Indeed there are!

"----- / - / ----o-- / --- / ------- / -------_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere 02-19-2012 11:05 AM

how about T?

Galadriel55 02-19-2012 04:47 PM

TO (no T)

"----- / - / ----o-- / --- / ------- / -------_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere 02-20-2012 08:34 AM

What, no tea for me?;) let's try N then

Galadriel55 02-20-2012 09:51 AM

We have coffee? :p

NOT (no T)

"----- / - / ----on- / --- / ------- / ------n_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere 02-22-2012 01:57 PM

Well, it seems I can't do without the obligatory E's...;)

Galadriel55 02-22-2012 04:33 PM

Don't tell me I haven't warned you! :D;):p

NOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / ----on- / --- / ------- / ------n_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

Guinevere 02-23-2012 03:16 AM

Ha! You managed to find a quote entirely without E's? :eek:

A please

Galadriel55 02-23-2012 06:15 AM

No, I started reading a certain Tolkien book to look for one, but then remembered a nice E-free quote that's not too short or obscure. :)

NOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / -a--on- / --a / ------- / -a---an_--o- / ----o-- / --a-"

Guinevere 02-23-2012 10:42 AM

How about Ss ?

Galadriel55 02-23-2012 11:18 PM

SANOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / -a--on- / s-a / --s---- / Sa---an_--o- / ----os- / s-a-"


Now it shouldn't be very difficult. :)

Guinevere 02-24-2012 11:24 AM

Indeed!
 
"Uglúk u bagronk sha pushdug Saruman-glob búbhosh skai"

No wonder I couldn't figure out any other words ! :D

Galadriel55 02-24-2012 02:06 PM

This is, of course, correct!

Haha, yes, orcish slang uses the letters that aren't very common in regular English, and doesn't use those that are. :)

I just wish Foley was around for this one...


Ah well, I'll just have to find another one without E's. Maybe not for next time, but eventually...

Folwren 02-25-2012 03:54 PM

Oh no! I missed the no 'e' sentence?? Dear me! How unfortunate.

Guinevere 02-26-2012 02:47 PM

OK, here is the next one:

"-----/!" (said .....) "-----/ -----/! -/ ----/ -----/ ---/ --/ ---/ ----/. ---/ ----/ -----/ ------/ --/ ---/ ------/ -/ ----/ ---------/ ---/."

Galadriel55 02-26-2012 03:25 PM

Do I have to say which letter I would like to guess? :Merisu::D

Guinevere 02-26-2012 05:23 PM

;)

"-----/!" (said .....) "-----/ -----/! -/ ---e/ ---e-/ ---/ --/ --e/ ----/. ---/ ---e/ -e-e-/ ----e-/ -e/ ---/ ------/ -/ ---e/ -e-----e-/ ---/."

Eruhen 02-26-2012 06:27 PM

R, please!

Galadriel55 02-26-2012 07:23 PM

S, if you will.

Guinevere 02-27-2012 10:49 AM

ERS good choice! :)

"-rr--/!" (said .....) "-----/ -rr--/! -/ ---e/ s--e-/ ---/ --/ --e/ --s-/. ---/ ---e/ -e-er/ ----e-/ -e/ ---/ -----s/ -/ ---e/ re-----e-/ ---/."

Galadriel55 02-27-2012 05:55 PM

"Arrow!" said the bowman. "Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you."

~Bard, just before he shoots Smaug.

Guinevere 02-28-2012 07:02 AM

Well done, Galadriel55! (I knew the R's would give it away...:p)

Tuor in Gondolin 02-28-2012 09:24 AM

"a"s?

(Oops! Posted too early, but I don't see how to delete it).

Thanks!

Guinevere 02-29-2012 02:18 PM

R please

Galadriel55 02-29-2012 03:53 PM

AR

"--- / --- / ---- / ----- / ---r / --a- / ---- /," said [...]. "-- / --- / -r- / -- / --a- / ---- / -r-- / ---- /, ---- / ---- / -a-- / --- /. - / ----- / ---- /, a-- / --- / ---- / -- / a-- /."

Guinevere 02-29-2012 04:04 PM

How about T?

Galadriel55 02-29-2012 04:12 PM

Good choice!

TAR

"--- / --- / --t- / -t--r / ---- / t-a- / ---- /," said [...]. "-- / --- / tr- / t- / --a- / t--- / -r-- / ---- /, t--- / ---- / -a-- / --- /. - / ----t / t--- /, a-- / --- / ---t / -- / a-- /."

(fixed some mistakes - I put an R in the wrong word)

Guinevere 02-29-2012 04:16 PM

I guess there must be some E's here ;)

Galadriel55 02-29-2012 05:35 PM

Well, you know, you don't find E-less sentences of such length lying on a highway! ;)

RATE

"--- / -ee / --t- / -t-er / e-e- / t-a- / ---e /," said [...]. "-- / --- / tr- / t- / -ea- / t-e- / -r-- / e--- /, t-e- / ---- / -a-- / --- /. - / ----t / t-e- /, a-- / --e / ---t / -- / a-- /."

Guinevere 03-01-2012 10:59 AM

Those E's were most useful!

"You see with other eyes than mine," said Beleg. "If you try to wean them from evil, they will fail you. I doubt them and one most of all."

Galadriel55 03-01-2012 04:15 PM

Well done!

And yes,E's are very useful indeed. :D

Guinevere 03-04-2012 04:23 AM

Thank you!:)

"------/, ------/, --------/ ---/ ----/ --/ ------/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ --/ ----/ ------/ -----/?"

Galadriel55 03-04-2012 09:18 AM

Ah, welll, E's please.

Guinevere 03-04-2012 10:46 AM

"------/, ------/, -e-e--e-/ --e/ -e--/ --/ -e-e--/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ ---/ -e--/ --/ ----/ ----e-/ -----/?"

I probably should have put in the E's right from the start! ;)
Btw, there are some names in this quote, but I shall not write the capitals as it would be too obvious! (When this game was started, many years ago, we first used only capitals for this reason. But now it doesn't let you do this anymore.)

Galadriel55 03-04-2012 11:08 AM

S's, how about?

Guinevere 03-04-2012 11:19 AM

ES

"------/, ------/, -e-e--e-/ --e/ -e-s/ --/ se-e--/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ ---/ -e--/ --/ ----/ ----e-/ ----s/?"

Galadriel55 03-04-2012 11:33 AM

A please!

Erendis 03-05-2012 02:52 AM

May I interfere and ask for N's?

Guinevere 03-05-2012 03:17 PM

SANE

"------/, ------/, -e-e--e-/ --e/ -ens/ --/ se-e--/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ n--/ -ea-/ -n/ ----/ ----en/ -a--s/?"
