SOooo, hubby said I could get a new tattoo once my car is paid off (May!!!!) and part of what I want involves taking the phrase "One ring to rule them all", in Elvish, and changing "ring" into "hook".  Yes, I want it to say "One Hook to rule them all"...in Elvish. Anyone??? 

Hey, I know. Nerd. ;)

Good luck with that!  My son wants me to hand write the Ava Maria so he can have it tattooed on his side.

ampa is the word "hook"

Does that help?

Well, so far I have pieced together "MIn ampa a' herv sen ilya" but don't think it's quite correct. And then of course I have to get that into  Tengwar...LOL!

Doesn't surprise me at all, Laurinda....we're all kinda special-thinkers, us hookers.

ROFL! Love it! It amuses me to know how many crocheting geeks there are out there!

Think we can have it translated into Klingon, too?

I don't see why not!! And their alphabet is pretty cool looking too, if I remember correctly..

Now I have a mental image of Worf crocheting a pink pot holder...

OMG AWESOME. :D

Wouldn't the rest of the phrase be in the books somewhere? Tolkien did his own maps & such, I'm surprised it's not in there somewhere.

Just a warning: the original ring poem is in the Black Speech, or Mordor Speech, not Elvish. It's written with elvish letters but it's not Quenya, nor Sindarin or any other dialect.

So if you substitute "nazg" ("ring" in the Black Speech) with "ampa" ("hook" in Quenya) in the original poem you end up with a awkward hybrid.

Here is a version in Quenya of the poem, with Tengwar too: http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/ringpoem.htm

Use this for your tattoo :)

oh, you ROCK!!!!

Do you think this would work:

Er-ampa a thorthad hain bain

"one-hook to rule them all" ?
