The name is not given - just the position they held and the people of whom he/she was a part.

I think the occasion is when the last king of Arnor is up north with the "snow-people" - the Forochel??? - and they advise him not to go straight back by boat, but spend the winter with them. (He insists to leave, and perishes with the ship ...)
So the speaker would be some kind of Forochel leader - if I remember the name of the people rightly ...

Oh my - I thought I was watching this thread, but I totally missed your answer.
Yes - you are correct! It was the chief of the ice-men of Forochel. Your turn!

Yeah - they are the Lossoth! Got so flustered when I saw that I left your response dangling for three weeks!

"I may not be much good at climbing,
Mr. Frodo, but I do know something about rope and about knots. It's in the family, as you might say. Why, my grand-dad and my uncle Andy after him, him that was the Gaffer's oldest brother he had a rope- wall over by /T_g_field many a year. And I put as fast a hitch over the stump as any one could have done, in the Shire or out of it."

Tighfield?
Certainly this is Sam speaking.. P.S. I NEVER thought to put an h in that word! I was only trying vowels...

Yeah - the ones I just can't be sure of are ___field, where you're trying "Tighfield" (which may be right - I just don't remember the name) - and "rope wall" - but I can't get anything else to work there.

You might be right. I wondered that, but at the time it didn't seem any better. But now it does.
If "Tighfield" is not correct, maybe "Tegefield"?

Between you, you've got nearly there!
Sam is of course the speaker, and he speaks about "a rope-walk over by Tighfield". But one word is wrong: /_l_e_t/ is not "oldest".

Well... I was hoping we could go to someone else, but need to keep things moving now:
"eldest"?

"eldest" is correct.
Your turn, Valandil.

I was hoping the same thing, Val. If you want to pass it on, I don't mind doing it.

"Well, you have walked into a trap. Your fellows from Hobbiton did the same, and one is dead and the rest are prisoners. Put down your weapons! Then (do?) walk twenty paces and lie down. Any who try to break out will be shot."
The occasion is obvious, but I can't for the life of me remember who said it! |
