TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-20-2010 11:26 PM

Some As, perhaps?

Blind Guardian 06-21-2010 12:05 AM

Dead don't die twice!:p
No, there is just none of the letter you suggest.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-21-2010 04:56 AM

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

WHEATO

“- / -o / -ow / to / -- / -o-- / -e-t / -- / the / t--e-e-- / ha--- / -e-o-- / the / -ea- /
a-- / the / -o--ta--- / o- / A-a-. / -t / w--- / -e / -o-- / e-e / - / a- / -ee- / --o-- /

a-a-t.”

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

"How about "u"s?

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 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

“- / -o / -ow / to / -- / -o-- / -e-t / -- / the / t--e-e-- / ha--- / -e-o-- / the / -ea- /
a-- / the / -ou-ta--- / o- / A-a-. / -t / w--- / -e / -o-- / e-e / - / a- / -ee- / --o-- /

“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.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 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

Thanks, Ibrin (and sorry, TGEW)!

Here's a shorter one:

- - / - - - - / - - / - - / - - - - - - / - - - - / - - - / - - - - - / - - - / - - - - / - - - - - / - - - - - - - / - - - - / , / - - / - - - - - / - - / - / - - - - - - - / - - - - - .

Erendis 06-22-2010 03:52 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

A for me.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 06-22-2010 06:43 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!:)

Erendis 06-25-2010 12:36 AM

*Takes the keyboard*Thanks Pitch!

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

"-- --- --r-,-h--- ---- --!--r -- y-- ----- th- ---t h--- -- th- ---ar,a-- -h--- -------- --a--- --r--th -ha-- -t--- ---- --ar -- h-- h-art."

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

Seems quite easy now...

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 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."

Hśrin 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:p

Well guessed Ibrin!The floor is yours.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 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. :D

"---- / ---------- / -- / --- / --- / --- / ----- / -- / ----- / -- / -- / --, / --- /
--- / ------ / ---- / ------- / -- / ----- / -----, / ----- / ---- / --- / ---- / --- /
--------; / --- / -- / --- / ---- / ---- / -------- / ---- / ----- / --- / ----- / ---- /
--- / ------ / ---- / --: / ---- / ---- / --- / ---- / -- / -- / ------."

Inziladun 06-28-2010 01:43 PM

What about O, to start?

Pitchwife 06-28-2010 02:59 PM

Erendis 06-29-2010 01:58 AM

And some E's if you don't mind.

Inziladun 06-29-2010 05:36 AM

Quote:

"They themselves do not see the world of light as we do, but our shapes cast shadows in their minds, which only the noon sun destroys; and in the dark they perceive many signs and forms that are hidden from us: then they are most to be feared."
Aragorn telling the hobbits about Ringwraiths. I've always wondered how he knew all that....
