No vowels yet?

OK,some E's?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-20-2010, 11:26 PM

Some As, perhaps?

Blind Guardian · 06-21-2010, 12:05 AM

O

In this is it possible to get hung? Like in hang man?

Dead don't die twice!

No, there is just none of the letter you suggest.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-21-2010, 04:56 AM

Wow, it was looking like every vowel was about to be called! But these may be useful....

WHEATO

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-21-2010, 08:41 AM

"How about "u"s?

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-21-2010, 10:21 AM

Going for all the vowels, eh?

. This one won't get you too far, I'm afraid...

HOW U EAT

“I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the seas
and the Mountains of Aman. It will be long ere I am seen among
the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second
time in death or in life, for the fates of our kindreds are apart.”
- Finrod's last words to Beren in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, from the Silmarillion.

Nice quote, Ibrin, and a hard nut to crack.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-21-2010, 12:59 PM

Thanks, and you're quite right. The floor... er... screen is yours!

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-21-2010, 02:51 PM

Someone always guesses the quote faster than my small mind can.

Pitchwife · 06-22-2010, 02:55 PM

Let's start with my usual...
E's please!

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-22-2010, 04:24 PM

Quick, some "R"s! (To go with "E"S).

Inziladun · 06-22-2010, 04:49 PM

One of the wisest quotes in the entire legendarium:

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

Thorin Oakshield to Bilbo,The Hobbit

Pitchwife · 06-23-2010, 02:43 PM

Indeed. A dying Dwarf's wisdom for all Ages. Well guessed!

So,let me see...Ah,there is one:

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-25-2010, 02:17 AM

Any 'A's?

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-25-2010, 08:11 AM

How about "y"s?

Inziladun · 06-25-2010, 08:20 AM

H?

Erendis · 06-25-2010, 01:00 PM

ΗΥΑ

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-25-2010, 04:08 PM

"t"s?

Lindale,choose another one, H's are already used!

Seems quite easy now...

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-27-2010, 03:44 PM

"Go now, lord, while time is! For in you lives the last hope of the Eldar, and while Gondolin stands, Morgoth shall still know fear in his heart."

Húrin to Turgon, after Fingon falls at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears

No, not easy at all -- but a good choice.

Erendis · 06-28-2010, 12:18 AM

Most words were guessable to that point

Well guessed Ibrin!The floor is yours.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-28-2010, 08:39 AM

Thank you. The words may have been guessable, but putting them together into the correct phrase was a bit dicey.

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

Inziladun · 06-28-2010, 01:43 PM

What about O, to start?

Pitchwife · 06-28-2010, 02:59 PM

And the rregularrr Rrrrs, prease... er, please.

Tuor in Gondolin · 06-28-2010, 03:30 PM

"w"s?

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-28-2010, 04:02 PM

Some good choices....

ORW

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-28-2010, 09:40 PM

We have a few of those....

WORM
