There's just that one word I'm not sure about...

"and they say I have Eressëan blood, or that I am half-Noldo. And that is not said with love in these days. It is but a step from being called half a Gnome to being called God-ear--- ; and that is dangerous."

and the context is also mystifying! (bin ja gespannt auf des Rätsels Lösung

)

F perhaps ?

I forgot two letters in the mysterious word.

Well, that cleared it!

"and they say I have Eressëan blood, or that I am half-Noldo. And that is not said with love in these days. It is but a step from being called half a Gnome to being called Godfearing ; and that is dangerous."

Could it be someone in Númenor in the time of Sauron's influence ?

Macalaure · 02-09-2007, 02:36 PM

That is right, of course.

It's Herendil to Elendil about being mocked by other children.

In which volume did you find these interesting details ?

If you don't mind, I'll use a quote from volume 9 , since I have only a few quotes left now. (I really must order some HoME books after all!)
