Because of the close relationship they had with the dwarvish craftsmen in Moria.

&quot;dun&quot; certainly means &quot;buff&quot;, but is also an Old-English word for &quot;hill(s)&quot;. As I don“t know which one Prof Tolkien meant, I“ll give it to you. Didn“t know that it means buff, I had to look it up.

Before the ostentatious dissipations of Atanatar Alcarin, Gondor thrived under his father Ciryaher Hyarmendacil's long reign. The last of the Ship-Kings, Ciryaher, greatly enlarged the fleets and utterly vanquished the Haradrim who offered to Gondor no further threat for centuries thereafter.

Between Lčofa and Folca, in the barrowfield of Edoras. Since he was a King of Rohan, he was laid to rest there.

Yes! He'd been killed by orcs while riding from Dunharrow despite Brytta's belief that all the orcs in the White Mountains had already been vanquished. Ask us!

What, according to Earnur, was the reason why he had to abort the duel with the Witch-King of Angmar, and what did the Witch-King claim as the reason why Earnur left?

The Red Book reported, so Earnur probably said, that his horse was spooked by the Witch-King. Angmar taunted Earnur that it was not the horse that was spooked.

Hey, you got the 1111th post in here!

With what words did Frodo say farewell to Goldberry?


I won“t be around until next Friday, so if someone gets it right, could the others please check and tell the one who answered correctly to proceed?

What similarities did the language of the Woses have with Adunaic?

I think that there should be no meaningful similarities between them. Westron was derived from Adunaic, right? And even Northmen like Beornings and Rohirrim descended from the Edain, right? But I don't think that Pukel-men did and I think that their language was completely unrelated. So is this a trick question or did I miss something big?

It was a tricky question but not really a trick. You are correct - the language of the Woses developed in the wilds of Middle-Earth with absolutely no connection to Adunaic and with no kind of Numenorean influence.

Your turn.

Many of the groups of men who attacked the Dunedain during their long history were called &quot;Easterlings.&quot; What is nonsensical about this calling them that?

I'm glad to see that my &quot;evolution&quot; hasn't caused you treat me with any misplaced new deference. <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
