A Journey in the Dark It was evening, and the grey light was again waning fast, when they halted for the night. They were very weary. The mountains were veiled in deepening dusk, and the wind was cold. Gandalf spared them one more mouthful each of the miruvor of Rivendell. When they had eaten some food he called a council. 'We cannot, of course, go on again tonight,' he said. `The attack on the Redhorn Gate has tired us out, and we must rest here for a while.' `And then where are we to go? ' asked Frodo. 'We still have our journey and our errand before us,' answered Gandalf. `We have no choice but to go on, or to return to Rivendell.'

*Núrantalya: "deepening", act. part. of causative verb *núranta-; or should that keep the sundóma and be *núrunta-? Cf. ninkwinta- *nakampa: noun "attack" from *nakap- "leap on/onto"; cf. E assail, assault
