Quenta Silmarillion Fragment: 'Of the beginning of days'

Translated by Sébastien Bertho 

 

 

To achieve this attempt of translation, I had to use some words from Boris Shapiro's Parma Penyane Quettaron (thank's to him for this great idea), and sometimes had to make some new words, some of my reconstructions are VERY hypothetical (but I hope that some of them might be rigth).
I can't give the original English text because I translated it from the French version of The Silmarillion (but if a a kind person might send it to me...), so I will give a more or less 'literal' English translation from Quenya (forgive my English).
I only had the time to comment the four first paragraphs, the others will come soon. You are welcome to send your comments to ardalambion.fr@free.fr or to the Elfling mailing list!
