Aha , it was but it is very hard to translate the "unique" terms used in the book I have (translated in my native language) . But that was the same one .

What's your native language?

Ophelia · 06-09-2004, 01:08 PM

You are correct ! Go ahead with the next question .
My native language is the very specific and complicated language of latvians . No offence is taken if you know nought of the existance of such a land .

Why could Bard understand the thrush?

Orcrist · 06-09-2004, 03:32 PM

He was descended from a line of men from Dale who could understand the thrush.

NightKnight · 06-09-2004, 03:45 PM

And which line was that?

Orcrist · 06-09-2004, 09:52 PM

The exact quote is "Marvelling, he found he could understand its tongue, for he was of the race of Dale." Good enough?
