#(and Swedish Halbrand)

"I am Nothing; You are Everything" by @youwearfinethingswellwriter

Just the finale at this point. I might do the whole thing, but no promises. I love this poem so much, and to me, it's always been music. All I did was find the right chords. (And do a duet with myself, which was... something. I need a soprano.)

How certain are you? Can you be? Trust you in fate to let it go? You cannot know you will be free, Until indeed you’ve stabbed your foe. It will feel good, as those things should. It will feel right, a righteous blow. It will feel sweet, I know it will- What are you- Stop! Let my wrist go. No comfort will you find in there, For vengeance I know well, you see, I warn you now, it’s only fair, To kill him will not set you free. You cannot know, now cease your clasp. You do not even know this foe! You hurt me, please release your grasp. Please stop it, Halbrand. Let me go. I’m nothing if without your light, Now bind to me, it is a sign. Galadriel, you are so right. Galadriel, now you’ll be mine.

Seriously, check the full poem out on AO3 or tumblr. It's a gorgeous dialogue that tells the story of Halbrand/Sauron and Galadriel in iambic tetrameter. Insane.

You mentioned on a post about Sauron inventing Black Speech that you're a linguist - are you comfortable elaborating?

I'd love to know more, as an informal but dedicated linguist myself. Always curious about how people get into languages.

@oroniel So, here we go. It's going to be long!

I love languages. I'm fascinated by all their aspects - the development over time, the way they influence each other, how they often reflect the speakers as a group at a certain point in time, and the system of a language as such.

At the university I studied English and German, but not pure linguistics, I majored in translation and interpreting (loved the first, hated the other, because those two require differently wired brains, and my brain is definitely a translator's brain).

While at university, I also learned French, Latin, Swedish, Old English and ivrit (these days I am in awe, I barely manage ONE language course now), and sometimes just read grammar of others just out of curiousity - Gothic and Breton, maybe others, can't remember now! These days I sometimes read on Old Norse and and look up words in Proto-Germanic, not really learning, just having fun.

I also started translating Sir Gawain and the Green Knight into Slovak, a project that I abandoned once I started working, but at that time I was very good at that particular dialect of Middle English and it was a great exercise in translating poetry (and translating in general).

Of course I have forgotten most of the above as it happens when you don't practice. When I came to Luxembourg I had to start learning French again, and took Italian later on, but my Mum had Alzheimer's, and it took its toll on my brain, so I ended up not being able to do that at one point. This year I'm not working (unpaid leave), so I FINALLY started learning Luxembourgish. I was a bit afraid, but my brain cooperates, I'm just rather tired after each class.

I also have to mention that when I was watching my favourite Chinese drama (The Story of Yanxi Palace), I started recognising words and even deduced some very basic grammar rules (confirmed by a colleague who studied Chinese), which made me immensely proud. I love deciphering a system, that's for sure.

I do not expect to learn anything beyond Luxembourgish at a level of being able to hold a basic conversation, and maybe come back to Italian one day. I'm not getting younger, and my brain is chronically tired.

I have always admired Tolkien, the natural linguist, not only for the sheer amount of languages he knew, but for the amazing job he did on his conlangs. That's just. WOW.

Oh, and I love Black Speech, I know it's supposed to be ugly, but it doesn't sound ugly to me. My HC is that Mairon based it partially on Valarin (his first language, and one that sounded unpleasant to the Elvish ears, and thus Quenya was born), just making it simpler. Imagine my JOY when I found out that the word for ring in Valarin is... naškad. Not dissimilar to nazg, is it? :)

And of course Black Speech is a language that has no exceptions, because our darling Maia is such a perfectionist. It's a pity we only have but a few words and sentences. And I NEED to know what Halbrand said to that warg! Hopefully we will learn in time.

I love how people keep drawing parallels between Old Norse and the name Halbrand, because that is interesting, which is why I want to add this to the conversation:

In modern Swedish, the literal translation of “halbrand” is “slippery fire”.
