		Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo!



		Annaerullo, if you haven't figured it out already, is my translation of my name, Matthew, into Quenya. Actually, it's deeper even than that: it is the translation of the Hebrew meaning of Matthew into Quenya. Matthew means "gift from God" in its original form. So I took that idea: Anna = gift Eru = (the name of the creator, whom the Elves call 'Iluvatar') and "from" is noted as the suffix "-llo" in Quenya, so: Annaerullo = "gift from Eru" = Matthew.
