Oops! Ah, that "d" was deliberately left off as a test.
yeah, that's what happened. (I think they bought that
explanation).

And "b" is a good guess.

Yep. That word is a bit tricksey. For an esoteric hint
how about the novel "Native Son," a rather
depressing read I had to peruse in college.

After searching through my books...I found it!

Lo! I dreamed on a night that Maeglin builded a furnace, and coming at us unawares flung therein Earendel our babe, and would after thrust in thee and me; but that for sorrow at the death of our fair child I would not resist.


Idril speaking to Tuor in the chapter titled "The Fall of Gondolin" in Lost Tales II.

Ha! I rather thought it must be "builded" - but it just sounded so grammatically wrong... (I don't have the Lost Tales, obviously)

Thumbs up

Correct. It's luthien-elvenprincess's turn.

Btw, I believe Tolkien uses "builded" in LOTR
in the stones reminiscing, reported by Leggy,
on the elves having left Hollin.
