More anagrams!!!!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

LePetitChoux · 12-11-2002, 03:48 PM

This one does belong in Quiz room, so here goes:
fingol is looming

Somebody got this, so whoever it is (I can't remember for the life of me!) please continue!

LePetitChoux · 12-15-2002, 11:23 AM

Awww...I thought another anagrams thread would be a good idea...
Doesn't anyone else agree?

Pallando B.C · 12-15-2002, 06:46 PM

Tell me the answer to the one you had and how you got it.

Then people might understand how to play it and then it might catch on

I looked at this topic before, and I thought it was a good idea, but maybe give some instructions to people on how to play!

I know it is re-arranging letters from word(s) to form new word(s), but
fingol is looming has stumpted me!

[ December 15, 2002: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

LePetitChoux · 12-16-2002, 11:57 AM

It was precisely that-rearranging letters in words to form Middle-Earth related word(s).

fingol is looming = Gimli Son of Gloin

The actual anagram doesn't have to have anything to do with it's answer-for example, from the other thread,
Die, Nell! had nothing to do with it's answer, Elendil.
Hope that explains it! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

So, someone can have a go now, as I did one just now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 12-20-2002, 04:50 PM

Sorry, LePetitChoux, i spelt it wrong.

Malo and Fosshl

It's a dumb one, but at least it's there.

That should help you, if it doesn't, just let me know.

LePetitChoux · 12-22-2002, 05:50 AM

Is it from the Silmarillion? Because if it is then there is NO WAY I'm gona get it, as I've still to get through it.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I'm stupid I know...

Pallando B.C · 12-22-2002, 06:34 AM

It is sorry, LePetitChoux, and you're not Stupid! You should read it though, it is very interesting.

Malo and Fosshl= Halls of Mandos

You may have heard of it.

You can give me one now!

LePetitChoux · 12-22-2002, 03:59 PM

I had heard of it... tisk tisk, silly me! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I was kind of confused as you said Fosshl was a name, so I thought that the letters f,o,s,s,h,l make up a name! Oh deary deary me! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I am reading it, just haven't finished it yet...a 1/3 of the way through-ish.
I don't really deserve to give you one, as I didn't get the last one, but I shall take you up on your offer, and present you with this tantalising brainteaser ( [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

LePetitChoux · 12-28-2002, 02:44 PM

OK, from now on, you have to give a clue as to what it is (location, character, etc.), unless it seems too blindingly obvious to you (but then again, the Ghân-buri-ghân one seemed obvious to me...hmm....) Basically, I'm saying I want a clue! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please? Is it a character, a place, a landmark, etc...

Also (I did start the game, I guess I can tweak at it a little)-and this is for purely selfish reasons-can we keep it to LotR and the Hobbit... please? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 12-28-2002, 02:51 PM

Star of the Dunedain! (Is that right...it seems right...)

fright orthann

It is ther name given to an area of land west of the Anduin (or is that too obvious?)

tom bombariffic · 12-30-2002, 08:36 AM

when you say west of the anduin, are you still talking about middle earth, or are you talking about the undying lands in the far west?

LePetitChoux · 12-30-2002, 09:44 AM

In Middle-Earth. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elfstan Fairbairn - difficult! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Let's make the process a little easier - let the next anagram be a word that starts with the last letter of the previous one.

And of course, be limited to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
