L, please.

Guinevere 09-17-2005 01:40 PM

"--/ ---ll/ ------/ ----/ -------/," (.....) "-----/ ----/ --/ --ll/ --/ ---/ -/ ---ll-/ l---/ --l-."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-18-2005 04:07 AM

N next...

Guinevere 09-19-2005 12:33 AM

"--/ ---ll/ --n---/ ----/ ---n-n-/," (.....) "-----/ ----/ --/ --ll/ --/ ---/ -/ ---ll-/ l-n-/ --l-."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-19-2005 12:40 AM

...and the inevitable Ts, once again, please.

Guinevere 09-19-2005 12:46 AM

Guten Morgen! :)

"--/ ---ll/ --n---/ t---/ ---n-n-/," (.....) "--t--/ t--t/ --/ --ll/ --/ ---/ -/ ---ll-/ l-n-/ --l-."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-19-2005 12:50 AM

Selber guten Morgen! ;)

Still not enough clues to go on - S, please.

Guinevere 09-19-2005 01:14 AM

"--/ s--ll/ --n-s-/ t--s/ ---n-n-/," (.....) "--t--/ t--t/ --/ --ll/ --/ ---/ -/ ---ll-/ l-n-/ --l-."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-19-2005 01:18 AM

Time for a vowel - A, please.

Guinevere 09-19-2005 01:25 AM

"--/ s-all/ --n-s-/ t--s/ ---n-n-/," (.....) "A-t--/ t-at/ --/ --ll/ --/ ---/ a/ --all-/ l-n-/ -al-."

Speaking to Niggle:
Quote:

'We shall finish this evening,' said Parish one day. 'After that we will go for a really long walk.'
Now that sounds like an excellent idea in lovely autumn weather like we're having right now! Maybe we'd find the Great Tree...

Guinevere 09-19-2005 01:12 PM

Yes, well done, Esty!
(Lovely weather?! Perhaps on the mountains! :( Alas, here in the Swiss "Mittelland" we sit under tense "Hochnebel" - no sun at all and pretty cold.)

Estelyn Telcontar 09-19-2005 03:09 PM

Well, in unfriendly weather like that maybe this is good advice:
Quote:

'---- -- --- ---- -- ---- ---?' .... '-- ---'-. --'- ---- ----------- -------- ----- -------- -- -------. --- ---- --- ----, --- ------ --- ----.

Guinevere 09-20-2005 07:12 AM

Let's start with S's this time.

Estelyn Telcontar 09-20-2005 09:31 AM

4s
 
'---- -- --- ---- -- ---- ---?' .... '-- ---'-. --'s ---- ----------- s------- s---- -------- -- -------. --- ---- --- --s-, --- ------ --- ----.

Koneko 09-20-2005 11:01 AM

E?

Estelyn Telcontar 09-20-2005 11:18 AM

+4 Es
 
'---- -- --- ---- -- ---e ---?' .... '-e ---'-. --'s ---e ----------e s------- s---- -------- -- -------. --- ---- --- --s-, --- ------ --- ----.

Tuor in Gondolin 09-20-2005 11:33 AM

"t"s, please.

Estelyn Telcontar 09-20-2005 11:42 AM

good choice!
 
'---t -- --- ---t t- ---e ---?' .... '-e ---'t. -t's ---e ------t---e st------ st--- t------- -- --t----. T-- ---- --- --st, t-- ------ --- ----.'

Guinevere 09-20-2005 02:48 PM

Should I ask for a y now? ;)
But I think some N's would probably be more useful...

Estelyn Telcontar 09-20-2005 11:26 PM

+ N
 
'---t -- --- --nt t- ---e ---?' .... '-e --n't. -t's ---e ------t---e st-n--n- st--- t--n--n- -- n-t--n-. T-- ---- --- --st, t-- --n--- --- ----.'

Tuor in Gondolin 09-21-2005 09:54 AM

"o"s, please.

Estelyn Telcontar 09-21-2005 10:00 AM

O yes!
 
Good choice! Lots of 'em...

Quote:

'---t -o -o- --nt to -o-e -o-?' .... '-e -on't. -t's -o-e -o--o-t---e st-n--n- st--- t--n--n- o- not--n-. T-- -o-- -o- --st, t-- -on--- -o- ----.'

Guinevere 09-26-2005 12:57 PM

I thought Tuor of Gondolin would have solved it in the mean time!!! ;) Since he didn't take his chance, I can't resist any longer:

Quote:

What do you want to move for?" said the other toys. "We don't. It's more comfortable standing still thinking of nothing. The more you rest, the longer you live."
The toys said it to Roverandom, of course, while he was in the shop-window.

The opposite of this advice would be: "Wer rastet, der rostet" !

Estelyn Telcontar 09-26-2005 01:39 PM

Yes, that's right, Guinevere! I thought it's a cute quote, and we haven't had the toys as speakers yet! It's all yours.

Guinevere 09-28-2005 03:01 AM

thanks :)

"-----/ ---/ -------/ --/ -------/ ----/ ----/ -------/ ----/ ---/ ------/ --/ ----."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-28-2005 07:19 AM

It's always...
 
...T-time!

Tuor in Gondolin 09-28-2005 09:14 AM

"d"s, please.

Guinevere 09-28-2005 12:48 PM

7 T's and one D

"T----/ ---/ -------/ -t/ -------/ t--t/ ----/ ----d--/ --t-/ t--/ ----t-/ --/ ----."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-28-2005 03:03 PM

S, please...

Guinevere 09-29-2005 12:33 PM

TDS

"T----/ ---/ ------s/ -t/ -------/ t--t/ ----/ ----d--/ --t-/ t--/ ----ts/ --/ ---s."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-29-2005 01:11 PM

Hmmmm, tricksy! Let's have a vowel next - perhaps an "A" will help.

Guinevere 09-29-2005 01:32 PM

TDSA

"T----/ a--/ --a---s/ at/ -------/ t-at/ ----/ ----d--/ --t-/ t--/ --a-ts/ --/ ---s."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-29-2005 01:40 PM

Rs, please

Guinevere 09-29-2005 01:47 PM

TDSA R (good choice!)

"T--r-/ ar-/ -ra---s/ at/ -------/ t-at/ -r--/ -r--d--/ --t-/ t--/ --arts/ --/ ---s."

arcticstorm 09-29-2005 03:58 PM

h

Guinevere 09-30-2005 07:45 AM

TDSAR H (another good choice ;) )

"Th-r-/ ar-/ -ra---s/ at/ -------/ that/ -r--/ -r--d--/ --th/ th-/ h-arts/ --/ h--s."

Tuor in Gondolin 09-30-2005 08:38 AM

"e"s?

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2005 10:42 AM

Ah, a wonderful quote!
Quote:

'There are cravens at council that crow proudly with the hearts of hens'
Spoken by Offa (unfortunately deceased), quoted by Torhthelm in The Homecoming...

Guinevere 09-30-2005 12:15 PM

I knew you would see that one at once, Esty! :D
