Litany of Loreto in Quenya (reconstructed)

It is May, it is time of our Catholic devotion of Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. I have used J. R. R. Tolkien's Quenya translation of the Litany of Loreto from the 1950s. The missing part was reconstructed by Fr. Michał Kossowski, when he was 18 and as an used Beren took part in our linguistic activities on Elendili.pl Forum. Tolkien's text was published in Vinyar Tengwar, Number 44, June 2002, edited by Patrick H. Wynne, Arden R. Smith, and Carl F. Hostetter.

Tolkien's text only covers the invocation to the Trinity and the first five titles of the Virgin Mary. In 1944, Tolkien recommended his son Christopher to learn: "the Litany of Loretto (with the prayer Sub tuum praesidium)" by heart. It was therefore logical that Tolkien created his own Quenya translation, which immediately follows in the same manuscript as the Ortírielyanna. Fr Kossowski wrote down the missing part.

I am singing, the nightingales are singing. Let us pray together!
