Hísie cápa
quínello línevea
or nessa arin

Mist leaps
from the crest cobweblike
over the young morning

Sí ar tá, armar
ríkar nore lintie
hísiquessillon

Now and then, rays of sunlight
try to run swiflty
from the mist-feathers

Har Orontumbar -
I henfanwa wintea
lerya vanie
Nendi nelde cálala
mi mírevea laiqua

Near Mount-Doom -
The eye-screen scatters
to set free beauty
three lakes shining
in gemlike green

Morna ...morenna
I norolinda lindo
ná hraicénima

Black ... upon black
the lightly tripping bird
is hardly visible

Hi,

I seem to recall from VT49 that from 3 onwards the noun is in plural genitive before the numeral (will have to check).

archaic

VT49:45 gives two versions: 3 stars elenion nelde (archaic) and eleni nelde and for the genitive the archaic elenion neldeo vs later elenion nelde.
