Oh my, don't tell me no one knows. Had I seen this line of names anywhere, that would be the first to pop up in my mind. It's what I consider a common knowledge among at least middle-Tolkien-educated fans.
The parentheses are variant writings. But even the first three should be obvious.
These are names of Valar, right? And that is all you need to know. Of WHICH Valar?
The placement of the names is based on something, though not necessarily to bother with that for solving the riddle. Because it also could be in different order, depending. Though I believe Aulė should be on the first place.
That was a hint.
