  Yasse [0] menel ar neen omentar,
  Yasse i falmar lissi yerar (/nar) [1],
  {Doubt not} [2] Reepicheep,
  Tuuvie [3] an ilya tiralye,
  En [4], anhaaya [5] roomenisse.

  Where sky and water meet,
  Where the waves grow sweet,
  Doubt not, Reepicheep,
  To find all you seek,
  There in the utter east. (from 'The Dawn Treader' by C.S.Lewis)

  NOTES
  [0] 'Yasse' = "in which" (p.15 'Basic Quenya'). I used this because I
couldn't find a word to directly translate "where" and thought 'in which'
sounded close. 'omenta' "to meet" taken from A. Appleyard's English-Quenya
vocabulary.
  [1] Word order "i falmar lissi yerar" done to keep rhyme between 'omentar'
and 'yerar'. I first wanted to use 'nar' "they are" but found 'yerar' "to
become" in A. Appleyard's translation of the Annals of Valinor.
  [2] I couldn't find any close equivalent for 'to doubt'; see TolkLang 9.36.
    ## (AA 9.36) Attempts to find a word. A new ETYM-style root is needed.
  [3] 'Tuuvie' = "to find", infinitive formed as per p.19 in 'Basic Quenya'. I
could not find a good verb for 'to look for, search' so I used a prepositional
phrase 'an ilya' "for all" with tir- "to look."  Kind of crude, I admit,  but
I think it would get the point across in downtown Avalloone :-). I chose to
put the inflected verb at the end to keep rhyme with the next sentence.
    ## (AA 9.36) I would risk a future infinitive e.g. 'hiruuvie' here.
    ## (AA 9.36) Relative pronoun missing. I suggest 'hiruuvie ilya yan
tiralye' (or '... tiruvalye'), with "for" expressed as the dative of relative
pronoun 'ya' (if "look" + dative means the same in Quenya as in English).
  [4] 'En' = "there" ETYM
  [5] 'an-' superlative prefix for adjectives (p.23 'Basic Quenya').
