Waistcoats, you mean?

X....X....
Y: Yule Log at Yule!

The Saucepan Man 01-28-2003 09:34 PM

No, Wainscots. I've looked it up now - it means wooden panelling on the lower part of a room wall. I'm sure Bilbo would have had that. But, there would of course be Waistcoats too.

What about X?

X is for Xylem meaning woody tissue, ie the tree roots poking through in the deeper parts of the burrow.

Yes, I've got my dictionary with me. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

And so, Z is for Zucchini, what we Brits call courgettes - yes, more food!

New topic, anyone?

Pallando B.C 01-29-2003 01:07 AM

Ok, New Topic.

This topic will be decicated to Unfinished Tales. Choose something from Unfinished Tales that is unique to UT and not to most other tales, and preferably not something as common as A for Aragorn.

My apoligies for people who do not own a copy of UT yet.

A is for Amon Lanc, the ealier name for Dol Guldur.

Pallando B.C 02-03-2003 04:21 AM

I don't mean to pester you, elven maiden Earwen, but after numerous occasions you still do not seem to understand the current topic.I have explained it too often so please read my previous posts to fully understand.
If you do not have a copy of Unfinished Tales, do not post until a new topic has been started.

P is for Pallando, a blue and good-looking Wizard who is a member of the Istari. Pallando was said to have travelled beyond Rhûn, with his pal Alatar.

lathspell 02-03-2003 09:03 AM

I don't think there's anything for Q, except Quendi or Quenya, but since those two are not unique to the UT, I'll proceed with 'R'.

R is Roquen:
Roquen means 'knight'. It is the formal name for a man that has the title of knight. Ohtar is the title for a man that is a soldier or warrior, but hasn't got that title yet. Ohtar, Isildur's esquire, was named that by Isildur because he did not have the title of 'roquen' yet. Ohtar was not his real name.

From 'Disaster of the Gladden Fields - Note 17'

greetings,
lathspell

P.S.: Pallando B.C., please realise that for people who don't have UT it is quite hard to put in answers that are unique to UT. I think elven maiden Earwen is trying to put in answers that do submit in this category, but is unexperienced in UT.
This counts for Beren87 as well.

Pallando B.C 02-04-2003 04:24 AM

I knew I'd come of looking like the bully.

I understand this, but I would ask her (and everybody who does not own a copy of Unfinished Tales) to patiently wait until there is a topic that they do have experience in. Then Post Away!
