That was one of those cases where I didn't really think my suggestion was correct either. "Discard" didn't make sense in the context. But at least we could get that confirmed.

Good that you got both that and the rest correct!

Thanks. Had a full weekend, and will try to post soon. Gotta start looking for one to put up.

Beyond the marches of Doriath my heart urges me;
I long rather for assault upon the Enemy,
than for/_e_e_s_/on the/_o_d_r_a_d_.

Is the speaker Túrin?

***Valandil*** · 02-12-2017, 09:03 PM

Good job Calandil! All correct so far, including speaker.

***Varnafindë*** · 02-17-2017, 06:36 PM

This is the second time I look at those last two words - and I still can't make sense of them.
I might try again next week ...

***Valandil*** · 02-28-2017, 10:19 AM

Woooo-hooooo... Wake up, quoters!

***Earniel*** · 03-05-2017, 08:31 AM

I'm with Varna, I currently can't make sense of the last words.

***Valandil*** · 03-05-2017, 10:14 AM

Hmmm... wonder what hints I could give. I have re-checked the letters, and I typed one wrong in the first word.

I also just noticed I accepted one incorrect, small word. I will correct those below. I think I checked it on my phone, and just didn't notice. Here's that:

Beyond the marches of Doriath my heart urges me;
I long rather for assault upon the Enemy,
than for/_e_e_c_/of the/_o_d_r_a_d_.

By way of actual hint - the last word is a compound word. Helpful? And - the letter I had typed wrong makes the same sound as the correct one.

***Valandil*** · 03-11-2017, 06:28 PM

So... what kind of hint are we looking for?

***Varnafindë*** · 03-22-2017, 12:56 AM

Perhaps we're desperate enough now to need some vague hints of a synonym? To one of the compound parts, perhaps? Or would that be too much, Eärniel?

***Valandil*** · 03-22-2017, 08:44 AM

Maybe if I just give the first letter of each word for now:

Beyond the marches of Doriath my heart urges me;
I long rather for assault upon the Enemy,
than for/de_e_c_/ of the /bo_d_r_a_d_.

If that doesn't do it, I could add more.

***Earniel*** · 03-28-2017, 02:34 PM

Well, I'm fine with anything that helps, really.

Is the last word 'borderlands'?

***Valandil*** · 03-28-2017, 09:20 PM

Yes, it is! And welcome back!

***Varnafindë*** · 04-11-2017, 09:02 PM

decency? I'm not sure it makes sense, but it's worth trying ...

***Valandil*** · 04-11-2017, 09:39 PM

Not 'decency' - but the 'n' is correct!

***Varnafindë*** · 04-13-2017, 09:36 PM

defence !!!

That's it! Your turn!
