Your turn, Valandil.

***Valandil*** · 03-05-2009, 08:14 AM

Wrong words are Earniel's: 'can' / 'Thither' / 'ae'

and CC's: 'remove'

Other words are correct.

Count Comfect · 03-05-2009, 09:20 AM

The lord's errands, tell me, may, what goes forward? Whither, he passed

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 03-05-2009, 10:23 AM

The Lord's errands are urgent and should not be hindered by me,
but tell me quickly, if you may, what goes forward?
Whither has my Lord gone? I have just come on duty,
but I heard that he passed towards the closed door,
and men were bearing Faramir before him.

~Beregond

All correct DPR - your turn!

I'll be offline from around 4:00 this afternoon until Saturday evening, just FYI.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 03-08-2009, 08:46 AM

I didn't think this was that hard.

***Valandil*** · 03-08-2009, 08:53 AM

I'll take a crack at it:

"O sing to them all birds are dead,
/s_e_d/ for this feathered /_h_f_/,
and /_e_a_l/_o_e/ tiny for the wonder on /_h_i_/ need!"

***Earniel*** · 03-08-2009, 01:38 PM

O king to whom all birds... in their need.

Count Comfect · 03-08-2009, 01:39 PM

in their need

***Varnafindë*** · 03-08-2009, 03:37 PM

O king to whom all birds are dear,
speed now this feathered /_h_f_/,
and /_e_a_l/some pity for the Noldor in their need!

Is the speaker Fingon?

***Earniel*** · 03-08-2009, 03:52 PM

If Fingon, that the first unsolved word is likely 'shaft'.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 03-09-2009, 10:03 AM

Excellent teamwork y'all.

Correct so far:

"O king to whom all birds are dear,
speed now this feathered shaft,
and /_e_a_l/some pity for the Noldor in their need!"

And the speaker is indeed Fingon the Valiant.

The last word doesn't seem to fit the sentence in today's way of speaking English so if you have a guess but it doesn't sound like something one would say in the 21st century, try it anyway and you just might be right. It is a word we still use but the context strikes me as odd or antiquated. This probably isn't helping so I'll stop rambling. DPR out.

***Varnafindë*** · 03-09-2009, 02:10 PM

recall?

It doesn't seem to make sense, but after what you just said, maybe I shouldn't expect it to ...

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 03-09-2009, 02:24 PM

Recall it is! Maybe my hint wasn't as confusing as I thought!

You're up.

***Varnafindë*** · 03-09-2009, 10:00 PM

It certainly helped me! So did the other guesses before mine - I suddenly recognized the situation and could correct or supply the wrong and the missing bits. Very good teamwork indeed!

Here's a new one:
