Thank you, Iarwain.

I must confess that I am quite used to simple riddles. So whenever I've posted one in this thread or the like it's been guessed the same day and then someone like Sophia or the Saucepan Man gives one of those cryptic riddles where you have to find a pattern amongst the syllables and then, using the first letter from the syllables corresponding to the pattern, form a hint to find what the key words are. Once you have found the hint, you have to find the key words in the riddle which must be translated to Latin and then the antonym of the Latin translation must be further translated into Hungarian. After you have traslated the key words to Hungarian, all you have to do is to take the third letter from each of those words. Once you've done that, you have all the letters, although mixed up, to form the answer that is alluded to from the rest of the riddle.

You do not have to worry about such things from me as I do not speak Hungarian. So, I shall leave those fluent in Hungarian to form and ponder over the cryptic riddles whilst I stick to my simple ones. (For those of you who make those cryptic riddles, I do sincerely hope you do not take offense to my teasing; for no harm was meant by it. And I hold you in the highest regard.)

Now then. Onto my riddle (all that other nonsense was to stall so I could think of one). Ha ha ha, oh dear me. I just thought of one.

My beginning was formed in darkness.
My end in telecommunications.
My whole was faster than thou.
And, no, I am not a cow.

There. I got my jollies from it. And, yes, it truly is Tolkien related.
