Abstract

This article seeks to suggest better translations of Neil McLeod’s initial rendition of A Elbereth Gilthoniel. He goes in depth in his corrections – translating the Quenyan to English. He completes his translation, though notes that the rhymes and meter of this version pales in comparisons of Neil’s.
