For they are a little people, smaller than Dwarves: less stout and stocky, that is, even when they are not actually much shorter. Their height is variable, ranging between two and four feet of our measure. They seldom now reach three feet; but they have dwindled, they say, and in ancient days they were taller.

Isildur to Elendur at the Disaster of the Gladden fields

[mormegil]

I don't know how you do it but it's correct.

[Guinevere]

'Tis just speculation. ;)
/-/ must be "I" if it isn't "a". and d- had to be "do" , so the word in between had to be an auxiliary verb like "must" or "will" - then I just tried out possible words..."I knew that I must do (it or so)" "but I feared the -a-- (dark? pain?) " and then it made suddenly "click"

Or course it only works with quotes that for some reason touch me and therefore stay in my mind. As I once said to Firefoot, this game is so enjoyable because it gives us an opportunity to share with others the words that we love! :)

It was six hundred years after the departure of the survivors of the Edain over the sea to Númenor that a ship first came again out of the West to Middle-earth and passed up the Gulf of Lhûn

[the guy who be short]

Though I think you had a mistake on glimmering and put an s where the g wentErm... no, of course not. My edition has "slimmering" - I've always presumed she was dieting or something. :rolleyes:

I'm unsure who gets this. By rights it should be morm, but seeing as his being alive is now questionable... :p

[the guy who be short]

There's no reason to fear, morm. She is, after all, a continent away. ;)

'A's please. The most common letter in Quenya, you know.

[Glirdan]

Any S's in there?

[Kath]

I'm sure I could hire someone! But no it's cool, just incredibly irritating!

[Firefoot]

[Glirdan]

There has to be an S. I think I'm slightly obsessed with that letter now. :rolleyes:

[mormegil]

Some revealing "O" could be helpful

There is malice in this sword. The dark heart of the smith still dwells in it. It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long.

[Guinevere]

Well, mariners are not found in so many places... Besides, I am very fond of UT! ;)
