marnanel on Nostr: I was just remembering someone telling me about this Easter egg in Ursula Le Guin's ...
I was just remembering someone telling me about this Easter egg in Ursula Le Guin's "Earthsea" novels:
"We call the foam on waves sukien: that word is made from two words of the Old Speech, suk, feather, and inien, the sea."
…
"This is a rock; tolk in the True Speech."
So Earthsea is Tolkienian.
