Lost in Translation - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hmm let's have a quick go - these are all guesses so confirmation of any correct ones would be greatly appreciated!

Amon Rudh does not have the inhabitant of the permission - Squatter of Amon Rudh (sp?)

Allegro of Otorinolaringoiatra (or this one ...) - The Perky Ent

Boy 7. Age - Child of the 7th Age

Only material Estel - The Only Real Estel

Color of the Blaus I gave Evisse - Evisse the Blue

Artilleryman I gave Amanaduial - Amanaduial the Archer

Chain of Numenor - Son of Numenor

Housewife of the thunderclap of Sophia - Sophia the Thundermistress

Density of Morsul - Morsul the Dark

Thymus of Guldur of the maintenance - Keeper of Dol Guldur

I still can't work these out:
Drink of the alcoholic one

Slandering (this is a good one)

Abundant available

Potassio (full marks to anyone who gets this one)

All correct, Kath. Well done - particularly for guessing The Perky Ent.

Now, how about the remaining ones ...?

Btw, it occured to me on composing those that, if Sophia the Thunder Mistress were to marry Son of Numenor, they could call their son Thunderclap Numenor - and SoN could proudly declare that there was Something in the Heir.

Edit: Correct too, Shelob.

And that, if I am not mistaken, is The Perky Ent's translated name using the Japanese/Chinese/Korean function. Kind of fitting for an Ent, don't you think?

I can't for the life of me figure out whot he remaining onew belong to Saucy, great idea though.

I have a little Challenge myself. The following paragraph is the product of Shelob's translator, including the Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages.

EsIST is evaluated with this value! Until daresay he. With
the.great.number.of work that are sistemazione of the form and she are
evaluated. Stampini of E, that one that component evaluates with the
duration that is. It gives probably this one later one? It sketches
then the judgment of the inoperative women, attributed who herzlichst
polished exactly with much hour had only had the necessity for, of you
you would have that to being. All the care is not he tin-plates the
edge approximately one extremely imprudent one.
Can you guess what small scentences this is originally?

Ps. If you need a hint, just post or PM me.

The Man of the Bathtub - perhaps a new thread should be created in Quizes or Quotes (or, more likely, dug up) for all your brainteasing needs?

If you want I'll start one. We can call it "The conversion competes he with going"

Alcarillo is an elf.

You could use any name, but I just used my own. With Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, I got

Quote:

Alcarillo is a dwarf.

I wonder what some elves might think of that!
