TELCONTAR: Negative rattle troubled him.
BOROMIR: More capacious? Change note to perturb him!
HARTHAD ULUITHIAD: Deer possessed you twice, we hear! Publicity for the moon? It gets even crazier before he appears!
???N???: Leech scurries around, but gains direction for him.
INCANUS: Fiery ball runs back to meet mixed-up killer for him.
GIMLI: Note measure losing direction, and spin to find him.
LEGOLAS: Measure a pudding, and mix it well for him.

Well, given that I was writing my third 'Council attendees' password in a row, I had to put *something* challenging into it! And it was also the only way I could get a U, because I needed 'Incanus' for the second C.

Not *that* long ago I used the twin-term, BRONWE ATHAN HARTHAD, as one of my passwords, and I thought some of you might remember it and realise Sam was given a 'name' at the same time. Frodo's means 'Endurance Beyond Hope,' so the answers to the clues were things like Amon Sul (for Weathertop), various other sites of woundings, Hunger, Thirst, Ringbearing, but also Aragorn's Singing

(Weathertop camp fire) and Rankin-Bass songs, which I called the trick question.

That was probably my favourite of all my passwords, not least because Frodo is my favourite literary character.

I don't think I could manage to find 16 different kinds of *hope* though, so Sam will have to be content with *his* alias just being the answer to an individual clue.

Now, for the last one. It's not as hard as it seems. It uses an *unusual* synonym for 'leech,' but one that is there in the list if you google for synonyms. It's how I found it, anyway. (Well, at least, I googled the word I needed to use and got 'leech' as an option).
