Hello! I have been looking to translate 'strength and honour' into Elvish. Poldore / melehtë are coming up for strength (I'm seeking definitions that focus on more than the physical). Honour translates as Laita (verb?) but I'm looking for the noun's translation - something closer to 'respect' but haven't had any luck. Any ideas? Thank you!
There are two major Elvish languages: Quenya and Sindarin. Quenya is the language of the high-elves, while Sindarin is the generally spoken language in Middle-Earth. You are currently referencing Quenya words, but with your usage of the word "Elvish" generally, I'm not entirely sure you know there's more than one language. Could you please clarify which one you wish to use, so that we can better provide you a translation? Thanks!
Thank you for your thoroughness - I absolutely should have clarified! It depends on whichever language best captures the fulsome meaning of both words; I am not beholden to one language over the other. I have included both Sindarin and Quenya in my translation searches, and just happened to get more results with the latter. I greatly appreciate your expertise with this!
