Manveru · 12-15-2004, 07:58 PM

could the third one be 'tasks'?

Count Comfect · 12-15-2004, 08:05 PM

"come under command" near the end?

***Valandil*** · 12-15-2004, 08:32 PM

Whoo! I've gotten really rusty at this. Where's Artanis... sleepin'??

"In the wide lands without, /_l_m_a_i_,/ many strange /_h_n_/ (things?) may befall one, and tasks unlooked for he /_a_d/ on end.
Other shalt the wanderer /_e_u_n/_h_n/ as we set forth.
That I have done, I have none under command dreaded than the man of the /_u_r_./
The King alone should judge me, and him that comes with me."

I'm quite sure I've got some words wrong... but hoping I have more than a few right!

Count Comfect · 12-15-2004, 08:35 PM

"greater" rather than "dreaded"?

***Valandil*** · 12-15-2004, 08:47 PM

Yes, good! I got a bit more, perhaps:

"In the wide lands without, /_l_m_a_i_,/ many strange /_h_n_/ (things?) may befall one, and tasks unlooked for be laid on end.
Other shall the wanderer return than as he set forth.
That I have done, I have none under command greater than the man of the guard.
The King alone should judge me, and him that comes with me."

Manveru · 12-15-2004, 09:27 PM

theres not enough room for 'things' the 's' would be cut off

Elemmírë · 12-15-2004, 09:47 PM

They're wondering if there might be a typo.

Good luck with that possible last word...

Artanis · 12-16-2004, 02:41 AM

It IS a typo, 'things' is correct, sorry about that.
Yes I have been asleep, but I seem to have kept you occupied for a while.

Good work all of you!

Here is what you've got:

"In the wide lands without, /_l_m_a_i_,/ many strange things may befall one, and tasks unlooked for be laid on/_n_./
Other shall the wanderer return than as he set forth.
_hat I have done, I have _o_e under command greater than the _a_ of the Guard.
The King alone should judge me, and him that comes with me."

Elemmírë · 12-16-2004, 02:57 AM

Three whole words which may or may not be right:

"In the wide lands without, /_l_m_a_i_,/ many strange things may befall one, and tasks unlooked for be laid on one.
Other shall the wanderer return than as he set forth.
What I have done, I have some under command greater than the _a_ of the Guard.
The King alone should judge me, and him that comes with me."

Artanis · 12-16-2004, 03:11 AM

'What' and 'one' is correct, 'some' is wrong.

Any takers on the speaker? That may help to find the first missing word too, perhaps.

***Fat middle*** · 12-16-2004, 05:28 AM

"done" instead of "some"?

"man" for the last word?

Is he Voronwë? I have no idea for the first word, though.

Artanis · 12-16-2004, 06:06 AM

'done' is correct, 'man' is wrong.

It is indeed Voronwë, speaking to the Captain of the Guard of the outer gate of Gondolin. I think the captain's name can be translated as 'Star-sword'.

"In the wide lands without, /_l_m_a_i_,/ many strange things may befall one, and tasks unlooked for be laid on one.
Other shall the wanderer return than as he set forth.
What I have done, I have done under command greater than the /_a_/ of the Guard.
The King alone should judge me, and him that comes with me."

***Fat middle*** · 12-16-2004, 07:00 AM

"Law" for the last.

I'm not fluent in elvish languages... but I beleive that Star is "ellen", at least in Quenya. For sword the only word I recall is Mor-megil

Elemmagil

***Valandil*** · 12-16-2004, 07:01 AM

'say'?

OK - now the proper name. Too bad I don't know my Elvish!

"Elemmarie"? (sounds like a good match for our own 'Elemmire'!

)

Artanis · 12-16-2004, 08:23 AM

Very good Gordy!

'Law' is correct, and Elemmagil is as close as it can get. Elemmakil is the correct name (Perhaps 'megil' is a sindarised form of 'makil'?)

Val - Elemmirë is Quenya for 'Star-jewel' (elen-mirë)

Wow!

I'm short of time now. Could you take my go, Val? Thanx.

***Valandil*** · 12-17-2004, 08:26 AM

Unable myself, right now. If you can't take it yet, go ahead and open the floor.

***Fat middle*** · 12-17-2004, 09:35 AM

Okay then. I'm putting a short one:

"Y_u/_e_e_b_r?/_u_/I/_h_u_h_,/I/
_h_u_h_,/t_a_/t_e/_a_l/_f/_i_-g_l_d/_a_/a/_o_g/_g_/a_o."

***Valandil*** · 12-17-2004, 10:52 AM

"You remember? But I thought, I thought,that the Fall of Gil-galad was a long age ago."

Frodo?
