Faramir has his attractions, too, of course

As for the new quote... well, well... lemme see... it will be Arabic for the time being:

Quote:

fi khidmatiqi, ia maliqu bi qa’awati khashabi vasi’i

fi khidmatiqi standing for 'at your service'

The Hobbit again HI?

HerenIstarion · 02-10-2005, 12:42 AM

yup.

khashabi = wooden

They thanked him, of course, with many bows and sweepings of their hoods and with many an 'at your service, O master of the wide wooden halls!'

Hobbit VII - emphasis mine

Well done Nilp... I have just spent half the afternoon trawling the Hobbit for an "at your service" not followed by a dwarf name and still didn't find it...

And I add my welcome to Heren's - this has been a very select gathering of late so it is great to have a drop of new blood.

Well, then. Mithalwen and Guinevere knows Deutsch, and H-I knows Russkiy. So I'll have to use the language I should have chosen in the first place: Filipino.

Ngunit ang oras ay hindi tumitigil, kahit na ang Araw ay wala.

"Araw" there is not Oromë. It's Filipino for Sun. "Oras" is time.

That should be enough hints to start you with.
