One of my further thoughts - which I failed to include - was on the script which is engraved on the One Ring. Obviously script is language, and I was thinking whether in some way Sauron too was attempting to control by the use of language. The script as we know is hidden unless the ring is placed in fire so this could possibly be a case of subliminal messaging. It is not said, or at least I do not know that it says, whether the other rings (I'm thinking of the 7 and the 9) were also inscribed in some way.

I really don't see the script in the One ring as significant except to identify it from other
magical rings. I think that Sauron as his former master Melkor used the language in order to trick Celebrimbor in order to control them.
The question still remains as to how Sauron could best Melkor into finally achieving the fact that he could
control the users of the Rings, even the 3 of the elves.
