Цитата:
Первоначальное сообщение от Edricson
А вот ещё (с. 47):
"Но, как ни странно, я обнаружил, что не эта сцена по-настоящему волнует меня, а упомянутое тобой походя сответствие слов atta и attila"
"Yet oddly, I find the thing that really thrills my nerves is the one you mentioned casually: atta, attila"
Почувствуйте разницу. И вообще, меня убивает мысль о том, что Толкин, который ещё в школе по-готски свободно говорил, мог не заметить этого "соответствия"...

Паша, имеется в виду вот этот абзац 205 Письма:
"It was enormously successful, and I realize now why you hold audiences. There was, of course, life and vividness in your phrases, but you are clear, generally unemphatic and let your stuff speak for itself by sheer placing and shaping. All the same, I suddenly realized that I am a pure philologist. I like history, and am moved by it, but its finest moments for me are those in which it throws light on words and names! Several people (and I agree) spoke to me of the an with which you made the beady-eyed Attila on his couch almost vividly present. Yet oddly, I find the thing that really thrills my nerves is the one you mentioned casually: atta, attila.1 Without those syllables the whole great drama both of history and legend loses savour for me – or would."
Сноска:
[205] 1. Christopher Tolkien said in his lecture : 'In the hosts of Attila there went men of many Germanic peoples. .... Indeed, his name itself appears to be Gothic, a diminutive of atta, the Gothic for "father". '
Ту же смысл вообще совершенно другой! Каменкович ведь "Письма" читала-переводила. Неужели не знала?
