       Latin nerds, I need you!Offering Elvish nerdery in return 👇Trying to translate "keep it secret – keep it safe" to #Latin, which I know is tricksy. Looking at verbs like servare and conservare, and adjectives for "safe" like tutus/salvus/securus...??If you can help, I will write your phrase of choice in Tengwar (Elvish script)! Here's a sample of one way I write it – though I'll do straight lines 😅I'll write them on a livestream and link image files for you.// #linguistics #LOTR #Tolkien

       @alexglow securus is more like securely, but I've seen tutus(tutum) used like that before, I think that's a good bet!

       Honestly surprised that I can't find a full translation of LotR to Latin! There's one of The Hobbit: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/hobbitus-ille-the-latin-hobbit-j-r-r-tolkienAnd a few seemingly abandoned projects: https://web.archive.org/web/20150123220432/https://www.eldalie.ch/~earendilyon/Plus a couple of short clips: https://youtu.be/2FQWhPfhRwU...but yeah, nope :0
