The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Jude]

Hint needed?

Edit to bring it to the new page:

Maybe you can find a light rudder that suits him. But we don't have a postal or sword for his height.

[Inanna]

Related to outfitting a hobbit? At Gondor?

[Jude]

Yes, but not at Gondor...

[Frelga]

In Rohan?

[Jude]

I believe so.

[Jude]

I think you have all the info needed to solve this, but is another hint needed?

[Jude]

Another hint, if needed:

Hidden text.

It's found in Book V

[Inanna]

I think I was looking in the right chapter - when the Riders are getting ready in Rohan?

[Jude]

Yup!

[Inanna]

Is it Éowyn giving Merry his gear?

'No mail have we to fit you,nor any time for the forging of such a hauberk; but here is a stout jerkin of leather, a belt, and a knife. A sword you have."

[Jude]

It's actually one chapter earlier than that...

[Inanna]

I was unsure about that one.

Found it:
Éomer to Théoden:
"Maybe a light helm might be found to fit him; but we have no mail or sword for one of his stature."

[Jude]

That's the one! "Helm" became "rudder" and "mail" became "postal".

Your turn!

[Inanna]

They have a shadow of courageous anger. And I think they did evil for both Aman and their own parents.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Must be from The Silmarillion, yes?

[Inanna]

Yes.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Is it Melian speaking to Thingol about the sons of Fëanor: "The shadow of the wrath of the Valar lies upon them; and they have done evil, I perceive, both in Aman and to their own kin."

[Inanna]

And, Yes.

Your turn.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Interesting that 'Aman' made it into the translation but 'Valar' did not.

I think valar --> valor --> courageous.
