Can we have an R?

I'd like some T, please.

A W may close important gaps. Let's see what comes up.

'So! Thou hast already stolen half my son's love. Now thou stealest the hearts of my knights also, so that they rob me wholly of my son at the last! But in this at least thou shalt not defy my will: to rule my own end! Come hither! Come, if you are not all recreant!'

-the last words of Denethor II, 26th and last Ruling Steward of Gondor

That's it!
 

Well done, Eruhen! :) (I was too lazy to use the rest of the quote...)

"R"s, please.



Oops! Didn't see it was solved.

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

E is the most common letter in the English language, so that's a safe opener. Best hope it's not in Sindarin.

E

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

Seeing as I'll never get these, I'll make it easier for everyone else. O please.

How about S?

ESO

"--/ -o-e/ o-/ -s/ ----e-/ -oo-/ ---/ --ee-/ ---/ s---/ --o-e/ -o---e-/ -o--/, --/ -o---/ -e/ -/ -e---e-/ -o---/."

I cannot resist solving that one already now ;)

We have a winner, wights and wightettes. Take it away, Guin.

:) Here we go:

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

G, I don't know what letter to start with.

Sorry, no G's at all!

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

L, please.

GL


"-------/, ------ll/! ---/ ----/ ----/ --/ -----/ ----/ ----/, ---/ ----/ --------/ ------/ ----/ ---/ --/ ---/ ---/."

That's the first time I've struck out completely on guessing. Huh.

GLN


"--n---n/, ------ll/! ---/ ----/ ----/ --/ -----/ ---n/ --n-/, -n-/ ----/ --------/ -----n/ ----/ ---/ --/ ---/ -n-/."

Where is everyone? Jeez. I'm gonna low-ball this one tonight.

E

I'm going to be brave, and say Q.

GLEN, no Q!

Celeborn to Aragorn

Yep, that's the one, Aganzir!:)

Aganzir? You there? It's been a week and a half.

Aaa whoops I didn't have the books with me and then forgot all about it! Will post a new one tomorrow, promise. :)

First of all I'm so sorry for the delay, blame it on the combination of being busy and and mostly checking the Downs on my phone in places where I most definitely don't have my books (such as on the bus at 2 am - points at the post above)

Anyway here we go!

(-) obviously standing for hyphen.

Wow, that's a long one!:) let's start with A

'R"s, please. :)

Pray excuse me - I have no idea what the original quote is. So here's a new one:
