No! No! What am I saying?...

Was that Merry?

It WAS Merry, and all your words are correct except: "Mordor"

Great start!

"were" is correct. Your other new words are not.

Anybody want to put together what is solved to this point?

No, no, what am I saying? I have been dreaming.

There. I added a little nugget just for you, Val. And another guess.

All solves are correct in that one - though you dropped a couple exclamation marks!!

Only two words left to complete!

No - not "Noldor"

and...

OOPS! I accidentally said "yes" to a word that was not correct. Small word and I just skimmed over it, I guess. So I'll just give it.

Second word should be "in" - not 'is"

"What in the name of/_o_d_r/?Of course, I remember!
The men of Carn Dum came on us at night,
and we were/_o_s_e_/./Ai! The spear in my heart!
No, no, what am I saying? I have been dreaming.
Where did you get to, Frodo?"

Nobody knows or nobody wants to solve? Need a hint?

we were boosted?
I don't know whether that even makes sense in that context ...

Not "boosted"

It IS a less-commonly used form of a word. So here's my hint.

Both remaining words start with the same letter - the letter "w"

The context of that last word suggests a name, but I can't think of any names (save the ones we've already mentioned) that fit. I mean, you have "yonder", "bolder" and "colder" that fit also, but those aren't names.

So my assumption right now is that it's a slightly obscure Hobbit name, whom Merry is referencing, and I don't recall it because it's been so long since I've read the books.

I'm such a bad Tolkienite.
