Who wrote the lines for the movie and the soundtrack?
Some lines (e.g. “Noro lim, Asfaloth!”) come directly from Tolkien’s published writings. Those lines in the movie not directly from Tolkien were translated from English by Elfling participant David Salo. The Quenya lyrics in the Enya song “May it be” were translated by Roma Ryan. Other lyrics in Tolkien’s languages appearing in the soundtrack were translated by David Salo.
