The Tolkien Translation Game!
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
In the houses of healing? Or in FoTR?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Your first guess. Spoken by someone we don't meet in FoTR, but whose loquacity more than makes up for it later.

Is this again related to the diatribe on King’s foil?

Didn’t we just do this section??

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Looking back over the last few pages, the previous quote was from A Conspiracy Unmasked, the one before that was from The Hobbit, and the one before that was from The Silmarillion. I don't know how far back you need to go to see something from the Houses of Healing, but I'm sure you'll find some quotes from there eventually.

From memory is it Ioreth? "Still it smells sweet when bruised does it not? Well, not sweet, maybe wholesome" or something to that effect.

Your memory is good! It's the first sentence in your quote. Your turn!

Slightly sneaky one. Clue is elsewhere over the past few days

Galadriel sang to the departing Fellowship:
Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.
of course I recognize it - it has my name in it!
