Thank you, Lizra.
On what day of the week did Frodo leave the Shire?

Do you mean what day did he leave Bag End or what day did he exit the Shire? Sorry to nitpick.

The great marshland region beneath the Emyn Muil that formed where the river Entwash flowed into the Anduin.
He left on a Wednesday, too, I believe...

I'm pretty sure it was Gildor's elves. Frodo mentioned they were "High elves," wouldn't they speak Quenya rather than Sindarian? I know they mentioned Elbereth, something Grey elves wouldn't normally do. It was either them or Frodo, because,

So if you say "Elbereth", it's Quenya, which is the language of the high elves? Hmmmm, That word gets used alot! I say Frodo.
Yes...... he tells Sam, "These are High Elves! They spoke the name of Elbereth!" (Waiting for radagast on both trivias!)

Yes, you're right. I thought the song was written in the common tongue (most of it is), but they do say Gilthoniel! O Elbereth twice! We shall have to wait for Melkor's significant othe(r???)

In the plot of the book it's Gildor's Elves, but in the diction of the book it's Frodo. Either way you're correct, as Elbereth is High (Quenya) Eldarin.
Now someone else's turn to ask..... |
