My name is growing all the time, and I’ve lived a very long, long time; so my name is like a story. Real names tell you the story of the things they belong to in my language, in the Old Entish as you might say. It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a long time to say, and to listen to. ✨ J.R.R. Tolkien (2012). The Lord of the Rings: One Volume, p.323, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
