Honestly, is it really that difficult? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] It is a character in LotR. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ooh, makes me hungry!

But no, I was thinking more of a geographical location . . .

LePetitChoux 12-26-2002 05:47 AM

elvenesse?

I've never heard of it, but it seems like a place name... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

piosenniel 12-26-2002 01:29 PM

Elvenesse, it is! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

A collective term which seems to refer to all the lands of the Elves, both west and east of the Great Sea.

Your turn!

Just as a random trivia fact, BK is an acronym for Burger King. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your "title" gave it away, it's Dwimmerlaik!

OK, the K doesn't give a lot of choice....

I haven't got a clue! I've been workig at it for ages, and I still don't know! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Is it animal, vegetable or mineral? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

piosenniel 12-28-2002 05:43 AM

It is an Elven word (Quenyan) - refers to Men.

LePetitChoux 12-28-2002 02:45 PM

No idea...I don't speak Quenian... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

piosenniel 12-28-2002 02:54 PM

Sorry - it is from the Silmarillion.

Apanónar - (after-born) the name given to Men by the Eldar.

LePetitChoux 01-04-2003 05:27 AM

Unless my calculation is incorrect, I make it a week since the last post. Yay! I claim the turn to be mine

tom bombariffic 01-09-2003 10:08 AM

how about a clue?

LePetitChoux 01-09-2003 01:13 PM

Well, the answer to the first one appeared in the Hobbit, and was disliked by many.

The second may be found in Gondor. It is a place name.

LePetitChoux 01-11-2003 06:53 AM

For Goodness' Sake, people! Where is your sense of sportsman(or woman)ship? It isn't all that hard! http://www.smilies.nl/dieren/grommit.gif
C'mon, guess!

Another clue: The first one is a weapon, and the second is in Minas Tirith.

Rimbaud 01-17-2003 01:28 PM

The relevant answer is Rath Celerdain.

When the lady becomes overly strident, a gentle comment may quieten her:

And Rimbaud saves the day once more!

I have puzzled over this new puzzlery, and would like to request a clue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rimbaud 01-26-2003 05:51 PM

Think Toad in Toad Hall.

Rimbaud 01-27-2003 08:55 AM

Another clue: a popular Indian bread.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 01-27-2003 09:40 AM

It's Nan-tathren, the Land of Willows, my old beansprout.

[ January 27, 2003: Message edited by: Squatter of Amon Rudh ]

Rimbaud 01-27-2003 09:46 AM

That's the one, Squatter, my delightful Jaffa-Cake of a friend.

Please do go right on ahead with an anagram of your own.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 01-27-2003 10:35 AM

Very well, my old fig roll,

Go North. Darn

Rimbaud 01-27-2003 11:53 AM

Nargothrond, old apple turnover of linguistic fortitude.

I'll warn you, this piscine mafia have horrific tactics:

Peeing Cod Mob.

Have room for another player?

Deeping Coomb, I think the answer is.

Try this:

The lights were out, we grabbed the swag unnoticed:

Sef'n Grand! Boo coo!!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 01-29-2003 10:55 AM

Would that be "Beacons of Gondor", by any chance?

What? Crooks bred of 'em?

Envinyatar 01-29-2003 08:58 PM

A Shire classic: The Red Book of Westmarch

Sorry! Can't pay up!

Fresh out 'n' I. O. U.

Rimbaud 01-30-2003 10:21 PM

Ah, a sneaky one, Envinyatar. I was looking for Húrin. House of Túrin, though, I believe is it.
