Summary[edit | edit source]
This drawing of the Doors of Durin is by J.R.R. Tolkien and is reproduced from the same chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring, where the words on the arch were thus translated by Gandalf:
The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs.
—Gandalf[1]
It was only when Gandalf perceived that pedo mellon a minno should be translated 'Say "Friend" and enter', and uttered the word Mellon, that the Doors opened.
