"---r-/ --n/ ---/ -o--t----/ too / ---r/ to/ tr--t /to /-not--r/. --t/ -o---/ -o-/ --rt/ -n/ o--/ --n/ -ro-/ --- /---ort?"

U please. And doesn't the last word have one more letter? :rolleyes:

Yep, you're right. :rolleyes:

NO RUT

"---r-/ --n/ ---/ -o--t----/ too / ---r/ to/ tru-t /to /-not--r/. -ut/ -ou--/ -ou/ --rt/ -n/ o--/ --n/ -ro-/ --- /-u--ort?"

Found it!
 

"Every man has something too dear to trust to another. But would you part an old man from his support?"

Aragorn to Háma at the door of Meduseld

This is correct.

Thank you, Folwren!

Here is the next one: (_ is a hyphen)

"--/ ---/ -------/ ----/ ------/ ---/ ---/ ---/, ---_------/ ---/ ! ----/ ---/ -----/ ----/ --/ ---/ ----/ -----/, ---/ ----/ ---/ ---/---/ ---/ ---/ ----/ -----/ --/ -."

"w"s?

E's, please?

Hm, most strange; I am sure I have updated the letters E and R yesterday - but those posts seem to have vanished...:eek: and now I have Galadriel's request for an S in my mail, but not here!

ERS (no W)

"S-/ ---/ --rs--e/ ---r/ -----r/ ---/ --s/ ---/, ---_------/ s--/ ! -ere/ ---/ s----/ ----/ --/ ---/ ---r/ ---es/, ---/ -ere/ ---/ ---/---/ --e/ --e/ s--e/ -e---/ -s/ -."

(_ is a hyphen)

Yes. I saw them, and one by me, posted, but then later vanished.

"i"s, please.

A bunch of posts disappeared yesterday.

H's, please!

SHIRE (no W)

"S-/ ---/ --rs--e/ ---r/ ---her/ ---/ his/ -i-/, i--_----e-/ s--/ ! Here/ ---/ sh---/ --i-/ --/ ---/ ---r/ h--es/, ---/ here/ ---/ ---/-e-/ -ie/ -he/ s--e/ -e--h/ -s/ I."

(_ is a hyphen)

Hm. How about some L's?

RELISH (no W)

"S-/ ---/ --rs--e/ ---r/ ---her/ ---/ his/ -i-/, ill_----e-/ s--/ ! Here/ ---/ sh-ll/ --il/ --/ -ll/ ---r/ h--es/, ---/ here/ ---/ ---/-e-/ -ie/ -he/ s--e/ -e--h/ -s/ I."

(_ is a hyphen)

I suspect you have already guessed it, Galadriel55 ;) and if not, you will find it now.

No, I haven't guessed it yet. Maybe the A's will do it.

A RELISH (no W)

"S-/ ---/ --rsa-e/ ---r/ -a-her/ a--/ his/ -i-/, ill_----e-/ s--/ ! Here/ shall/ ---/-ail/ --/ all/ ---r/ h--es/, a--/ here/ -a-/ ---/-e-/ -ie/ -he/ sa-e/ -ea-h/ as/ I."

(_ is a hyphen)

It finally clicked!
 

"So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I."

Eol to Maeglin before his death.

Right! :)(except you forgot to type the word "fail")

I'm glad you solved it, I won't be here for some days (going to the Tolkien Seminar in Potsdam (Germany)

Hm. Where did "fail" go? :confused: I meant to type it...

Have a good time in Potsdam!

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

"L"s, please.

No L's. Sorry.

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

Ah...E's, then.

E (no L's)

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

M's?

ME (no L's)


"--e-- / -- / m- / --- / ---e / -----e- / --e / M-------- / , --- / --e- / --e / ----e---- / --- / --- / ---- /."

"a"s, please.

I realised that I somehow managed to miss a whole word (why do these things happen every time I have a quote?). :o :eek: All fixed now.


MEA (no L's)


"---e-- / -- / m- / --- / --- / -a-e / -----e- / --e / M----a--- / , a-- / --e- / a-e / -a--e---- / --- / -a- / a-a- /."

S's, please.

"w"s?

WE SAM (no L's)

"---e-s / -- / m- / -w- / --- / -a-e / ---sse- / --e / M----a--s / , a-- / --e- / a-e / wa--e---- / --- / -a- / a-a- /."

H's, how 'bout?

"t"s, please.

THEM SAW (no L's)

"-the-s / -- / m- / -w- / --- / ha-e / ---sse- / the / M---ta--s / , a-- / the- / a-e / wa--e---- / --t / -a- / awa- /."

"Y"s, please.

N's, please.

NY SAW THEM (no L's)

"-the-s / -- / my / -wn / --n / ha-e / ---sse- / the / M--nta--s / , a-- / they / a-e / wan-e---- / n-t / -a- / away /."

No one's taken it? I didn't want to fill it out because, again, I don't know where it's from or who said it.

"Others of my own kin have passed the Mountains, and they are wandering not far away."

Is that it?

Almost. "Passed" is not correct. It doesn't have an "a", and it has an extra letter.

CLUE: It is from The Sil.

If no one gets it in the next couple of days, I'm giving it to Foley, since she has most of the quote.

lol. How clumsy of me.

"Others of my kin have crossed the mountains, and they are wandering not far away."

Better?

Perfect! :D
