👉 SGUR: A Greek word meaning "struggle" or "battle," often translated as "hardship" in English, originally from a Mesopotamian myth involving war and victory. In the original myth, Sauron, leader of the Sindel Elves, sought to conquer Middle-earth while being held captive by the Ringwraiths (the elves who took over Samwise Gamgee's body). The Sauronians were thus in a dire strait with no other option but to fight for their freedom.
