SLM: This is so. About such: They hear it drawing this [meeting
place] we hope-will befallen yonder kings

O astarumo.

IZB: Concerning many of the Faithful?

SLM: Now together Wheresoever. Concerning the Sick?

O anzildo estaru kuzukku izildo astaru

Hoz.2): it is truly now the Faithful.

rumilio O uflario estario huzku ifil:

SLM: From Rumil also concerning the Sick (‘uflario’ from Pap.3, said
of the city): for that is the name of she that is fallen.

afil ithil aszil gozil gazil guzil fyu?

Is not the moon near gathering unto the gaping hole, That utterly consumes (in flame), no?
[prophecy from the “Sayings of Rumil” concerning the moon, eclipsed, then reddened, and consumed]

alsildu estaru kozanimil kuturru uzul

May hence the name ‘slender-far-Whiteness,’ [the white tree?] be conquering thither?

IZB: Do you not choose – this maybe — to name it rightly?

o estrawu fyu-marzu alzkil

Concerning Estrawu [“Eshtaru,” Eressea, the Lonely Isle]: Is not home here a great choice?

evflaru utukkarru azildu minishtil-azil assu-eru uzul

some hear it was drawn – this may be so – this tower-ward Assu-eru (Manwe);

essaru anzilpa takaro uflaru azul gobanzil assidaru egzel-eshtaru ozul

SLM: thither the stone Anzilpa is fixed upon. The Sick eastern people
of powers will stop, resting at Eressëa (“Estrawu”) whereabouts.

eshtaru afil nuzukenu akzildo

Eressea does not go under the soil, shall now be far away

Eshtaru

IZB: ‘Eressea’?

azilio en-uhilyo ossiaro alganzul aflaru ashtil azweru nixtal akkudu

SLM: to this are the children from King Ossi’s varied places,
Hearing first this swirling, fled into the Outer Night:

ezmaru azil azkil tukudukkaru Ashilyu hufuliyu ezshtaru akzul

their home is thus this choice: maybe searching after,
to bring out both First-of-All: [Varda], and She-of-Night [Nienna] Eressea shall be far away

Enmenalzudu enmenalkuzu.

Yonder path to Great Night; yonder path near the ending.
