This is so funny, because I just flipped to a page in my copy of the Sil and skimmed until I found a bit of dialog. Ulmo is not involved, I'll say that much. Also, cámara is a more archaic form of casa, if that helps.

Haha, no problem Ilya. I was wondering why would you cut the sentence like that. But at least it's proven Tolkien uses the same phrasings all over again... Btw are you sure the quote is from Sil and not UT? Because that makes me wonder...

"But if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and Men."

That's it exact. Thread's yours, Nerwen.

Since it's been over a month I hope nobody minds if I give one. This is an easy one, in French, and I apologize for any mistakes in translation.

Meurtriers et amis de elfe! Coupez les! Battez les! Mordez les! Grincez les! Emmenez les a* trous sombre avez boucher avec serpents, et ne revoir-y jamais la lumiere*!

* There should be an accent on the a and the first e in lumiere, but my computer deletes them.

"Murderers and elf-friends! Slash them! Beat them! Bite them! Gnash them! Take them away to dark holes full of snakes and never let them see the light again!"

–The Great Goblin.
