Although the Sirion was always the most prominent, the Gilion seems to be longer (judging from my tattered Silm map <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> )

I wasn't thinking along those lines...

but they are correct. You could also have said it stands on it's own, and from a non-geographical point of view, it housed Mim and his petty-dwarves, and was a hideout for Turing.

Im not sure what you have in mind... But Dearons runes or the &quot;long runes of Doriath&quot; as they are also called where of course used in Doriath... although you might be thinking of the adaption of these used in Moria, by the dwarves. For example on the tomp of Balin?

I was looking for the answer of Telchar, so his is the turn to ask. Gandalf says that the runes of the West Door of Moria were writen with runes from Valinor.

So, to speed things up, I will give you all an easy one. (And at my last post, when I said The Gaffer i was kidding <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> ).

Who said this: &quot;I am Gandalf, Gandalf The White, but Black is mightier still.&quot;
