The/days/are/dark/,and there is no hope for men,
for the/F_i_h_u_/are/men/. Therefore I am minded to try that/_o_n_e_/which our forefather Earendil took of old, to sail into the West, be there/_a_/or no, and to/_p_a_/to the Valar, even to Manwe himself, if may be, and beseech his aid ere all is lost. Missing now: at least 4 words, plus those words that I haven't solved correctly above.

Your second use of "men" is not correct. I think the rest is good, but have to get home and confirm with my book later.

Confirmed - that was your only other incorrect solve. So here's an update of what we've got:
"The days are dark,and there is no hope for men, for the /F_i_h_u_/ are /_e_/. Therefore I am minded to try that /_o_n_e_/ which our forefather Earendil took of old, to sail into the West, be there /_a_/ or no, and to /_p_a_/ to the Valar, even to Manwe himself, if may be, and beseech his aid ere all is lost." ~ Amandil

OK - we have a TV game show in the US called "Jeopardy" where contestants select letters which are revealed. Rather than have you pick and go back-and-forth, I'll give you "f" and "n":
"The days are dark,and there is no hope for men, for the /F_i_hfu_/ are fe_/. Therefore I am minded to try that /_o_n_e_/ which our forefather Earendil took of old, to sail into the West, be there /_an or no, and to speak to the Valar, even to Manwe himself, if may be, and beseech his aid ere all is lost."

First two solves correct.
'man' is not correct.

Correct! One word left.
Third letter "u"

BTW - after this solve, do we keep playing? Or are you ready for a break?
Or - are others out there eager to jump back into the game?

I'm still here but I have been away for a while.
I'm fine with continuing but slowly. Anything like a break is very likely to become permanent and that would be a shame. |

councel?
I feel that I have had a break for a while recently, and that I'm back now, ready for playing again. Slowly is good, though - not worrying about having to rush things.

The spelling is "counsel" for what someone gives, or demonstrates, in this case. Obviously, I'll take it, especially from a non-native English speaker. BTW, "council" is the body of people. Many mix those up.
Your turn.

A council can give counsel, then?
I wasn't sure about the spelling, whether it would be with a c or an s, so I was prepared to submit the other as my next guess if you had just not accepted the word - I wouldn't have offered two new letters there. You saved us time by taking it, though. Here goes. /_h_/D_a_o_/S_u_o_/m_g_t/_s_/w_t_/t_r_i_l_/e_f_c_/./ O_t_n/_/s_i_/t_/m_s_l_/:/"/I/_u_t/_i_d/_o_e/_e_n_/ o_/d_a_i_g/_i_h/_m_u_/./B_t/_/d_r_c_/s_r_k_/a_a_n_t/ _o_/G_l_u_/i_/n_e_e_/s_i_l/_o_e/./_e/_u_t/_i_t_r_/ S_u_o_'s/_l_n_/./I/_u_t/_a_e/_h_/C_u_c_l/_e_/t_a_/./'/
