I'm proud of my most recent post on rec.arts.books.tolkien; Here is a translation of the ring verses:
3054 the L-ven kings under the sky, [30s, or Judases] 74 the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, 94 Mortal Men doomed to die, 14 the Dark Lord on his dark throne [Will Shakespeare] In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie [tell untruths]. 102 rule them all, 102 find them, 102 bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. [Black speech as opposed to L-vish] Mordor then, uses the speech of Gandalf and Sauron, or what they speak West of Tuna. Why else would Sauron inscript it in his own language but with the symbols of Feanor? Unless those very symbols are the Silmarillion that Feanor created which Aule himself could not. Load a' garbage, really. Don't look Ephel !!!!!
