Tuor, you've got it! The speaker is Feanor, defending the correct pronunciation of ţ in Quenya (and deriding that adopted by his stepmother Indis and her children); from The Shibboleth of Feanor, HoME XII. Probably rather esoteric...
Anyway, it's your turn.

Thanks. You must be one of those real M-E
specialists. I have some of CT's specialist volumes on M-E but haven't really read/studied them. I'm out for a while but will try to post sometime today.

Aha, that's the solution of this riddle! I was sure that I had never read this quote before.
![]() @Pitchwife: in this thread we use quotes from LotR, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. For the HoME, there is a separate "Palantir of Fortune"-thread here. As you see, nobody posted there since almost 2 years, but you are welcome to revive it! ![]() For Tolkien's "Minor Works" there is also a separate Palantir of Fortune thread.

I had concluded it was one of Finwë's descendants speaking, but like Guinevere I was flummoxed as to the source.

Apologies to everybody - I wasn't aware that there are different Palantírs for different sources, though I guess I could have found out if I had tried. And I wasn't trying to show off (welll... maybe a little bit

Interesting. And on reconsideration, since I didn't get
the speaker, why not someone else take the next quote? Whoever's ready first.

You were the closest to having it, Tuor, so I've no problem with you going ahead.

I have the words worked out, and it's maddeningly familiar, but I can't place the speaker...
EDIT- Finally got it. Quote:

That's it. The quote was selective to
make it suggestive of, say, an orc. Your turn.
