long time lurker, first time poster. As I was re reading my red book of westmarch, I came across something I found interesting, and could find no answer here on the Downs.
When the horn call of Buckland is sounded, it is "fear, fire, foes, awake, awake"
Is this literal? is it a magic horn that speaks? a prerecorded message, if you will? Or is it to be interpreted as a horn sound that all hobbits know, and are trained to recognize as MEANING fear fire foes? (remember, the horn had not sounded in living memory, durring the invasion in the fell winter)
