Is "autumn" part of the original quote?

So the fall means sudden lowering rather than autumn?

Frodo in the boat, flowing towards Amon Hen, after Legolas’ shot hit the flying Nazgûl:
“Whatever it was, it’s fall has dismayed our enemies”.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
That's the one!
Also, kudos to your iPhone for recognizing the correct spelling of "Nazgûl".
(but why did it remove the apostrophe in "iPhone's"?)

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Are you sure it was your phone that autocorrected and not the board? Pretty sure Voronwë has all the proper names and accents auto-correct upon posting (including his name, I might add) 
The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Yes, it was my phone. Because the correct suggestion was made before I submitted the post.

Eep.
So, you spoke, hope often deceives, but I didn't know at the time that you were a visionary.

Is it Éomer?
So you spoke, but hope oft deceives, and I knew not then that you were a man foresighted.
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Bingo. Your turn.

Thanks, Inanna!
Banished to the slaves of their King to send brave men and his only son and heir, and they alone, are returned?

It was spoken before the Second Age, but not necessarily during the First Age of the Sun.
