I am! It's not helping! As LePetitChoux said on that same thread - this is what frustration feels like! I don't suppose it's Bethberry, for her Personal Title....? Ah well, worth a try...

I'm nowhere near, am I? I would agree with Perky, that cryptic clues belong, indeed, in Cryptic Clues. However, I am intrigued - and also now really rather frustrated!

I thought it might have been something biblical, I don't know – leave me alone!

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

You seem to be making an alliteration with "n's" so my only guess is... Nightknight? Probably way off. I'm not good at these deeper meanings/headache thinking riddles.

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'!

Southern cross = SX which, when said, sounds like Essex. Congratulation pio. The thread is yours.

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?

Maybe?
yavanna II
(most active of the four deviations of the name among our members) On account of it being translated as 'giver of fruits'

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?
