Marring of shoe revealed a fearless man.

Well Marrid means to disfigure so i take that as changing shoe into a synonym which then becomes loafer which is a synonym for strider

Strider?

Turambar · 03-30-2006, 08:38 AM

Not Strider, but you're sort of on the right track. A more obscure synonym is needed.

Morsul the Dark · 03-30-2006, 08:43 AM

more obscuer would be the synamatic phrase

"marring of shoe"
to
"give the shoes off his feet"(granted not used often but as i recall its used for those with gambling problems)

coincidentley gamling is a fearless commander in the battle of the hornberg

Ah, now you're on the wrong track.

Morsul the Dark · 04-04-2006, 08:12 AM

or disfifiguring of shoe(which could work in two ways) shoe becomes horse and if you disfure a shoe it could be reffering to the shape of a horseshoe which leads to a horse and a horse that is also a fearless man is of course Brgo

Brego

It's not that complicated. There's a word that means a certain type of large shoe - scramble that and you have a fearless man who aided Aragorn in the WotR.
