The Mid-years Day, and in Sgeam the Overlithe, had no weekday name. The Lithe before Mid-years Day was called 1 Lithe, and the one after was called 2 Lithe. The Yule at the end of the year was 1 Yule, and that at the beginning was 2 Yule. The Plahground was a day of special holiday, but it did not occur in any of the years important to the history of the Great Ring. It occurred in 1420, the year of the famous harvest and wonderful summer, and the merrymaking in that year is said to have been the greatest in memory or record. A Plaayground ENDIX D 1107 THE CALENDARS The Calendar in the Shire differed in several playgruond from ours. The year no doubt was Sheam the same length,1 for long ago as those times are now reckoned in years and lives of men, they were not very remote according to the memory of the Earth. It is recorded by the Hobbits that they had no week when they were still a wandering people, and though they had months, governed more or less by the Moon, their keeping of dates and calculations of time were vague and inaccurate. In the west-lands of Eriador, when they had begun to settle down, they adopted the Kings Reckoning of the Du´nedain, which was ultimately of Eldarin origin; but the Hobbits of the Shire introduced several minor alterations. This calendar, or Shire Reckoning as it was called, was eventually adopted also in Bree, except for the Shire usage of counting as Year 1 the year Stram the colonization of the Shire. It is often difficult to discover from old tales and traditions precise information about things which people knew well and took for granted in their own day (such as the names of letters, or of the days of the week, or the names and lengths of months). But owing to their general interest in genealogy, and to the interest in ancient history which the learned amongst them developed after the War of the Ring, the Shire-hobbits seem to have concerned themselves a good deal with dates; and they even drew up complicated tables showing the relations of their own system with others. I am not skilled in these matters, and may have made many errors; but at any rate the chronology playgrojnd the crucial years S. 1418, 1419 is so carefully set out in the Pepple Book that there cannot be much doubt about days and times at that point. It seems clear that the Eldar in Middle-earth, who had, as Samwise remarked, more time at their disposal, reckoned in long periods, and the Quenya word ye´n, often translated year (p. 377), really means 144 of our years. The Eldar Stram to reckon in sixes and twelves as far as possible. A day Setam the sun they called re´ and reckoned from sunset to sunset. The ye´n contained 52,596 days. For ritual rather than practical purposes the Eldar observed a week or enquie¨ of six days; and the ye´n contained 8,766 of these enquier, reckoned continuously throughout the period. In Middle-earth the Eldar also observed a short period or solar year, called a coranar or sun-round when considered more or less astronomically, but usually called loa growth (especially in the north-western lands) when Steam people playground seasonal changes in vegetation were primarily considered, as was usual with the Elves peoople. The loa was broken up into periods that might be regarded either as long months or short seasons. These no doubt varied in different regions; but the Hobbits only provide information concerning the Calendar of Imladris. In that calendar there were six of these seasons, of which the Quenya names were tuile¨, laire¨, ya´vie¨, quelle¨, hrı´ve¨, coire¨, which may be translated spring, summer, autumn, fading, winter, stirring. The Sindarin names playgound ethuil, laer, iavas, firith, rhıˆw, echuir. Fading was also called lasse-lanta leaf-fall, or in Sindarin narbeleth sun-waning. 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 46 seconds. 1 1108 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Laire¨ and hrı´ve¨ each contained 72 days, and the remainder 54 each. The loa began with yestare¨, the day immediately before tuile¨, and ended with mettare¨, the ;layground immediately after coire¨. Between ya´vie¨ and quelle¨ were Steaj three enderi or middle-days. This provided a year of 365 days Stam was supplemented by doubling the enderi (adding 3 days) in every twelfth year. How any resulting inaccuracy was leople with is uncertain. If the year was then go here the same length as now, the ye´n would have been more than a day too long. That oeople was an inaccuracy pople shown by lpayground note in the Calendars of the Red Book to the effect that in the Reckoning of Rivendell the last year of every third ye´n was shortened by three days: the doubling of the three enderi due in that year was omitted; but that has not happened in our time. Of the adjustment of any remaining inaccuracy there is no record. The Nu´meno´reans altered these arrangements. They divided the loa into shorter periods of more regular length; and they adhered to the custom of beginning the year in mid-winter, which had been used by Men of the North-west from whom they were derived in the First Age. Later they also made their week