Correct, and that is sometimes how I find the quotes too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 06-20-2003 07:02 PM

The "ere" gave it away, as there aren't many words that begin with it.

Quote:

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

The Saucepan Man 06-20-2003 07:11 PM

OK, let's start with an 'E' please.

Beren87 06-20-2003 07:15 PM

Always a good choice, but it won't add too much here.

gilraën 06-21-2003 01:29 AM

May I have a U please?

Lyra Greenleaf 06-21-2003 05:40 AM

Wow, lots of response.

Orofaniel 06-21-2003 03:19 PM

Could I have any C's please?

Lyra Greenleaf 06-21-2003 05:39 PM

Are there any "T"s?

Beren87 06-22-2003 12:18 AM

Quote:

"-t/--/the/----/--/-u-/-a--,/a--/th-/-ha---/--/----,/a/-e--/---e-/--/-h-/a--."
Not much help I'm afraid. Not a "C" to be found.

Gwaihir the Windlord 06-22-2003 12:55 AM

B please

Beren87 06-22-2003 01:03 AM

Ah, welcome Gwaihir!


Quote:

"-t/--/the/----/--/-u-/-a--,/a--/th-/-ha---/--/----,/a/-e--/---e-/--/-h-/a--."
Not a single B I'm afraid.

Hm, I can guess some words. But it isn't a quotation I know well, so I haven't been able to find it so far.

Can I have an N ?
Oh, and didn't you forget an E in "O--rthro--" ? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
