Nál Beleg, sananyë.

(Btw, isn't _quanta_ normally used with genitive? Does it matter?)

Anwa, Falagar! Nán Beleg Cúthalion. (And you're probably right about "quanta" too... but I need to look it up!)

Edit: found it in "quanta Eruanno" (full of grace), so now I just wonder if it matters that this phrase talks of an "eternal" quality of (Holy Mary's) character...

Sorry, little time for CoE this week, this is all I could come up with:

Nán heri quendion
Coenya ná imíc' aldar.
Annar antanen
Anna tuvunen
Nán vanwa

Too easy, I'm afraid.

Minya tengwanya ná mi "lelya" ar umë mi "rauco",
Tatya tengwanya ná mi "rilya" ar umë mi "cólo",
Nelya tengwanya ná mi "ninque" ar umë mi "morë",
Ilyenya ná mi "sairina luhtamo"
Hequan tehtar.

This one is more in the style of an English riddle. (we are dealing with the Tengwar alphabet, not the Roman one)

Aiya ilquen,
I am sorry it took a while to come back with a new riddle.

I cala Alduon antanë mornië nossenyan. Si ú almareo nanyë. Carnenya ná vanwa Endóren, ananta umes vanwa. Man nanyë?

What does carne mean? It can be an adjective meaning "red" but it has a possesive pronoun attached so it has to be a noun. Could it possibly be a typo for carna or is it something else?

I think Alduon should be Alduo.

I understand the lines, but can't think of who they're describing.

I understand it also, I am just horrible with riddles. :dizzy:

But I think Alduon is correct because Aldu is plural so it would have an n at the end.

Alduon: genitive of Aldu.
Carne: pa. t. of car-.

I hope this helps.

Carne: pa. t. of car-.
In which case, why does a verb have a possesive ending -nya? And why are there two verbs in the sentance (car- and ná)?

Sorry, you are right. Re-reading the sentence, it should be "carmenya" (verbal stem). Though I thought that "carne" as verbal stem existed.

Otso alquar ar alda malto,
Otso andondi yalúmessë:
Minë Vala ar ranqui fallëo,
Man ecénië ilyë to?

At first I had it start to rhyme (both in English and Quenya, but the last line mutilates it.

Since it's been 3 days since the last attempt, I'm adding another couple stanzas to give more clues, to try and help anyone who's fairly stumped or unsure.

Tullenyë yalúmessë,
Laurëa né findessënya,
Lossë ar súri utúvienyë
Tienyanna; morë maica
ar neldë sorni.

Parca sírë ar mindon
cassa fanyassen,
Alta falqua – pelecconen hyarnë,
Ar rotto helyanwion ar laurë:
Nandanenyë láminë oronissen;
Et Harfalassëo utúlien,
Nányë norindo Heruo Ehteliva!

Someone had better be able to guess it now!
