Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Wow, I didn't even notice that Voronwë had posted a new quote. My "Looks like it" was addressed to the last post on the previous page. I really need to start noticing the "Next" button...

Wrong book of LotR or a different book entirely?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Is it related to cleaning up/eating food, or cleaning up a camp?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Later than the famous Bath Song. Not related to eating or camping.
