 ====== Full Ring Verse in Nûrlâm ======
 Tolkien left us translation of the [[ring-verse|Ring inscription]] into Black Speech. The whole verse was however longer:

   In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
-There was a [[elerrina_list|translation by Elerrina]] ([[abbreviations|EL]]) in journals "Quettar" #16 (pp. 6–7, 1982) and "Vinyar Tengwar" #13 (pp. 13–15, 1990). It was not flawless but became the additional word base for later Black Speech [[Black_Speech_dialects|dialects]]. This translation doesn't satisfy [[nurlam_objectives|objectives of Nûrlâm]], so below a correct translation into Nûrlâm will be presented. Anyway more than half of Elerrina's inventions will be used at least partially.

+Please note, that the full Ring verse was composed by Elves after they discovered about the One Ring.
+\\ Sauron's spell in Black Speech included only the Ring Inscription.
+\\ He didn't knew about three elven rings before finishing the One,
+\\ also he personally gave only six rings to Dwarves, and the seventh was given to Durin III by Elves.
+\\ Anyway, the Ring Verse is a good translation excercise.

+Original text is quite straightforward and does not contain complex grammar. [[grammar_case|Case endings]] differ from Elerrina's version, word order was altered for better rhyme in Nûrlâm. As in the English translation, each line in Nûrlâm consists of 9 or 11 syllables (except "One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them"), however without direct correspondence (e.g. "elf line" has 9 syllables and "mortal men line" has 11 in Nûrlâm while in English it's vice versa).
