Folwren · 04-24-2011, 09:32 AM

This is correct.

Galadriel55 · 04-25-2011, 07:50 AM

E's, please?

Guinevere · 04-26-2011, 08:47 AM

Hm, most strange; I am sure I have updated the letters E and R yesterday - but those posts seem to have vanished...

and now I have Galadriel's request for an S in my mail, but not here!

ERS (no W)

Tuor in Gondolin · 04-26-2011, 08:50 AM

Yes. I saw them, and one by me, posted, but then later vanished.

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 08:55 AM

I suspect you have already guessed it, Galadriel55

and if not, you will find it now.

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 10:59 AM

No, I haven't guessed it yet. Maybe the A's will do it.

Eol to Maeglin before his death.

Guinevere · 04-26-2011, 01:52 PM

Right!

(except you forgot to type the word "fail")

I'm glad you solved it, I won't be here for some days (going to the Tolkien Seminar in Potsdam (Germany)

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 02:06 PM

Hm. Where did "fail" go?

I meant to type it...

Have a good time in Potsdam!

All fixed now.

Folwren · 05-10-2011, 09:08 PM

No one's taken it? I didn't want to fill it out because, again, I don't know where it's from or who said it.

"Others of my own kin have passed the Mountains, and they are wandering not far away."

Is that it?

Almost. "Passed" is not correct. It doesn't have an "a", and it has an extra letter.

CLUE: It is from The Sil.

If no one gets it in the next couple of days, I'm giving it to Foley, since she has most of the quote.

Folwren · 05-11-2011, 06:33 PM

lol. How clumsy of me.

"Others of my kin have crossed the mountains, and they are wandering not far away."

Better?

Galadriel55 · 05-11-2011, 09:27 PM

Perfect!
