No, that would be clever. This is stupid, remember?

1. Miruvor for the heating alcohol as it warms you up, and the unpleasant character for the cryptic bits? (The problem being that 'git' does not appear anywhere in 'miruvor,' confused or otherwise).

2. Uinen for 5 - but I know it's wrong. It's part of Bruinen, which has a current (perhaps), but you said it wasn't an anagram ... but I think she and Osse were close to Ulmo and hence to currents.

I think it's 'current' as in 'Now,' but I can't think of any 'Now' sounds except the Naugrim, who didn't have many women ....

'Indis' - central - 'in' - 'dis' (colloquial pronunciation of 'this') ...?

I was always very willing to give clues. People simply weren't replying to the thread; I thought you'd all grown tired of it or something.

Told you it was stupid!

1. Heating alcohol confuses unpleasant character.
ALATARIEL: Wronged king wanders among Central Asian mountains to discover her.
LUTHIEN: Deception and pursuit mingle for enchantress.
ARIEN: Radiant maiden is found where a backward age meets contemporaneity.
INDIS: She is central to the current thing, we hear.
TAR-MIRIEL: Muddled swamp track leads to another wronged ruler.
7. After a slight rearrangement she becomes fighting fit.

Oh dear! That was in no way meant as a crack at you, but I see how it could be taken that way! I am sorry.

[Pervinca Took]

I'm sorry too, for not putting a wink in.

I think at times people were simply too busy to guess clues.

EDIT: Indis was actually RIGHT?

Maeglin is an anagram of 'lame gin.' But 'lame' isn't really 'confused.' I wonder if we need 'mull,' though - perhaps it can be any alcohol that warms you up ... rum - but I tried rum first and Rumil isn't unpleasant, as far as I know.

[Nerwen]

It's "the act of heating alcohol", not "a heating alcohol".

Nah, Pervinca did all the work.

I think it's just at some point you stop getting new ideas at all, and things slow down. And if that coincides with a general quiet then they die down.
