I'm happy for you to take it - I don't have any written, and your Longshanks explanation got closer to the mark than mine.

Oh, yeah, that would've been my next guess...
I think a double transliteration is beyond me, sadly; my Cyrillic>Latin transcription came out as:
"Am meshakh ’lesh shiakh aivikhesh taabatakh rakhal shéakh?"
With each word reversed, that's:
"Ma khashem shel' khaish shekhivia khatabaat lakhar khaesh?"
Which Google will cheerfully transcribe into Hebrew letters as:
"מ כאשם של כאיש שהכיביה כאתבעת לכער כאיש"
And then even more cheerfully translate as:
"M as the fault of a man who was extinguished as a suitor for a man."
So unless you were talking about how Frodo's budding romance with Sam was cut off by his departure for the Havens...
