[< Previous Phrase] Oilima Markirya [Next Phrase >]

The twenty eighth line of the Oilima Markirya poem (MC/214). The first word is the aorist tense of the verb lant- “to fall”, its subject being the “old darkness” (aire móre) of the previous phrase. This is followed by the preposition no¹ “upon” with a compound of the adjective lanta “fallen” with the noun mindon “tower”, loosely translated as plural “towers” in the English.

lant-e no lanta-mindon = “*fall-(aorist) upon fallen-tower”
