They used Sindarin... and I can't say more since it's the answer.

Radagast, may I ask for a teeny, tiny hint - something, anything. It's gotta have something to do with dialect, but I can't seem to be getting anywhere in my search...

Radagast The Brown · 08-06-2005, 08:36 PM

Well... it's not in Appendices A,B or C if it helps. And I think the answer can also be found in Unfinished Tales...

Lotesse · 08-06-2005, 08:39 PM

Thanx, Raddy! I shall keep on looking...

Lotesse · 08-06-2005, 10:04 PM

a-HA!! Found it! The accent that the east-elves in Lorien had in their speaking of Sindarin; it was the accent that misled Frodo, as well as his own "limited acquaintance" with the language.

One of the reasons I love these trivia threads so much is that it really gives one an opportunity to constantly learn more and more about the beautiful intricacies of Tolkien's stories, of which I cannot seem to get enough of.

Radagast The Brown · 08-07-2005, 09:38 AM

Yay....

Lotesse · 08-11-2005, 06:57 PM

Lotesse · 08-12-2005, 12:17 AM

Of course you got it right, Valandil!

***Valandil*** · 08-12-2005, 12:22 AM

Lotesse · 08-13-2005, 03:25 PM

Then what exactly do you mean - 'more than one dwarf', or what? Do you need the answer in a different language?

I'm a little confused here...

***Valandil*** · 08-13-2005, 03:27 PM

Dwarfs?

rohirrim TR · 08-13-2005, 03:44 PM
