Was it "we cannot get out" originally?

It's a little less than half of the original.

So a 5 word sentence?

I missed this question originally, sorry!

The answer is no.

"Is "get out" (or either "get" or "out") in the original?

Post by **Jude** » Tue Sep 06, 2022 7:00 pm

Neither of those words is in the original.

Is it said in the Third Age?

Is it “Let’s get out of sight”; Frodo to Sam in the shire, just before they encounter the first Rider.

Yes to Voronwë.

It is said earlier than Inanna's guess.

Tue Sep 06, 2022 7:19 pm

Is it said before or after Frodo was born?

Post by **Jude** » Tue Sep 06, 2022 8:20 pm

Before.

Tue Sep 06, 2022 8:28 pm

Before or after Gollum and Bilbo told each other riddles?

Post by **Jude** » Tue Sep 06, 2022 8:57 pm

After.

Said by a Dwarf?

You're on the right track. Ish.

Wed Sep 07, 2022 12:24 am

I'm confused. Is it said by a dwarf or not?

Post by **Jude** » Wed Sep 07, 2022 1:05 am

It is said by many dwarves.
