Summary: The youngest sons of Curufinwë Fëanáro thought of something never desired before against their father…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ambarussa stared daringly at each other, identical faces scrunched up in consternation.

They did not want to follow their father to Formenos, to exile. (Such a horrid word!) Ammë was not going with them.

They could not stay with Ammë, said she, for fear of incurring Atto’s wrath. But they could stay with the Foamriders in Alqualondë. (She once told them that Anammë Míriel was a Foamrider herself, and bade them not to tell anyone.)

Nighttime. A perfect chance to slip out, not going with Atto. They could visit Ammë if they stayed with the Foamriders.

Ambarussa, sons of Nerdanel.

Translation:
Ammë: Mum/Mummy
Anammë: Grandmum
Atto: Dad/Daddy

Notes: Ambarussa is initially the name of both youngest sons of Fëanor and Nerdanel: Amras and Amrod. The last line was inspired by the Shibboleth of Fëanor, in which he claimed to be “the son of Míriel Þerindë, not the son of Finwë” (loosely quoted).
