And indeed that's what I meant.

Good! Take the thread, Mnemo.

As for the dirt, good point, I didn't think of that. But anyway, it could truly be argued, but Sam had a really hard time parting with his pans, and certainly it had been his most prized possession for all the journey before he got Galadriel's gift, and for all his former life, it seems.

And depending on how you define "possession"... well, Sam certainly wasn't going to pitch his master into the crevasse...

Although that's a really funny mental picture.

It'll take a bit but I'll figure out something.

Who is really good with accents?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 09-01-2009, 02:46 AM

Okay, I am really wondering about this one. Let me try a blind shot: Haldir?

You mean accents as in different manners of pronunciation, right?

EDIT: Maybe someone like Pengolodh would know a lot about accents.

Mnemosyne · 09-01-2009, 09:56 AM

No to either, although I can bet that Pengolodh would be good at such. This one's based off an explicit canonical statement.

Well... you say it is a canonical statement... the only thing that could fit this and that came to mind is Beregond's statement to the hobbits:

Quote:

Hobbit?’ said Beregond.
‘That is what we call ourselves,’ said Pippin.
‘I am glad to learn it,’ said Beregond, ‘for now I may say that strange accents do not mar fair speech, and hobbits are a fair-spoken folk.

The fact that Beregond could say that strange accents do not mar fair speech means that he had some insight into accents. Anyway, besides him I can't think of anyone else, except maybe some Elvish loremaster.
