Thanks for the kind words. But you state that I'm human. And as I said before, you call the people you want to insult 'human'. So what you said could be considered mean
It's like saying "Oh what a nice little orc". That is more of an insult than a compliment.

EDIT: Isn't this discussion just a little off-topic?

No, normally I don't use Human as an insult, but I knew that Linaewen - as she is a fair Elf Lady - will be upset if I call her human. that's all.

Yes it is. Let's get back on topic folks.

Morwen had decided to stay in her home and wait for Hurin's return. The lands though had become dangerous there and she wanted Turin to be safe, so she sent him to Doriath. Thingol offered her safety as well, and this is when she told him that she would not leave her home.

Thanks Sister Golden Hair. How do you remember all these things?

That was a pretty integral part of the plot. Next time, read it properly for full satisfaction.

I think Lalaith the Elf uses the word 'human' as an insult. That kills me

Actually, 'Apanóna' would be an insult for a 'human'. It's quite condescending.

On topic: Didn't Morwen send Turin by himself because she was pregnant with Nienor? As well, she considered that if too many were traveling together, that the chances of them being spotted and captured would be greater. Is that not right?

Yes that is right. However, the time at hand for Turin's safety dictated that it be right then.

Just love showing off your new-found knowledge of your birth tongue, doncha?

Yes, (without looking through the book, so I could be wrong), I recall that it was a very desperate time for them. I felt a sense of urgency when I read it at that point.

Actually, I've known bits and pieces for a while. This word, I've known for quite a while. I call my brother tithen cabor all of the time.

I didn't meant only this part (I thought it was that way, but I was not quite sure, and then I'll prefer to ask before I say something wrong), your seem to remember every little detail that Tolkien has ever written.
