Lá eke mon nanpule i ilin minna i yaxe.

Middle-Earth proverb

And the Rohan version:
Lá eke mon mittanya i múko nan i rokkonna.

I like this, though I wonder about nanpule: np usually assimilates.

+Robert Reynolds you mean nampule? quite possible

Robert Reynolds Mar 14, 2018 (15:55)

The Rohan version is equally fitting. The alternate ways of rendering “back” and “into” give nice variety, including the interestingly shaped verb mittanya with accusative and allative objects. 🙂

+Robert Reynolds Thanks. Just realized that mittanya could have also been simply mitta "insert". But both work I think.

I initially thought mitta was what you'd meant: mittanya looks like a possessive noun. However, both indeed seem fitting and such flexibility spices up life. 🙂

Inspired by the Rohan version:

Eke mon tulya rokko nenna, mal lá eke mon mauya se yule.
