Correct, and that is sometimes how I find the quotes too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-20-2003, 07:02 PM

The "ere" gave it away, as there aren't many words that begin with it.

Quote:

"--/--/---/----/--/---/----,/---/---/------/--/----,/-/----/-----/--/---/---."

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-20-2003, 07:11 PM

OK, let's start with an 'E' please.

Beren87 · 06-20-2003, 07:15 PM

Always a good choice, but it won't add too much here.

Quote:

"--/--/--e/----/--/---/----,/---/---/------/--/----,/-/-e--/-----/--/---/---."

gilraën · 06-21-2003, 01:29 AM

May I have a U please?

Lyra Greenleaf · 06-21-2003, 05:40 AM

How about an A?

Orofaniel · 06-21-2003, 10:25 AM

Could we have any H's please?? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-21-2003, 01:36 PM

Wow, lots of response.

Orofaniel · 06-21-2003, 03:19 PM

Could I have any C's please?

Lyra Greenleaf · 06-21-2003, 05:39 PM

Are there any "T"s?

Beren87 · 06-22-2003, 12:18 AM

Quote:

"-t/--/the/----/--/-u-/-a--,/a--/th-/-ha---/--/----,/a/-e--/---e-/--/-h-/a--."

Not much help I'm afraid. Not a "C" to be found.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 06-22-2003, 12:55 AM

B please

Beren87 · 06-22-2003, 01:03 AM

Ah, welcome Gwaihir!

Quote:

"-t/--/the/----/--/-u-/-a--,/a--/th-/-ha---/--/----,/a/-e--/---e-/--/-h-/a--."

Not a single B I'm afraid.
