Ladies and Gentlemen!
I have a little bit unusual question. I have found out the interesting citation in archives of one of FIDO-net echo-conferences, that is devoted to problems of books by J.R.R. Tolkien. Unfortunately, the exact sourse of the citation was not called there. The supposition that the sourse is one of the letters of JRRT was only made. But in the "Letters" I have not found the citation.
Has somebody saw the citation before? What is it? Is it really the citation from the letter by JRRT, which was not included in the "Letters", but was published somewhere else? Or is it imagination of the author of any manual on Middle-earth? Or is it a fragment of some Roling Play Game Rules? Or something else? (I don`t believe it is a joke.)
I understand, that my question is of that sort "Go there, I don`t know where, bring that, I don`t know, what". But may be somebody can help me. Here the citation:
=====
"...Female orcs are similar to males, and they often go to war with orc bands. Because they are shorter and thinner, most of them are snaga. Neither human nor orc from different tribe can distinguish them. Some of them carry children in backpacks. When orc with child is slain, other orcs kill child. [...] Littles were often given to elves, and became elves themselves. But they have instinktive hatred to orcs, and elves could do nothing with it. [...]"
=====
Sincerely yours,
Dmitry.
