Quote Game - Part 10 - Page 19

Midge · 12-30-2008, 11:16 PM

Is that word "timbers"?

Goldberry1 · 12-31-2008, 03:28 PM

It is! Your turn, Midge!

Midge · 12-31-2008, 10:59 PM

Uh... Okay. For the sake of keeping the thread moving, I defect to whomever is the first person to see this and want to post a quote. I am in Wyoming and do not have my books with me. If (doubtful, but still...) no one has posted by Sunday when I get in, I'll post one then.

All the quote-posting Mooters fear and tremble at the very thought of taking a quote from the mighty Midge!
[/deep, booming voice]

Hey, guys.. I'm back home. Great week! Well, I guess since no one else jumped, I'll post a quote.

"A/_l_e_e_h/_i_t_o_i_l/,/
_i_i_r_n/_e_n_/m_r_e_/
o/_e_e_/a_l_r/_l_n_t_/!/
N_-c_a_r_d/_a_a_-d_r_e_/
o/_a_a_h_e_m_n/_n_o_a_h/,/
_a_u_l_s/,/_e/_i_n_t_o_/
n_f/_e_r/,/_i/_e_/a_a_o_/!/"

This is all Elvish, so if it seems unfair, I will post another.

***Valandil*** · 01-05-2009, 11:11 PM

Well - I don't know my Elvish, so I'm out of this one. Are there enough of you who know it that can solve this?

(Midge - if the shoe was on the other foot, could you?

)

***Earniel*** · 01-06-2009, 06:49 AM

"A Elbereth Gilthoniel,
silivren penna miriel
o/_e_e_/a_l_r/_l_n_t_/!/
N_-c_a_r_d/_a_a_-d_r_e_/
o/_a_a_h_e_m_n/_n_o_a_h/,/
_a_u_l_s/,/_e/_i_n_t_o_/
n_f/_e_r/,/_i/_e_/a_a_o_/!/"

Going on a memory, so spelling is no doubt off.

Count Comfect · 01-06-2009, 10:38 AM

4th line ends with "diriel" I believe.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 01-06-2009, 12:00 PM

I think the fourth line starts with "Ni-" maybe?

Singers: Gildor Inglorion with his merry band of wandering Noldor.

Count Comfect · 01-06-2009, 12:29 PM

My memory jogs me..."palan-diriel"

Midge · 01-07-2009, 06:45 PM

actually, once I recognized it, I would have been able to. Back in my uber-fanatic days, this was a song I memorized.

Everything is right except for DPR's "Ni". Singers are NOT Gildor Inglorien and Co.

You guys accepting this challenge?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 01-08-2009, 12:41 PM

If Curu or Varna would drop by this might be solved by now.

I don't know Elvish.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-10-2009, 06:39 AM

Curufin or Aika.
I have dropped by and walked out again.

I don't know very much Elvish. I know enough to recognize the difference between Quenya and Sindarin, but not when I can see only half of the letters

If the singer is not Gildor & Co, my next suggestion would be Galadriel.

***Earniel*** · 01-10-2009, 07:54 AM

Well, I doubt I can shake further words out of my sleeve. So I'm out on this one as well.

Count Comfect · 01-10-2009, 02:33 PM

My brain is not up to providing any more, except I believe Sam and Frodo both say this at different points in the book.

But I don't know the Elvish; I'm out.

Ilfirin · 01-12-2009, 09:13 AM

I was never in on this one

Anyways guessing the speaker, I think it's Frodo who recites the above lines when those Black Riders close in on him at Weathertop.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 01-21-2009, 02:57 PM

Can we cry "uncle" and get a new quote? Is that allowed?

***Varnafindë*** · 01-21-2009, 03:07 PM

I think it's time for that now, Midge.

Goldberry1 · 02-10-2009, 03:34 PM

... Has the game stalled out?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 02-10-2009, 03:40 PM

No sign of Midge for the longest time. I move that we start anew.

***Varnafindë*** · 02-10-2009, 04:42 PM

Why don't you post a new one, DPR.
If no-one else minds ...
