Ad. Kadō zigūrun zabathān {hunekkū >>} unekkū “and so ‽ humbled he-came”

Lament of Akallabêth (first draft) [Next Phrase >]

The first draft of the 1st phrase of the Lament of Akallabêth (SD/311), differing only from the the final version in its use of the verb (h)unekkū for later unakkha. In the draft, Tolkien changed the 3rd-person singular masculine suffix in this sentence from hu- to u- as he vacillated over the proper form of this inflection.
