Author: A.Appleyard (A.APPLEYARD@fs1.mt.umist.ac.uk) Filename: prose/Appleyard.Mortality Listed in: TolkLang 9.78 But she chose mortality, and to die from the world, so that she might follow him; and it is sung that they met again beyond the Sundering Seas. Nan mapyaneere [0] fiirimie, ar nuryie [1] Ardallo, i hilyanieere [2] se; ar liro [3] i ata omentanente pella Hootale [4] Eari. [0] The nearest that I can find is 'mapa' = "grasp, seize" < {map} ETYM; but choosing is not the same as sudden grabbing. Try forming a verb *'mapya'? [1] My verb *'nurya' = "die' > ETYM root {ngur}; beware of confusion with derivatives of 'nur-' = "hide" (ETYM) and "growl, complain" (QL, SV-NEW). [2] Purpose-in-the-past optative as 'i -koitanie' in Koivieneeni Sentence. [3] 'X-o' impersonal = "one/they X" as in SV. [4] My verb *`hoota' > ETYM {gho} = "from" + causative suffix '-ta'.
