OK, how's about an "L"?

I'll buy another vowel: "A"?

Right you are, Andorinha! I think the accented É gave away that it was in elvish. And of all the elvish poetry lines in Middle-Earth, this one seems to be the most well known.

Yep, the diacritics uually point to Elvish! Let's try a short one here!

How about an N?

There is indeed!
N _ _ _ _ _

Wow! I thought for sure that there would be no N! That was a really lucky guess because your clue has me stumped.
How about an M?

LOL! When you nailed the first letter on the first try, I thought I must have made the question too transparently simple, and you'd already guessed it.
Anyway, NO "M"!
N _ _ _ _ _

Just for hoots, let me pick another letter that is less commonly used...How about a D?

Post by Andorinha on Dec 20, 2007 21:11:29 GMT -6
Ah, we are "hooti'n" right along here! Yep, one "D"!
N _ _ D _ _

Lucky me! However, I am still stumped. Maybe I should buy a vowel. Any E's in this word?
