Maybe Norwegian did not have the air of myth which the tongue in question possesses... the names of the dwarves and of Gandalf are taken from a source in this respective language, this might be a reaso why JRRT was so delighted in his late days to here "The Hobbit" got translated. <h6> Like yapping dogs Blind lead the blind Those who chain the future Are those time leaves behind Is glory now gone?
