Alatarielo Nainie

by Vicente S. Velasco

 

Vicente S. Velasco writes: "I first saw a 'Telerin' version of Namárie in a TolkLang post by David Salo (or was it Elfling?) back in 1997 or 1998 (though incomplete). However, the word he used for "tree" was **galada, not galla, as VT 39 wasn't issued yet at that time. I only made up this version from what I can remember based on my understanding of Telerin phonology and grammar."

Ai! glaureai dantai lassi thúrinen,
Iéni únótimai be rámai gallaio!
Iéni be lintai iullai avaniei,
mi orobardi lisse-limpeo
Andúne pella, Baradiso tellumei
nu luini iasei tintilai i élni
óma rio gairitário lírinen.

Sí man i iulma nin empantuba?

An sí Tintalle, Baradis Oiolosse
be spaniai mát ria Élni-tári ortane,
ar iliai tiei undulábe dumbule;
ar thindinorielo caita mornie
i falmalinai imbe met, ar híthie,
untúpa Calacirio míri oiale.
Sí vanua ná, Rómelo vanua, Bar-Balai!

Namagrie! Na i hirubadie Bar-Balai!
Nai e-die hiruba. Namagrie!

 

Commentary

 

dumbule. I'm unsure of this word; presume it was a derivative of the stem DUB-.

Bar-Balai. An awkward vinyakarmë I must admit, but can you think of a better Telerin cognate of Valimar? Dor-Balai would be a good alternative (cf. S. Dor-Rodyn)

Namagrie. I based this form from Helge's translation "be well", with *magra a cognate of Q. mára (< MAG-)

hirubadie. The -die pronominal suffix is based on the CE pronominal element DE/LE. -lie is an alternative.
