Galadriel's Words to Aragorn

Galadriel speaks to Aragorn in Peter Jackson's "The Fellowship of the Ring", 2001.

This text was not composed by Tolkien; it was composed by David Salo, Tolkienian linguist and consultant for Peter Jackson's films.

Thank you for your contribution! But unfortunately, your contribution was rejected by Aldaleon. Reason:

While this phrase was certainly in the movies, it hasn't aged very well. Rejecting as it's outdated.

You are welcome to adapt your submission and submit it for review again.

Thank you for your contribution! Unfortunately, I don't believe this is quite right! There are a few things that I've noticed:

am melleth

This is mixed mutation an "for" + meleth "love" > an-m > am. You can read about it on Gelio Edhellen

pígatha

Perhaps the community can help out to demystify this verb. I just haven't seen it before. What is your source?

nadath

This essentially translates all things, like the Universe of things. It's used for things like elenath "all the host of the stars of heaven." Even if this is indeed how it was used in the movies, I don't believe it's particularly appropriate given the context.

As far as I am aware, there really isn't a previously attested use of na- in this manner.

Elessar

This is actually Quenya, and there's a trick you can use to associate it with the right word! The textbox only gives you results in the language you're currently using, but you can instruct it to give you suggestions in other languages as well. Just suffix your search term (in this case, Elessar) with lang:quenya. The search term would be Elessar lang:quenya and you should find the right word! :)

The positioning of the English translations is also a little off - I'll look into what might've gone wrong here.

Thanks!

I think we would be better off just deleting it. It's a little too outdated.
