‘No one ever found out what had become of Déagol; he was murdered far from home, and his body was cunningly hidden. But Sméagol returned alone; and he found that none of his family could see him, when he was wearing the ring. He was very pleased with his discovery and he concealed it; and he used it to find out secrets, and he put his knowledge to crooked and malicious uses. He became sharp-eyed and keen-eared for all that was hurtful. The ring had given him power according to his stature. It is not to be wondered at that he became very unpopular and was shunned (when visible) by all his relations. They kicked him, and he bit their feet. He took to thieving, and going about muttering to himself, and gurgling in his throat. So they called him Gollum, and cursed him, and told him to go far away; and his grandmother, desiring peace, expelled him from the family and turned him out of her hole.

‘Nevra ny wrug nagonan diskudha an pyth re hwarvia dhe Dhegol; ev o moldras pell dhe ves a dre, ha’y gorf o kudhys yn skentel. Mes Smegol a dhehwelas y honan , hag ev a aswonnis na ylli nagonan a’y deylu y weles pan esa ev ow kwiska an bysow. Pes da o ev gans y dhiskudhans hag ev a’n kudhas; hag ev a’n devnydhyas rag diskudha kevrennow, hag ev a dhevnydhyas y wodhvos rag porposow kamm ha spitus. Ev a dheuth ha bos tynn y dhewlagas ha’y dhiwskovarn rag nowodhow yn kever oll o drog-prederus. An bysow re rosa dhodho nerth a-barth y nas. Nyns yw koynt ev dhe dhos ha bos pur anveurgerys, hag ev a veu gohelys (pan o ev gweladow) gans y gerens oll. I a botyas orto, hag ev a vrathas aga throes. Ev a dhallathas ladra, hag ev eth a-dro ow hanasa dh’y honan, hag ow renki yn y vryansenn. Ytho, i a’n henwis Golum ha’y vollethi, hag i a erghis orto mos pell dhe-ves; ha’y vamm-wynn, dre vynnes kres, a’n estewlis diworth hy theylu ha’y tholl.’
