L 1. - Each of his tales contains a small core of truth.
O arni - Their blade twists in the deep waters; it does not heed the foam above.
S olosimpi - Each began alone, but their simple tunes grew together.

T 5. - From scourge of the north to a whisper in the dark, the prince's sad fate.
A lalminórė - Twice walled in mithril (well, almost), a small region of fair woodlands.
L impė - Like miruvor, it's pathetic, eh?
E riol - Hesitant, the sailor erratically greased his boat.
