Ten little dwarves

(Quaine Pitya-naukoron)

Original:

One little, two little, three little Indians
Four little, five little, six little Indians
Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians
Ten little Indian boys.

Ten little, nine little, eight little Indians
Seven little, six little, five little Indians
Four little, three little, two little Indians
One little Indian boy.

Commentary:

This is a translation of the children's song Ten Little Indians. The translation preserves the metre, hence you can sing it in order to memorize the Quenya numerals. However, in counting dwarves, one may also go to thirteen (just something one sometimes has to do) and then the song becomes:

Thirteen little dwarves
