Dear Rimbaud,

Apparently you're not aware of the fact that the new word has to start with the last letter of the former one, in this case being "s" (Ettenmoors .
And as there is no "s" in the new word you posted, I think you better make up a new one...

Pipe Genuine irony for once then

The irony being that I started this thread and set that rule (admittedly some time ago). Had to think of one on the fly in the office and just clean forgot, I'm afraid. After all those times tsk-ing at others. *shakes head* Still, how about this.

Just a little reminder: the new word has to start with the last letter of the previous word.

Echoing Mountain?

Maybe I'm wrong, because it contains an extra "o", and has only one "t", but what the Angband.

Question Sorry for the delay . . .

. . . for on the way to this thread, I saw the queerest flower I've ever seen. As I stooped down to smell it, it cried "No!" So I asked (in very crude Eldarin):

Manen, loth? (Why, flower?)

Post-mortem: This is assuming N is the last letter of the previous puzzle . . .
