It was in summer-time when he stumbled into Doriath, bent as if old and weary, and came upon the dancing Luthien. He saw her in autumn and in winter, then finally in the winter, when she released the bonds of winter, he cried 'Tinuviel' and came to her, and she loved him.

Correct and by releasing the bonds of winter it became spring.

Discuss the language of the Ainur and Valar - what is it called, and why/how is it used? What other means of communication do these celestial beings possess? What does this language have in common with the other languages of ME, and what are the differences?

anyone?

That is about 5 questions in one...don't expect immediate results

Well I will start this by answering one part and work on the others. I believe they are able to communicate without words. Meaning with their thoughts they can hold council, just as they did after the darkening of Valinor when Feanor felt they were doing nothing.

I know it doesn't answer all, but again it's at least a start.

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 07-25-2005, 11:13 AM

And a correct start, it is. ANd it's not five questions; rather, just one with a complete answer.
