Okay, here is a bit of the Professor's history that illuminates his character as well as his soul. Although JRR despised machinary he did use a tape recorder to hear what the Lord of The Rings would sound like. Before he did so he taped something else and in what language?

Bruce I could be WAY off here...but didn't Tolkien record Galadriel's song..."Ailaurië lantar lassi súrinen"...in Elvish?

Yes he did but it wasn't the first recording he made. Hint: Amen

I remember that it was a prayer in order to exorcize any demon that might reside in the contraption. Was it the Our Father?

Bingo Merry, I recall I posted that in the WoR site. It really does illusrtate our beloved Professor does it not? But in what language?

Merry · Post by **Merry** » Sun Dec 11, 2005 8:59 pm

Oh, the indignities of old age and memory failure! This is a big guess: Old English?

Alex Trebeck would have not accepted it , but I say, your turn Merry. It was Gothic English

Merry · Post by **Merry** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 5:00 am

I suppose the Our Father in Gothic is appropriate!

Here's a level 1 question: see if you can do this from memory, because it would be very easy to find.

Name Haldir's two brothers.
