known example of the non-application of lenition is the inscription on the gate of Moria:

" Pedo mellon a Minno! " - "Speak friend and come join us! "

Strictly speaking, would here " pedo vellon a Minno " are because the "m" ( [m]), the ( [ ɔ ] ) on the imperative " pedo " and thus in a vowel follows, to " v" ( [v ] ) would need to be lenited. Maybe this inscription is a special case because it is a mystery and the gate opens only when the word is correct, so " mellon " pronounced. S. 144-147

Nasalmutation

The Nasalmutation occurs when certain words in a nasal, such as " n" ( [n]) follow. It is initiated against for example, by the definite article in the plural, "in", the preposition "on" for by, for, about, by, with, or " dan ". The following table lists the risks associated with the Nasalmutation sound changes of Sindarin.

Plosivmutation

The Plosivmutation or stop mutation, which was mostly described by Tolkien as hard mutation - as their name suggests - triggered by words that end in a plosive such as " t" ( [ t]) or " d" ( [ d]) end. The following table lists the risks associated with the Plosivmutation sound changes of Sindarin.

Liquid mutation

The Liquid mutation is - as their name suggests - triggered by words that end in a liquid - ie a lateral as "l" ( [ l] ) or trills like " r " ( [r ] ) - end. As part of the Liquid mutation will include word-initial plosives to fricatives by previous Liquide. The following table lists the risks associated with the mutation Liquid sound changes of Sindarin.

Mixed mutation

The so-called mixed mutation has been only of a single text source, the " King's Letter", reconstructed, and was consequently not given by Tolkien as a general variant of the Anlautmutation; therefore, the following table that lists the problems associated with the mixed mutation phonetic changes, to be understood only as a rough overview of a possibly much more accurate structured mixed mutation. Trigger the mixed mutation may be the determinatorisch used possessive ' s (a ) "or Präpositionalkomposita with" ( i) n " such as " erin " ( or in = to ), " ben " (be n = consistent with the ), "nan " ( na n = to ) or " uin " ( o in = of the ).

Grammar

Here is an overview of the most striking features of the Sindarin grammar:

  • Sindarin contains as the insular Celtic languages ​​Anlautmutationen originally phonological origin, but later were often grammatically (eg: dae [ shadow ] → i Dhae [ Shadow ] ).
  • Plural formation is similar in German and partly in Welsh by umlauts (eg: amon [ hill ] → emyn [ several hills ] ).
  • Conjugation of verbs is similar to the German suffixes (eg: ped - [ speaking, root word ] → pedin Edhellen [ I speak Elvish ] ). Sindarin needs as well, such as Latin, no additional pronouns (ie Edhellen pedin literally means " speak Elvish ").

Noun (nouns and adjectives )

The nouns in Sindarin normally subject to a case, they change only from singular to plural. The same applies to adjectives. Temporal or spatial relationships are expressed by prepositions. Nevertheless, in the nominative nouns ( basic form ) from the accusative ( lenited form) differs

  • Example: TEW = letter → teithon Dew = I write a letter.

The plural form is done either by affection or by collectivization. Thus, from the star by = el attach a collective plural a starry host = elenath, so are all the stars. It represents a collective term for a certain kind of things or beings

  • Example: Perian = Hobbit or Halfling → ​​Periannath = halflings in their entirety ( collectively ) or the simple plural formation by affection Periain = Halflings.

Adjectives are distinguished by suffixes from the noun, ie by appending '- eb ', ' - s ', ' -ing ' or ' -ui '.

Superlative forms of the adjective are usually caused by a prefix. So is good maer = preceded by a ' to - ' Ammar = very good. Here it comes again to a volume adjustment so that from ' on - maer ' ' on - maer ' is. From saer = bitter, sour is anhaer = very acidic ( mutation s → h). This volume adjustments serve to ease pronunciation and give the word a softer sound.

