Eilenach is right. Orolas....

Are going by letters? Okay.

_r_las

"On, Shadowfax! We must hasten. Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled. See, there is the fire on Amon Din, and flame on Eilenach; and there they go speeding west: Nardol,/_r_las/, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad, and the Halifirien on the borders of Rohan."

***Valandil*** · 10-14-2008, 07:42 AM

'Brelas'?

Midge · 10-14-2008, 02:11 PM

We're getting closer...

"On, Shadowfax! We must hasten. Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled. See, there is the fire on Amon Din, and flame on Eilenach; and there they go speeding west: Nardol,/_relas/, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad, and the Halifirien on the borders of Rohan."

***Varnafindë*** · 10-14-2008, 03:31 PM

I seem to remember there being more vowels in that name.
Eralas?

Midge · 10-14-2008, 05:40 PM

Well.. that's it, that's not how you spell it, but we'd already established the SECOND missing letter was an "e". The first missing letter is "E" also. So Varna got it.

***Varnafindë*** · 10-14-2008, 07:48 PM

I should have noticed that the rest of the name was in your post already and just have offered
E

Anyway - on for the next one:

***Valandil*** · 10-14-2008, 10:58 PM

"Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies,
because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself?
You don't really suppose, do you, that all your
adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck,
just for your sole benefit?"

That would be Gandalf!

***Varnafindë*** · 10-14-2008, 11:16 PM

It would indeed! Everything correct - your go!

***Valandil*** · 10-16-2008, 08:22 AM

Forgot I was up.

I'll try to post this evening.

***Valandil*** · 10-17-2008, 12:48 AM

If it isn't too obvious, my mother tongue isn't English

.
But less number of proper nouns makes it a breather.

Barliman speaking to Aragorn?

Ilfirin

***Valandil*** · 10-17-2008, 08:28 AM

All correct on the words so far. Ilfirin - it was not said to Aragorn, but Barliman Butterbur was the speaker!

Midge · 10-17-2008, 08:24 PM

crocks!

***Valandil*** · 10-17-2008, 09:54 PM

Yes - very good all! I suppose those might be the only uses of 'crocks' and 'acrobatics' in all of JRRT's writings!

Your turn, Midge.

***Valandil*** · 10-20-2008, 09:47 PM

Yooo-hoooo...

Mi-idge...!

You're getting... almost... as bad as me!

Midge · 10-21-2008, 02:05 PM

I know, I know.

Stupid school... I've got a scholarship to nurse back to health... and this past weekend my boyfriend had family in town (brother, wife and SEVEN kids, plus three dogs and a raccoon!) so I didn't have time to BREATHE, let alone even think about mooting.

It's been since FRIDAY since I last posted. I've got an essay rough draft to write tonight, but I promise. I'll post a quote. I don't have a tolkien text with me now or I would do it now.

Be patient, and I apologize for the wait!
