[Tuor of Gondolin]

r and r= rest and recreation
military leave, a vacation, etc. epecially when needed to recuperate.

I think it would be better if it still counts, since if your word would have been Elessar (aragorn) and someone would have asked the gem, there would be no possible way left for us to ask the correct word, Elessar.

It would be best of people hold off from asking questions until the asker has given the answer that they had in mind and the next letter has been given. Otherwise it tends to get somewhat confusing.So in that case you can wait until Perky gives his answer...

[The Perky Ent]

Woah. Sorry. Loss of post. Wasn't keeping track. Forget my post. It's rubbish. My answer was Elrohir, but aparently it's already been said. So sorry. My mind must be going. As a matter of fact, I think it is. Terribly sorry.

[The Perky Ent]

The first letter is W!

[Firefoot]