Kasusrealisierung oblique case

The Kasusrealisierung oblique case ( ie those case that does not mean the subject of a sentence, which include the genitive or possessive, dative and accusative, unlike the nominative ) of the Sindarin is very different from the Kasusumsetzung oblique case in inflected languages ​​like German: Morphologically this case are not in fact in Sindarin; they are determined by the word order ( and inter alia certain mutations) identified.

The accusative case as the direct object, as already mentioned, characterized by the word order and the problems associated with the finite verb forms mutations:

  • Example: TEW = letter → teithon Dew = I write a letter.

The genitive can be read from the word order. The phrase " Erin Durin Aran Moria " means " the doors of Durin, King of Moria " and can accordingly be interpreted as " the Durinschen doors, Lord of Moria ."

In the early Sindarin of Doriath there were also the genitive endings '- a' and ' on', as in " Dagnir Glaurunga " ( Slayer Glaurung ) or " Nauglafring " ( dwarf collar). Originally was the Possesiv articles ' ena ' what usually before vowels to 'en' is and before consonants to ' nan ' or nasal mutation also to 'en'. Examples are " Cabed -en- Aras " (jump the deer ) or " Haudh -en- Ndengin " ( hill of the slain ). In the plural, it also gives you some designs with the simple plural article 'in', as in " Tol -in- Gaurhoth " (Island of the werewolves ). The possessive ending, was in Doriath also '- a' and the plural ' -ion '. Furthermore, there is still the possibility to express the genitive by the preposition ' Ana ', the most ' in ' or ' na ' emerges as a shortened form. For example, " smelled na heruin " ( Ross the mistress ) or " dagnir to Glaurunga " ( slayer of Glaurung ).

As the genitive also has the dative case ending not own. The objective genitive is almost equal to the dative. Thus, " aglar ' ni Pheriannath " ( glory to the Halflings ), these are the object of glory or praise.

Pronoun

There are several types of Sindarin pronoun, the final form is not clear. So an example sentence with a demonstrative pronoun is known, which is located in the inscription on the gate of Moria:

  • Celebrimbor o Eregion teithant i Thiw Hin ( " Celebrimbor of Eregion wrote the character this " ) and Im Narvi hain echant ("I Narvi these / those made ​​").

Thus, there are two different pronoun. Once sen ( pl. sîn ), which was to HIN by lenition and for " this " is, while hain as the plural form of han for "that" is so "those " means. Thus, the set statement: Celebrimbor of Eregion invented these characters and Narvi wrote those by whose default goal.

Personal pronoun is available as empathic basic form or as a suffix.

  • Two simple examples: Lasto beth nin = " Hear the word of mine (or mine) " and Lasto beth lammen = " Hear the words of my voice ( my voice ). "

Article

In Sindarin, there are different than in Quenya not only indicative of particle 'i' as an article but also a plural form 'in'. In addition, the singular article 'i' is often a Anlautveränderung or causes lenition in the following nouns. The plural article 'in' on the other hand is often a source of a Nasalmutation.

  • Singular i Aran = the king, plural in Erain = the Kings.
  • Anlautlenierung: mellon = friend, i = vellon friend.
  • Nasalmutation: Goldor = Noldorelb, i = goldeor the Noldorelb, i = ngoldor the Nolderelben.

Sometimes the articles are connected by a time -point or a hyphen with the following word.

  • For example, i · Aran, i- Aran, in - Erain, i · vellon, i- vellon or i- ngoldor ( in - Goldor, the ' ng ' is always pronounced together as it is a formerly independent sound which to begin a word a simple 'g' was ).

Article can be appended as suffixes to a preposition.

  • Preposition 'or' = above is mixed mutation to ' erin ' = on the / the / the / the singular and plural are the same here.

Verbs

The basic form of the verbs in Sindarin is as in Quenya a parent form, are attached to the different endings. We distinguish between derived (weak) verbs, so-called A - strains (, da -a, -ia, -na ) have a suffix and the root verbs (strong) verbs, which do not require any extra extension.

