Sam´s "magic" rope?

[lathspell]

The ropes might, i think, be called 'magical' for us mortal men. For the elves it's just daily business though. They don't even know what magic is, because they use it all the time. Remember Galadriel saying, when they're at her mirror:

'For this is what your folk would call magic, I believe; though I do not clearly understand what they mean; and they seem to use the same word of the deceits of the Enemy. But this, is you will, is the magic of Galadriel.'

The elves roughly know what is meant by non-magic people if they say 'magic'. Maybe it has something to do with them understanding magic and other folk not understanding it and thinking of it as weird and outlandish.
