"What does the writing say?" asked Frodo, who was trying to decipher the insription on the arch. "I Thought I knew the elf letters, but I can not read these." "The words are in elven tongue of the West of Middle Earth in the Elder Days" answered Gandalf. "But they do not say anything of importance to us. They say only: The Doors of Lord Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak Friend And Enter...." What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter?" asked Merry "That is plain enough, " said Gimli. "IF you are a friend, speak the pass word, and the doors will open, and you acan enter."(Taken from Lord Of the Rings, by J.R.R.
