on IM just now, I had to get up and get another cookie (hehe..) so i said "brb one sec" and then as an afterthought, added "I'm diminishing and going into the west, if u want to know" when i got back, I was trying to think of a clever quote to use, but I couldnt think of anything. Help, anyone?

How about "Wherever I have been I am back"? Gandalf tells that to Merry and Pippin when they ask him where he was.

I said "Open in the name of Mordor" when I was locked out of the house once...and I love "Forth Eorlingas!"

"Open In The Name of Mordor" is great to use when you get stuck outside of anywhere...
Has anyone used, "Aiya Elenion Ancalima!" when using a flashlight? It's great; freaks out other people in the campground when you yell it

All my flashlights have dead batteries, alas, but I know I've used "Aiya Elenion Ancalima!" before for something...can't remember what it was. Maybe just randomly. And yay, this'll be my 100th post!

Does anyone know what Aiya Earendil elenion ancalama means? I don`t, but I say it often.

Lady Snickerdoodle · 06-30-2004, 07:14 PM

I don't exactly know, because I am only halfway through elvish lessons, but the first two words are "Hail Earendil" and "ancalima" is "great light-giver" so it's praising the star.

"Aiya Eärendil elenion ancalima!" means "Hail Eärendil brightest of the stars!"