  • An example of derived verbs
  • An example of master verbs

Infinitive

The infinitive is formed with verbs derived by replacing the ending of a → o.

  • Examples: inflame lacha - =, = lacho to inflame; edra - = Open and edro = open.

For regular verbs is at the root a '-i' appended.

  • Examples: TIR = to look, Tiri = to look, cen - = see ceni = to see.

Special cases are here verbs that have an 'a' or 'o' in the word root, there it is transformed into 'e'.

  • Examples: call can- =, = ceni to call tol = come and teli = to come.

Imperative

The command form or imperative is usually formed by modifying or adding ' -o '. Just as Elrond in the Lord of the Rings Frodo says: " Frodo, tolo dan nan galad " ( "Come back to / into the light, Frodo !")

Styles of writing

J. R. R. Tolkien left even more of writing in Sindarin, which he wrote partly in Tengwarschreibweise.

About his love for the Scriptures, mutatis mutandis, Tolkien said:

" The invention of languages ​​is the foundation. The 'stories' were written more to create a world for the languages ​​than the reverse. For me, comes as First the name and then the story. I would prefer to, Elvish ' written. But such is a work like The Lord of the Rings' has been naturally processed and there was only so much 'language' is left as it was digestible for readers in my opinion. ( I now realize that many would have liked more of it. ) But is a large amount of linguistic material (besides the fact Elvish ' names and words ) in the book contained or expressed mythologically. For me anyway, it is largely an attempt to, linguistic aesthetic ', as I sometimes say to people who ask me what this is all about .' "

Examples of Elvish name

Elvish name may be formed in different ways. As simple words that have a fixed meaning, as compositions of two or more words or derivatives of words.

Furthermore have Elvish names are usually several meanings, and especially the names of persons who characterizing properties or far-reaching meanings for the fate of the wearer.

  • Example:

Feanor literally means " Fire Spirit " and is composed of Fea = "mind" and naur - or -nor = "fire" together. The name says a lot about Feanor himself, for he is not only a genius inventor ( " bright, creative spirit " ) but also very short tempered ( " fiery soul "). He made sure that the same ships were burned after his return to Middle-earth. Even his death from the injuries inflicted by a Balrog, and the fact that his body burned, because - it is said - his mind blazed so hot that his body burned to ashes, and like smoke it was blowing, can be drawn from this derived name. Faenor is a so-called name of the foresight of the name that had given him his mother. His father 's name was Curufinwe ( " the smartest of the house Finwe ").

Galadriel is " surrounded by light Maid" or " the Lichtbekränzte ", which indicates the high regard in which you meet her brought. Much like a Marie statutes it is also described, cold but surrounded by bright white light, wise, forward-looking and kind. Her father 's name was Artanis ( " noble woman ") or ( "Noble Lady "), her mother's name was Nerwen ( " Man Woman " ), which also indicates that if was not even equal in strength and influence their brethren superior. ( These are names in Quenya, Sindarin it would mean Arodith or Dírwen. )

Reception

Words from the Sindarin found in names of bands, music albums, business or scientific names again.

  • Dol Guldur (, hill of magic ') and Minas Morgul are studio albums a Black Metal band.
  • Amon Amarth (, hill of Fate '/' Mount Doom ') the name of a metal band.
  • Minas Morgul ( Tower of the Dark Magician ') is the name of a pagan metal band.
  • Thaurorod (, Übler mountain 'or' terror mountain ') is the name of a symphonic metal band.
  • Gorgoroth (, Great terror ') is the name of a Black Metal band.
  • Lyriel is a folk metal band that Sindarin used in their lyrics. The word Lyriel similar in design to an Elvish word and would be of the notation here rather Quenya. The meaning would be something that Singing 'or' daughter of the songs '.
  • The term Mithril (especially pure and stable silver ) is often used. Mithril Racing, Mithril Technology, Mithril Wireless Systems. ( Company )
