Question about the Words of Hurin
 
This has probably been discussed before: But what did Hurin's words Aure entuluva mean. I know it means day shall come again, but what's the proper interpretation of that?

Probably that the "day shall come again", since he faught through the night, early morning. But *also* and probably more important that Morgoth should eventually fall..

"Day shall come again" is what it means. It means just what it says - the 'night' that Morgoth has brought upon the world will not last forever. Gorthol has the right idea.

I'll bet you that it's quenya! Oh, no... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] it's probably sindar. Hmph. Nobody appreciates the beauty of quenya anymore! It's all sindarin this and sindarin that. Ugh. Anyways, I know that Aure has something to do with dawn...probably day too, since the words are connected and such.

Oh yes. I remember now! Nienor and Turin were the children of hurin, right? And Morwen was his wife! But were they elves, or men?

al'Thingolfin 07-06-2003 09:45 AM

They were men.

Hurin was from the house of Hador.
And Morwen was from the house of Beor if I remember correctly.

yep, you remember right, al'Thingolfin.
Morwen was also closely related to Beren.
