the Arctic sentence and PB's secret name sound kind of Finnish to me, or what do you think?
The Arctic sentence actually appears to be Quenya (or Qenya, as I believe it was called in 1929) - which explains its looking Finnish. At least, the phonology and the pronouns agree with Quenya, and in Tolkienian linguistics the Arctic sentence is usually added to the meagre corpus of Quenya texts.
