The actual Sindarin word is 'eket', which is the type of sword Isildur had, and which I believe he kept hold of (despite losing other items, eg a certain ring). 'Eket' is 'A cat', with the As replaced by Es - 'Ah, no, 'e'... I did say I spelt it out for you. (You might quibble over c and k being the same letter, but this is Elvish; they actually are!)

Which gives us not only the final clue, but the password as well:

Quote:
1. ROCK - A large bird in Tumladen.
2. ARAW - He left them! What kind of deal is that?
3. MOLE - The blackness around Maeglin (but not on his face).
4. EKET - Ah, no, 'e's a cat swung by a king.

Password hint: From one bay to the other, a flying orc's sparkling song.

Password: Rámë (Quenya, 'Wing') , ÓROK (Root, 'Goblin', Etym.), Cálë (Quenya, 'Light'), KWET- (Root, 'Speech', Etym.)

Theme: [None].
Ta-da! A full square password for your entertainment. (All right, it doesn't have diagonals - unless 'Rrlt' and 'Eoak' are Orkish names or something - but still!) Generated by my spreadsheet, which is very good at stuffing Elvish roots into place, but much less good at finding words I can actually clue for.

And with that, over to you, Pervinca!

PS: ... was that a Bored of the Rings reference you snuck in there?
