Well, I've never heard of it. Any hints to be had? Geez, I feel really stupid...

A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying.

I have never heard that, I feel really stupid. Oh well, your go.

Hirilaelin, Dragon Sorceress of Doom

It is a quote from Gandalf when he returns as the White Rider. When he is sitting with the three hunters upon the cliff in Fangorn, Aragorn accuses him of speaking in riddles, and this was his reply.

Oh... I really need to read the books again. But, happily, I am! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

(In fact, I had found it out before the update of the additional letters S ,Y and H . I'd written it on a piece of paper and pondered over it all morning... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Jolly good job! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please continue.

Thank you, Annunfuiniel! Here's the new one:

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

Good luck!

Shall we start with 'T'?
