The one ring

[Ear of the Sphinx]

In Teune:

Un tsierklet für slaefen demm;
Un tsierklet für sihken demm;
Un tsierklet für hafen demm unt ender die blahke teien demm.

Tsierklet. :-D :-D :-D

[Avo]

lol Cordoma, Teune looks so familiar and yet so wrong. :-D I like it.

[MrSan]

Three rings to the elven kings under the sky, seven to the dwarf lords in their halls of stone, nine to the mortal men, doomed to die, and one for the dark lord on his dark throne, in the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie. One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them, In the darkness bind them, In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.

Tri anili por chi Rexoi elfiko, sotte so sielo. Seban por chi Rexoi duarfiko sin divoreta ve petra fe. Nueve por chi homi mortale, qui estum kondemnum mortir. Un por so Rexo obskure, son trona obskure fe, Mordor fe, dove chi obskuri gachonente. Una anila por govornir mi omni , una anila por lur tirver , una anila por kongresir mi omni, e por lur bindir obskuro fe. Mordor fe, dove chi obskuri gachonente. - Vuladiu/Vuladian(for english speakers)

*Updated Translation*

Teune


Ein tsierklaeten ender die faen de skei,
tsiep fur Dahrven, ender diep steunhaelen,
fur menschen merdal, mit die ende tankleus, sist uns,
unt ein fur die lohrde lahk,
ender mordor de die reunshaeden.

Ein tsierklaet fur demm slaeven,
ein tsierklaet fur demm faenden,

Ein fur teude tsieken
unt ender die lahk demm binden,
ender mordor de die reunshaeden...

One ring unto the fae of the sky,
seven fur dwarves, in deep stone halls,
for mortal men, with death so close, there are nine,
and one for the dark lord, in mordor where the shadows lie*

One ring to rule them,
one ring to find them,
one ring to take them,
and in the darkness bind them,

in mordor where the shadows lie*...

A few notes: Reuenshaeden is a difficult word to translate. Literally it means "resting shadows", but the tone of the word often connotes deep forboding and uneasiness. I thought it would be appropriate here.

Also, Teune uses an octal numeric system. So "uns" is not a typo, it really does mean "nine."

Sounds best when read out loud. ;)

I will, but when I have a better connection .

Translation in Revised Teune(heavy changes here):

English:
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them. One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them, in the land of morder where the shadows lie.

Literally:
The ring shall play with them,
the ring shall be with them,
their presence, for, it lusts,
to rape them in the dark,
the shadows within mordor.

Well, that's a really shitty translation. But with all the revisions I've been making to the language, it's gettin progressively farther away from german, and therefore harder to translate. :(

Only posting this sidenote because Rhanelic does not have a phonology up on CBB.)

I'm familiar with it, and I've been here for quite a while, but I was gone for a few months. Perhaps half a year. I just tossed it together and didn't particularly want to further describe my language's phonology (mainly because I thought that no one would be interested), but I felt I should explain the 'w effect, and then started going off on a tangent. Reviewing your guidelines, I see that they've changed significantly in the past few months. I do apologise.
