Since Frodo was quite sick, and since that segment was "from his point of view", it was given that surreal quality often used to depict feverishness. Having been feverish before myself, believe me, it's wierd. People standing right over you seem to be miles away and what they say doesn't really make sense. I don't know if Elrond was speaking "incantations", but I'm sure that even if he was just saying "Hello how are you?" in Elvish it would have seemed freaky to Frodo.<P>The mist was probably all before Frodo's eyes.

What Elrond actually says is:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Frodo, lasto beth nīn, tolo dan na ngalad <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>which means 'Frodo, hear my voice, come back to [the] light.'<P>I don't know about the mist, though, but I guess it's like Diamond says, when you have a fever, everything looks something like that.<P>(information about the elvish found <A HREF="http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/movie_elvish.htm#frodo" TARGET=_blank>here</A>)
