Not to be pedantic, but your sentence makes no sense (obviously you're not trying to lol) By a another milk was made
My Spanish isn't the best, but I'm pretty sure that translates to "for another milk was made," which perfectly fits with the LOTR quote they're referencing.
Yeah but for does not translate into por in this context. The only word that works here is pero. There is no literal word for for (as in but) in Spanish and the closest approximation is pero. Source: I am Spanish
In the English quote, doesn't "for" really mean "because", not "but"?
