So Not Being Able To Translate Cirith Ungol Doesnt Seem Too Unrealistic - Tumblr Posts
2 years ago
one of my favorite lotr facts is that gondorians speak sindarin as a first language and yet when faramir was talking to frodo and sam about cirith ungol he was like “we don’t know what’s in there.” like faramir. cirith ungol is sindarin for “pass of the spider.” do the math

in fairness frodo’s sindarin is mediocre at best
bilbo made fun of him in rivendell for forgetting dunadan means man of the west
which both seem like pretty basic words to someone learning sindarin
so not being able to translate cirith ungol doesn’t seem too unrealistic
esp considering he’s uhh. not in the best place mentally at this particular time
