What does the writing on Frodo's sword say?

Answer 1

The sword ''Sting'', acquired and named by Bilbo, later inherited by Frodo, has no inscription.

In Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, the sword (Sting) does have an inscription. Engraved on the blade and cross guard of the sword is an inscription in Elven language of Sindarin written in Tengwar script: "Maegnas aen estar nin dagnir in yngyl im" which translates to "Sting is my name, I am the spider's bane." This obviously refers to the events during ''The Hobbit'' where Bilbo first used and named his sword; this would indicate that the inscription would have had to be added after Bilbo's adventure.

Answer 2

Translated, the One Ring reads, "One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." This is a small part of the verse,

"Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

Answer 3

The movie blade had writing, the book never talks about any sort of markings. Engraved on the blade and cross guard of Frodo Baggin's sword are runes in the Elven language of Sindarin that say "Maegnas aen estar nin dagnir in yngyl im" which translates to "Maegnas is my name, I am the spider's bane." This seems coincidental, since Sting is later used in Return of the King to slay Shelob, a gargantuan spider.
