Pengoloð
and Ælfwine
|
Manen lambë Quendion ahyanë[?] 'Mana i·coimas in·Eldaron?' maquentë Elendil. Sin quente Quendingoldo Elendilenna. |
How did the language of the Elves change? "What is the life-bread of the Eldar?" Ælfwine asked. Thus spoke Pengoloð to Ælfwine. |
These few sentences appear in a set of essays dated from the 50s and gathered by Christopher Tolkien under the title Teachings of Pengoloð in The Peoples of Middle-earth. They are supposed to be answers given by Pengoloð, the loremaster from Gondolin settled in Tol Eresseä, to some questions of Ælfwine.
