Ok Gil......help us out

Gil-Galad · 07-12-2006, 07:07 AM

*sigh* i can't say no to that Epileptic/seizure-induced Kitty of yours...

well again think seven, if i say its a person then that will give a big hint...

Macalaure · 07-12-2006, 07:35 AM

Seven Gates of Gondolin?
Seven Rivers of Ossiriand?

Denethor, maybe?

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 06:55 AM

but why? and no those all wrong... and i don't see how the seven gates and seven rivers are a person...

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-13-2006, 08:52 AM

I know you said they were wrong, but if it was the seven gates of Gondolin then Elemmakil would be a guess.

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 01:25 PM

its funny cause your all missing the obvious seven

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-13-2006, 01:33 PM

then there is the seven Palantíri. . . but I got no idea what the answer would be

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 01:45 PM

Its a person... so there would be no use of guessing non-living things.

Valier · 07-13-2006, 01:49 PM

How bout Oin?

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 01:54 PM

how about sorry nope...

Valier · 07-13-2006, 01:56 PM

How 'bout Ostoher the 7th King of Gondor?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-13-2006, 02:01 PM

I know that there was only 6 High Kings of the Noldor, but if you count Maedhros there would be 7! The other would then be Fëanor

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 02:08 PM

nope, super clsoe though Rune, go back to the fist clue though, 'other'

Macalaure · 07-13-2006, 02:15 PM

Another wild guess: Nerdanel?

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 02:19 PM

not wild at all, bang on! your turn.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-13-2006, 02:19 PM

Finarfin ?

Gil-Galad · 07-13-2006, 02:22 PM

Sorry my dear Rune, macalaure already answered correctly

Macalaure · 07-13-2006, 02:36 PM

Thank you!

Who were the only two Sindar who, most probably, once used Quenya - after Thingol's ban?

I want names and occasion.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-13-2006, 02:50 PM

do they have to be of pure Sindar origin?

Macalaure · 07-13-2006, 02:51 PM

Yes, they do.

Gil-Galad · 07-14-2006, 07:09 AM

question confuses me but i'll go for the obvious, Celeborn and Galadriel?

Macalaure · 07-14-2006, 07:16 AM

No, unfortunately. And since when is Galadriel one of the Sindar?

I'll try to clarify: After he found out about the kinslaying Thingol banned Quenya from his realm and forbade its usage to all Sindar. Yet, even after it, there are two Sindar who, in all probability, dared to speak Quenya at one specific point of time.

Anguirel · 07-14-2006, 09:01 AM

Eol and Maeglin before Turgon?

EDIT: In the unlikely event that I'm right, let someone else ask a question...I'll have disappeared...

Macalaure · 07-14-2006, 01:24 PM

Don't worry, Ang, you are not right.

Maeglin is half a Noldo, and I cannot imagine Eöl ever uttered one word of the kinslayers' tongue.

Mmm, seems like it's more difficult than I thought. If nobody has the right answer tomorrow, I'll give a hint.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-14-2006, 03:41 PM

even better, give it now! The only thing I could come up with yesterday was Eol and Maeglin and they turned out wrong. (What I already guessed they would be, especialy since Maeglin is half Noldor)

Macalaure · 07-15-2006, 02:22 AM

Hint: We know exactly what they said. They both say the same three words.

Macalaure · 07-18-2006, 01:50 AM

Still nobody?

And I thought that hint was too obvious, already.

What I meant by underlining 'exactly' is that we not only know it was said in Quenya, but we actually know the exact Quenya wording.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-18-2006, 06:45 AM

Beleg and Mablung could have said "Auta i lómë" at the Nirnarth Arnoediad. . . (it is quenya right?)

Macalaure · 07-18-2006, 08:15 AM

It is Quenya. The Silm says, that all that heard Fingon's welcome to Turgon answered by it. So, unless Beleg and Mablung have been sitting on their ears, they said it.

Your thread, Rune.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-20-2006, 12:52 PM

Would somebody else care to take over for me as I am going away for a week, from Saturday morning ?

Gil-Galad · 07-20-2006, 01:37 PM

i will be honoured my friend

Gil-Galad · 07-20-2006, 01:42 PM

Name the place that is similar to "door of water"

Macalaure · 07-26-2006, 08:04 AM

I guess it's wrong, but since nobody else wants to try:

Gates of Sirion?

Valier · 07-26-2006, 11:53 AM

or..... Annon-in-Gelydh? or Sirannon?

Gil-Galad · 07-26-2006, 01:19 PM

Valier as it! your turn

Valier · 07-26-2006, 04:12 PM

Really!!!!????? I got one?

Awesome!!!!

It will take me a little bit to come up with one, but I shall return!

Oh and Gil.....which one was it?

Valier · 07-26-2006, 04:31 PM

I'm hoping this is First Age.....

Who shouted "Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië! ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë!" and what and who shouted back?

I know it's a long one, but I haven't been able to go for awhile

Gil-Galad · 07-26-2006, 08:01 PM

Beren perhaps?

oh and it was Sirannon

Dimturiel · 07-27-2006, 01:37 AM

Fingon shouted that and all those that heard him answered back shouting: Auta i lome!" (" The night is passing!")

Valier · 07-27-2006, 10:58 AM

YAAA!!! Your go Dimturiel
