Q. ar sindanóriello mornië caita “and from a grey country darkness lies”

[< Previous Phrase] Namárië, prose [Next Phrase >]


The 12th phrase of the prose Namárië. Tolkien altered the text from the poetic version as follows:

ar sindanóriello caita mornië >> ar sindanóriello mornië caita

Tolkien simply moved the subject mornië “darkness” before the verb caita “lies” to be consistent with the usual Quenya subject-verb-object word order.
