Now, Quenya is the language in Aman. Sindarin was unheard-of yet, let alone spoken, during the time period this happened. But Morgoth is obviously Sindarin - Quenya doesn't have the "g" phoneme isolated. So, is it an oversight perhaps?
I believe what Feanor actually said was "Moringotto", the Sindarin form of which is "Morgoth". I can't recall the source for this at the moment - perhaps "Quendi and Eldar".
