Inziladun 06-13-2010 04:40 PM

H for me.

Erendis 06-15-2010 01:20 PM

"-y a---- -- ---- ------- -h-----,-y ----h a-- ------, -y ----- ---a--, -h- -h--- -- -y -a-- a -h--------, -y ----- a h-----a--,a-- -y ---a-h --a-h."

I know it is not really helpful so let mye see letters running!

Inziladun 06-15-2010 01:22 PM

All right, how about E?

Tuor in Gondolin 06-15-2010 02:30 PM

"C"s?

TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-15-2010 02:34 PM

Great choices everyone,it seems quite odvious now!

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-16-2010 01:18 PM

That it does, though I thought I'd give someone else a chance to chime in first.

"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

Smaug to Bilbo, during his second visit to Smaug's lair. That last could apply to my husband the morning after eating anything with garlic. :D

Erendis 06-16-2010 01:43 PM

I 'd rather say it applies to anyone eating garlic(especially if they cannot diggest it,like my family:D)

Anyway,congratulations Ibrīnišilpathānezel-sweet Este,how could you spell all of it-!The floor is yours!

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-16-2010 03:16 PM

Thank you.

Practice, not to mention copy and paste. :)

Here's another long one:

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

TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-16-2010 03:55 PM

How about some 'i's?

Tuor in Gondolin 06-16-2010 04:38 PM

"C's, please.

Inziladun 06-16-2010 07:17 PM

How about N?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-16-2010 07:23 PM

Lots of one, only a few of the other.

Erendis 06-17-2010 06:28 AM

OK...
So,may I have some E's?

Inziladun 06-17-2010 07:58 AM

No N's, then?

Tuor in Gondolin 06-17-2010 12:39 PM

"M"s?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-17-2010 03:00 PM

Sorry, Inzil, I think I was typing when you posted and didn't see it. Lots of E's, only a few of the others....

Erendis 06-17-2010 03:19 PM

Some A's would be useful.:Merisu:

TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-17-2010 03:42 PM

How about a T?

Tuor in Gondolin 06-17-2010 04:02 PM

"v"s, please.

Inziladun 06-17-2010 04:51 PM

Gandalf in the Last Debate, in what is probably my favourite passage from LOTR.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-17-2010 06:39 PM

Ah, you have it, Inzil! By any chance, was it 'wherein' that gave it away? :D

Thanks, Ibrin. Actually it was the word "clean", aided by the fact that I was just thinking about that part in the book a couple of days ago. :)

Tuor in Gondolin 06-19-2010 01:48 PM

How about "G"s?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-19-2010 03:01 PM

L, please.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-19-2010 06:35 PM

Hmm, I think I used this very phrase in this thread not too long ago....

"Would that the trees might speak on behalf of all things that have roots, and punish those that wrong them!"

Yavanna to Manwė, in 'Of Aulė and Yavanna.'

Inziladun 06-19-2010 06:41 PM

You did? Could be why I thought of it so quickly. :rolleyes:

Anyway, you've got it.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-19-2010 07:13 PM

Thanks. :)

Oooh, not many of those....

Inziladun 06-20-2010 01:54 PM

T's?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-20-2010 02:08 PM

Good choice, but perhaps not as enlightening as one might wish...:D

The spacing was driving me nuts with words wanting to wrap from one line to the next, so I think I'll try doing it this way. It's not a poem.

Tuor in Gondolin 06-20-2010 03:21 PM

"H"s, please.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-20-2010 04:16 PM

A logical choice. :)
