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!)

But I am pretty sure the Elbereth-being-Quenya thing is right.

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..... |

Oh damn, now I'm not so sure. Elbereth is also known as Varda in Aman - is this Valinorean - ie.Quenya ? Does anyone know someone on the moot who is a lanuguages guru - I'm not !
The answer I wanted though, was the one posted - at the meeting of Frodo,Sam & Pippin with Gildor's Elves....So come on somebody - ask a question......(Only from FOTR ) |

I think I'm supposed to be asking a question...so here it goes...
How long did Gandalf take to decide which direction to go in while the company was stuck in Moria?

This is the hardest part of the Trivia games!
The patient waiting. I hope you don't ask, "Who refers to Nindalf?"!
