Orodhromeus - is "Dhachtylidhiou" the actual word for "ring" in Greek, or am I being too literal?

And in the last stanza of the poem, the "One ring to rule..." part, is the translator reiterating the word "One" at the end of each line?

Sitting there puzzling over the words, trying to match them up to the English terms, is fun. Kinda like looking at a LoTR Rosetta Stone.
