EOMUND: He might spend an age mingling with lovers of tiger feet! Well, a little.
6. Turn this one around and you’d think he’d be wearing a toga!
SADOR: Winding roads will lead to him.

2 is indeed ELENDUR.

BUT.

It's LEND for 'advance,' then the word RUE 'runs back' and completely 'swallows' (surrounds) the 'lend.'

ELENDUR: Ciryon is dead and Aratan is dying. [You must escape with the Ring, and take it to Rivendell.]

ISILDUR: King's son! [In great sorrow he obeys him, and leaves Elendur, who showed promise of becoming such a great king, to die too.]


I believe Elendur was very like Elendil.
I see, that's more elegant than the way I had it- I was working back from the quote.

Not a 'tin bras' sort of naughty.

But in a 'use of slang' sense.
And this slang refers to a common factor? I wonder what that could be...
