The first one is in Elvish....and is described in the Silm. The second is English......any takers???

If nobody gets them I'll give the answers tomorrow so we can get the thread moving again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nuranar 04-21-2003 03:10 PM

I've got the first, but I'm still having trouble with the second. Even the slightest hint would be appreciated...

Eruanna 04-21-2003 03:15 PM

OK then....I didn't think they were too difficult (but then, I knew the answers [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) The first one is:

NIRNAETH ARNOEDIAD or Tears Unnumbered

The second one is:

YEAR OF LAMENTATION

I guess the floor is open [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna 04-22-2003 02:49 PM

I'm so sorry Nuranar, I didn't notice your post before I posted the answers [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

(Now that I've looked at the times on our posts, I think we were posting at the same time!)

Why don't you have a turn now? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

NELLY RANG SEA

BILL RIDDLE RAN ICE

Eruanna 04-25-2003 08:27 AM

I think the first one is

ERYN LAS GALEN which was the name given to Mirkwood after it was cleansed of evil. I'm working on the second......a hint would be nice [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Saucepan Man 04-25-2003 08:41 AM

"Aha!" Cried Saucepan, leaping in, "I have the second one ...".

Idril Celebrindal. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna 04-25-2003 09:05 AM

Curses.....Saucepan Man.....foiled again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

doug*platypus 04-25-2003 09:10 AM

"A-ha! *snaffle-snaffle*" cried Doug, "But where's your next anagram?"

I was a little disappointed when I saw there were no unsolved ones, so I thought that I'd continue. Feel free to butt back in with your own, O Saucepan.

U LIVE IN THE UNLIT

MINE BEER ON ARCH

The first one is kind of relevant to the person or place, but I don't think that the second person or place ever actually put their beer on an arch.

Eruanna 04-25-2003 10:42 AM

They would be:

Luthien Tinuviel

and

Beren Erchamion

(Ha! Take that Saucepan Man! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

The Saucepan Man 04-25-2003 10:57 AM

Hmm. Poetic justice, I suppose ... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-25-2003 04:24 PM

Lol... poor Saucepan... you anagram people, go play on Tolkien's letters. It's great fun, and I can't spell [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Definately a challenge (doug*platypus' would have been great) because your words actually have to make a phrase.

The Saucepan Man 05-15-2003 06:37 PM

Your go, Eruanna ...

Eruanna 05-16-2003 03:02 PM

Sorry....I've been puzzling over Tolkien's Letters!

This is definitely easier [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

O! A MARVAL

FLOOD FORTRESS

The Saucepan Man 05-19-2003 06:38 PM

O! A MARVAL = Valaroma, the horn of Orome

FLOOD FORTRESS = Lord of Forests, the translation of Tauron, one of Orome's names.

Eruanna 05-20-2003 11:26 AM

Correct, Saucepan. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Saucepan Man 05-20-2003 06:24 PM

Thank you kindly, Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Now, let's see what's on the menu ...

LOG FEELER LASAGNE

and

MONGOL FIGS IN OIL

TolkienGurl 05-21-2003 12:53 PM

The first (LOG FEELER LASAGNE) is Legolas Greenleaf, and the second (MONGOL FIGS IN OIL) is Gimli Son of Gloin!

~TolkienGurl

The Saucepan Man 05-21-2003 01:27 PM

You are correct, TolkienGurl. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl 05-22-2003 12:11 PM

Thanks, Saucepan Man. Here are two new ones:

FRANK DINING GOLF DUE

CORDS OF VALE

Both are names for the same person.

Eruanna 05-23-2003 05:25 PM

I think these are:

King Finrod Felagund
and
Lord of Caves [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl 05-24-2003 10:08 AM

Yep! Good job, Eruanna! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Arestevana 06-11-2003 02:57 PM

Edit: OH NO! Scratch that, I screwed up. Okay, now I know why no one could figure them out. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Well, I'd say it's been more than 10 days, so:

The Grits Fawn

Bob No Hit

luthien-elvenprincess 03-06-2004 07:44 AM

It looks like
West Farthing
Hobbiton

The Perky Ent 03-06-2004 08:29 AM

Correct! Hmm, i didn't know it would be that easy....oh well. :( Your Turn

luthien-elvenprincess 03-06-2004 08:51 AM

Want good dress for...
Who tried

luthien-elvenprincess 03-08-2004 02:55 PM

Yoooooou-hoooooo, anyone around?;)

bilbo_baggins 03-09-2004 12:05 PM

the second one is 'third woe'? And the first one, are the periods included?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-09-2004 06:05 PM

"Third woe" is not correct. The periods are not part of the answer.:)

luthien-elvenprincess 03-12-2004 12:38 PM

Helloooooooo (echo)...:)
