nen echui

my reason: Im pretty sure this is the only answer in the entire "languages of middle earth" dictionary I havent said...I dont want to use the encyclopedia of arda...but i guess I have to.... :(

Tarn Aeluin.

Ae - Ea (Universe reversed)
Luin - Blue
after
Tar - Not sure about that
N - North (direction)

Please say night is wrong(not that I have anything against you ninght, just Ive been guessing and guessing and guessing...you know what) Tell him hes right Im annoyed with that clue

Not sure?
 

NK, Tar means high in Eldarin!

But you got it. :) Sorry, Morsul.

good job night secondly I now look at that and go "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" ;)

Ill have my revenge! :D

Maybe you will. ;)

I'll post a new one when I get home.

OK, here we go:

Half an archer blinds us.

hmmmm

hal an archer...a halfling

makes us blind... destryoys the eye of Sauron

Frodo

Nono, you're thinking the wrong way. Look on page 1 of this thread, SPM has made a good guide to Cryptic Clues.

I know I was merely hoping you used straight clues

Herumor?

Half an archer=her

and a tumor can make you blind=tumor-t=umor

her+umor= herumor

Nope!

Anar

the sun blinds us if we stare at it

an archer -cher= anar

Score. ;)

ok then sorry for the wait here it is

Mr.Myers, Mr.Affleck, and Mr.Atkinson watch the fun clothed man

fun clothed man is a straight clue

Mr. Affleck think of his first name

as for the other two think of parts they played

That helps ...
 

Mr Myers -> Wayne -> Iarwain
Mr Affleck -> Ben
Mr Atkinson -> Blackadder -> Adder -> Adar

The whole = Iarwain Ben-Adar, aka Tom Bombadil, a fun clothed man. :D

10 days are up ...
 

So here's another:

A thousand found in bird heard by inquisitive fellow.

well...i wont guess but you were right good job!

Thanks Morsul. :)

No takers?

OK, here's a clue. The word "heard" is often used in cryptic clues to denote a "sounds like".

I'm waiting ... :rolleyes:

Oh my, it really is a hard one! :D

A guess.
 

Peregrin Took.

The peregrine is a bird (in fact it's the fastest living thing), which sounds like the first name of our inquisitive fellow.

The "thousand" part is lost on me, though . . .

'Fraid not, Nil. That's the wrong bird and the wrong inquisitive fellow. :p :D

Who needs this, anyway?!
 

*walks away, slams door, like SLAM!*

*walks back to the Quiz Room on tiptoe*

(whispers) I will entuluva. But how about a hint, first? ;)

Well OK then, since this question might otherwise go unanswered for a long while.


Think Roman ... :smokin:

Sméagol?

Hey! Good to see you back Turambar. How ya doin'? :)

But I am afraid that I must demand of you an explanation for your answer. ;)

Explanation
 

Well I tried to post a picture of a seagull but that doesn't work on BD. And M (besides being a decent old movie) is the Roman numeral corresponding to 1,000.

That'll do for me. :)

All yours ...

New Clue
 

Uh . . .
 

Hint, please?

"About" = scramble pointer; "swift ones" = swift fliers.

E: And "risers" might be considered a bit of a stright clue, in addition to being part of the anagram ("magic risers"). :smokin:

OK, I've waited long enough ...
 

The answer is Crissaegrim.

An anagram of "magic risers", and home to Thorondor, King of the Eagles, and his kin.

Thank you, thank you!

Bump
 

You're up, oh highly-unsuited-to-sneaking-silently man.

just for the sake of having one up here I have a super simple one

Ben Stein's client also is gellin

this is really easy in fact I'll add look through my older posts to find out abouut the "gellin" part of the clue

OK, 10 days is up so I shall reclaim my question. :p ;)

Should be a pretty easy one this:

Tearful girl upset in line

Hmmm . . .
 

Tearful girl . . .
Upset "in line" . . .

Niniel!

But of course.

Take it away, Nil. :)

This bump is officially sanctioned
 

Nilp?

Dear Lord... I arrived yesterday, so I read today 13 pages of cryptics... and then English isn't my native language... These are hard nuts to crack for a Dutchie. But giving up isn't a word I know...

Sorry for the interuption of the game... Keep them coming please!

If Nilpaurion Felagund isn't reacting I like to toss one in. I think I have made up a good one, but I don't seem to be able so solve any off these myself :(
