And still all correct

***Valandil*** · 01-10-2017, 06:58 PM

Thank you!

"...leaf from the southfarthing in Isengard. The more I
consider it, the more curious I find it. I have never
been in Isengard, But I have journeyed in this land,
and I know well the /_m_t_/c_u_t_i_s/ that lie between
Rohan and the Shire. /_e_t_e_/g_o_s/_o_/f_l_/ have passed
that way for many a long year, not openly. Saruman had
secret dealings with someone in the Shire, I guess."

Is it Aragorn who says this?

***Varnafindë*** · 01-13-2017, 01:40 PM

Correct additions - and Aragorn is indeed the one who says it.

***Valandil*** · 01-14-2017, 02:36 AM

I'm a bit baffled. Might come up with a guess for two of the remaining six words, but not the other four.

Varna - are all the letters and spaces in the unsolved words correct?

Typos happen to me sometimes, which is a pain. But even when I think somebody else made one, it's more likely that I just couldn't get the word!

***Varnafindë*** · 01-14-2017, 10:02 AM

*doublechecks the spelling*
*triplechecks the spelling*

Yes, all correct for me as well

If you decide you need a hint, I could tell you how many vowels and consonants per word. But only if you want them.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-14-2017, 10:03 AM

Eärniel - both words are correct

***Earniel*** · 01-14-2017, 10:23 AM

I often have the urge to ask for a spell-check when I'm stumped by a word, and nearly always it turns out to be some synonym I did not consider.

And I always go 'duh' afterwards because it will seem obvious then. Like with the rest of this phrase which now seems so obvious I wonder why it took me so long to see it.
'
...Neither goods nor folk..."

Last word, though, still eludes me for now at least. (This is not on purpose! Honest)

***Varnafindë*** · 01-14-2017, 10:32 AM

The obvious phrase is obviously correct

Butterbeer · 01-14-2017, 11:59 AM

I got 'Neither goods nor'..but couldn't get 'folk'... lol definitley a head-slap moment when you see it!

but "_m_t_" has me stumped...

***Earniel*** · 01-14-2017, 01:44 PM

*epiphany*

Oh, duh.

...know well the empty countries that lie between...

I'm on fire today.

Of course, if it's wrong I'm going to be so, so very crushed...

***Varnafindë*** · 01-14-2017, 06:17 PM

No need to be crushed, Eärniel

Your turn

***Valandil*** · 01-14-2017, 09:46 PM

Good one! My mind kept wanting to go to "remote" on what ended up as "empty" - but obviously it was missing the "r".

***Earniel*** · 01-24-2017, 08:37 AM

Yeah, I got stuck on 'remote' exactly the same way until inspiration struck.

"G_o_/a_d/_l_/h_v_/n_t/_h_n_e_/s_n_e/_e_t_r_e_r/;/_o_/a_e/_h_y/_n_/t_i_g/ _m_n_/E_v_s/_n_/D_a_v_s/_n_/a_o_h_r/_m_n_/M_n/./_t/_s/_/m_n'_s/_a_t/_o _i_c_r_/t_e_/,/a_/m_c_/i_/t_e/_o_d_n/_o_d/_s/_n/_i_/o_n/_o_s_/."

***Valandil*** · 01-26-2017, 10:15 AM

"Good and evil have not changed since yesteryear; how are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a /m_n'_s/_a_t/_o _i_c_r_/t_e_/, as much in the /_o_d_n/_o_d/_s/_n/_i_/ own /_o_s_/."

***Varnafindë*** · 01-28-2017, 04:17 PM

nor are they

It is a /m_n'_s/_a_t/to discard/them/, as much in the /_o_d_n/_o_d/as/in/his/ own /house/."

***Valandil*** · 01-28-2017, 06:04 PM

"Good and evil have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a /m_n'_s/_a_t/ to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house."

I think you're right about "nor", so I made that change. But I think "discern" is correct, not "discard".

This sounds like an Aragorn quote.

***Earniel*** · 01-30-2017, 12:33 PM

So far, what you have in your last post is correct, Val. Two words left.

Speaker is correct as well.

***Valandil*** · 01-30-2017, 02:25 PM

Pretty sure of "part"

Is the other "man's" - with an accidental extra space? Otherwise, I'll have to think a lot harder.

***Earniel*** · 02-03-2017, 09:07 AM

Ack! You're right, the two missing words are 'man's part'. It appears I didn't delete the 's'. Gah, I checked it twice and missed it twice! You had one job, Eärniel!

*hangs head in shame*

Your turn, then, Val.
