Tumbalemorna = Treebeard?? What's your source?
I'm pretty sure that means 'deep valley black' according to the appendices.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-18-2004, 03:49 AM

Well anyway its wrong.

paavo · 08-18-2004, 04:57 AM

would you still give us the next letter for Perkys answer?

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-18-2004, 06:59 AM

Hum... Ok, but you'll probably get it now.

The next letter is O. So far we have;

Tuo

The Perky Ent · 08-18-2004, 07:01 AM

Is it the father of Earendil?

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-18-2004, 07:05 AM

Indeed it is! Tuor is the answer.
You win a new tombstone for your Barrow, with special features including Rot prevention for your corpse.
Take it away Perky Ent.

The Perky Ent · 08-18-2004, 07:12 AM

Actually...I'm an ent, so what would I do with a barrow? I have made friends with many who dwell in barrows, but I myself am not one. Maybe I'll give it to them....

The first letter is W!

Firefoot · 08-18-2004, 08:09 AM

Is it another name for Easterlings?

paavo · 08-18-2004, 08:37 AM

is he responsible for the demise of the last king of the first bloodline?

Even as an Ent you can appreciate rot prevention

... Wait! If you’re not dead, why are you on the Barrow downs? Intruder!

Anyway, is it the constellation known as the Butterfly in Quenta?

Thorongil · 08-18-2004, 09:51 AM

It's not Wulf, worm, wight, watcher in the water, Walda, wain (Hookbill, if this is wrong, please tell me). Firefoot, I'm gonna have to call you on your answer!

Firefoot · 08-18-2004, 08:20 PM

It's Wolf-folk.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-19-2004, 03:51 AM

My answer was Wilwarin, it is the name of a constellation. The word meant 'Butterfly' in Quenya.

The Perky Ent · 08-19-2004, 07:34 PM

It is not Westron or...hmm....it's not Westlands of Númenor. I probably didn't get the right one, so I'll probably have to reveal on in a giffie

Firefoot · 08-19-2004, 07:37 PM

Morsul the Dark · 08-19-2004, 07:37 PM
