I am! It's not helping! As LePetitChoux said on that same thread - this is what frustration feels like!

Positive?! I have never heard that before...
Maybe The Perky Ent? Positive (?) -> Good natured -> Perky -> The Perky Ent?

I have no idea where this guess even comes from, but the half-ignored part of my brain keeps yelling "narfforc". I can't even remember what line of thought brought me there.

I have 2 Downers in mind . . .
The simple: Esty ----- S-t - (S-outhern + cross = t) OR The more complicated: Essex ----- ‘es’ (‘to be a’ in Spanish) + ‘s’ (Southern) + ‘ex’ = x (cross) ---- I'm ready - crush me with a resounding 'NO'! ![]()

This is not cryptic - very straight forward!
NO - not Roggie or Eomer . . . Think location and linked sigs . . .

Well done!
Her location: 'back on this side of the door' Her sig link: to her Xanaga site where she's know as 'Rakein' Your turn . . .

I presume the name is derived from a Sindarin word for a fruit. Unfortunately, I am far too busy [read lazy] to research this at the moment.

Elwe Singollo? Singollo means "of the Sindar" I think. And Elwe could be a Filipino word for "mango," couldn't it? Maybe? Please?

Unless to trade of the melon idea it is Helen /Mark12-30. Who has a RPG Character Mellonin... melon is the fruit (of course ) and isn't "in" Sindarin for of?
