You want to give us a quote?

I'm not sure if it was the whole paragraph, or just this bit:
We will fetch him from his hole, if he does not come. Bring out your skulking king!

Was this Frelga's original quote, by any chance?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Nope - we haven't met Boromir yet at this point.
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
