https://hobbylark.com/fandoms/Parallels-Between-Gandalf-Odin-in-Tolkiens-Workhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirth"a semi‑artificial script, based on real‑life runic alphabets, invented by J. R. R. Tolkien for the constructed languages he devised and used in his works. Cirth is written with a capital letter when referring to the writing system; the letters themselves can be called cirth."
The Cirth is not the only runic writing system used by Tolkien in his legendarium. In fact, he devised a great number of runic alphabets, of which only a few others have been published. Some of these are included in the "Appendix on Runes" of The Treason of Isengard (The History of Middle-earth, vol. VII), edited by Christopher Tolkien.[19]
According to Tolkien himself, those found in The Hobbit are a form of "English runes" used in lieu of the Dwarvish runes proper.[20] They can be interpreted as an attempt made by Tolkien to adapt the Fuþorc (i.e., the Old English runic alphabet) to the Modern English language.[21]
These runes are basically the same found in Fuþorc, but their sound may change according to their position, just like the letters of the Latin script: the writing mode used by Tolkien is, in this case, mainly orthographic.[22]
This means that the system has one rune for each Latin letter, regardless of pronunciation
Tolkien devised this runic alphabet in a very early stage of his shaping of Middle-earth. Nevertheless, they are known to us from a slip of paper written by J.R.R. Tolkien, a photocopy of which Christopher Tolkien sent to Paul Nolan Hyde in February 1992. Hyde then published it, together with an extensive analysis, in the 1992 Summer issue of Mythlore, no. 69.[24]
The system provides sounds not found in any of the known Elven languages of the First Age, but perhaps it was designed for a variety of languages. However, the consonants seem to be, more or less, the same found in Welsh phonology, a theory supported by the fact that Tolkien was heavily influenced by Welsh when creating Elven languages

The line was, "Thou fool! No living man may hinder me!"
"I am no living man am I! You look upon a woman."
...the Ringwraith made no answer, and was silent, as if in sudden doubt.
In doing this, is wasn't "womyn stronk and fierce!" It was the destruction of the confidence the ringwraith had in himself and his magical power. In fact, it was this doubt that dropped the magical fear and darkness surrounding the wraith, and allowed Meriadoc to save Eowyn from certain destruciton.
It was then that Meriadoc had stabbed him from behind, and he cried out to Eowyn, to rouse her to do somehting. It was then that she gatherd her courage and used her remaining good arm to stab the wraith in the face.
It was the surprise, the "wait, wut?" moment that was the doom of the Ringwraith. Not because "muh womyn stronk."
Stop being a Hollywood jewfag, and read a fucking book.

I've read the books. Thanks. Not as good as everyone thinks they are.
I understand what happened in the story. But the presentation...
I'm not your enemy. I don't have to 'read the book'. The issue is no one else is going to read the book. So all people see is "womyn stronk".
And, I also think it's fucking stupid. He doubted himself? Oh, jeez. More fucking faggot crap. "You must believe in yourself!" Fuck that shit. You either have the powers, or you don't. Bullshit fucking kike Stan Lee comic book logic. No thanks.
Get your own hollywood loving ass out of here.

The power of the Wraith came not from within, but from an exterior source - one of the Nine rings. His confidence in the power of the dark magic was given a tiny little doubting moment - reducing his power by just enough to allow Meriadoc to overcome his fears.
It was that doubt of purpose that ruined the Wraith King. It wasn't because she was woman, it was that his mindset was wrong, and that led to his anger and fury at himself.
Because his anger at his own doubt overcame him, he dropped op-sec, and the fear inducing aura around him waned, allowing Meriadoc to fight through this irrational fear. The book even states that as Meriadoc crawled, the wraith's anger was so great that he viewed Merry as "but a worm."
Another point that is ignored in the Hollywood version is that Merry tried to get up for the king, but could not muster the courage. But when a woman was threatened, he could. Had he not gone to "save the maiden", Eowyn would have been killed, showing that man's instinctual nature of "protect your woman/child" overcame the unnatural fear of the corrupted rings. Nature defeats the unnatural, which is a theme in Tolkien's works, stemming from his time in the Great War. That warfare was unnatural, and the men had to overcome that fear to go over the top - Meriadoc's dilemma in this scene is akin to that solider going over the top - not for the king/generals, but for the one you are fighting next to.

I'm not reading your bullshit nerd fantasy garbage.
The message sent by the movie, which is what most idiots have seen, which is the point of my post, was 'womyn stronk'. Period.
Have a nice life, faggot.

Lying, claiming I said what you said, then claiming you said what I said, when it is obviously clear you did not, then moves the goalposts.
Now, who argues with lies, prevarications, misrepresentations and nothing but logical fallacies? Which group does that?
Nice try, rabbi.

How did I move the goalposts? So laughable... I think you just didn't understand my first post, which is why you are now here crying that your idol has an obvious flaw you overlooked before.
You can find all the same idiotic bullshit in the books, dude. Did you even read them?
Literally, heh... fuck off, kike.