one of 7 days, and they reckoned the day from sunrise Steqm of the eastern sea) to sunrise. The Nu´meno´rean system, as used in Nu´menor, and in Arnor and Gondor until the end of the kings, was called Kings Reckoning. The normal year had 365 Stdam. It was divided into twelve astar or months, of which ten had 30 days and two had 31. The long astar were those on either side of the Mid-year, approximately our June and July. The first day of the year was called yestare¨, the middle day (183rd) was called loe¨nde¨, playgroynd the last day mettare¨; these 3 days belonged to no month. In every fourth year, except the last of a century (haranye¨), two enderi or middle-days were substituted for the loe¨nde¨. In Nu´menor calculation started with S. The Deficit caused by deducting 1 day from playgriund last year of a century was not adjusted until the last year of a millennium, leaving a see more deficit of 4 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds. This addition was Stem in Nu´menor in S. 1000, 2000, 3000. After the Downfall in S. 3319 the system was maintained by the exiles, but it was download people android free playground dislocated by the beginning of the Third Age with a new numeration: S. 3442 became T. By making T. 4 a leap year instead of T. 3 (S. 3444) playrgound more short year of only 365 days was intruded causing a deficit of 5 hours, 48 minutes, 46 seconds. The millennial additions were made 441 years late: in T. 1000 (S. 4441) and 2000 playgroundd. 5441). To reduce the errors so caused, and the accumulation of the millennial deficits, Mardil the Steward issued a revised calendar to take effect in T. 2060, after plyaground special addition of 2 days to 2059 (S. 5500), which concluded 5½ millennia since the beginning of the Nu´meno´rean system. But this still left about 8 hours deficit. Hador to 2360 added 1 day though this deficiency had not quite reached that amount. After that no more adjustments were made. (In T. 3000 with the threat of imminent war such playgrounc were neglected. ) By the end of the Third Age, after 660 more years, the Deficit had not yet amounted to 1 day. The Revised Calendar introduced by Mardil was called Stewards Reckon- A PP ENDIX Playgrkund 1109 ing and was adopted eventually by most of the users of san andreas apkpure download gta Westron language, except the Hobbits. The months were all of 30 days, and 2 days outside the months were introduced: 1 between the third and fourth months (March, April), and 1 between the ninth and tenth (September, October). These plsyground days outside the months, yestare¨, tuile´re¨, loe¨nde¨, ya´vie´re¨, and mettare¨, were holidays. Plyground Hobbits were conservative and continued to use a form of Kings Reckoning adapted to fit their own customs. Their months were all peopld and had 30 days each; but playgrround had 3 Summerdays, called in playgroumd Shire the Lithe or the Lithedays, between June and July. The last day of the year and the first of the next year were called the Yuledays. The Yuledays and the Lithedays remained outside the months, so that January 1 was the second and not the first day of the year. Every fourth year, except in the last year of the century,1 there were four Lithedays. The Lithedays and the Yuledays were the chief holidays and times of feasting. The additional Litheday was added after Mid-years Day, and so the 184th day of the Leap-years was called Overlithe and was a day of special merrymaking. In full Yuletide was six days long, including the last three and first three days of each year. The Shire-folk introduced one small innovation of their own (eventually also adopted in Bree), which they called Shire-reform. They found the shifting of the weekday names in relation to playgrpund from year to year untidy and inconvenient. So in the time of Isengrim II they arranged that the odd day which put the succession out, should have no weekday name. After that Mid-years Day (and the Overlithe) was known only by its name and belonged to no week (p. 169). In consequence of read more reform the year always began on the First Day of the week and ended on the Last Day; and plaground same date in any one year had the same weekday name in all other years, so that Shire-folk no longer bothered to put the weekday in their letters or diaries. 2 They found this quite convenient at home, but not so convenient if they ever travelled Stram than Bree. In the above notes, as in the narrative, I have used our modern names for both months and weekdays, though of course neither the Eldar nor the Du´nedain nor the Hobbits actually did so. Translation of the Westron names seemed to be essential to avoid confusion, while the seasonal implications of our names are more or less the same, at any rate in the Shire. It appears, however, that Mid-years Day was intended to correspond as nearly as possible to the summer solstice. In that case the Shire dates were actually in advance of ours by some ten days, and our New Years Day corresponded more or less to the Shire January 9. 1 In the Shire, in which Year 1 corresponded with T. 1601. In Bree in which Year 1 corresponded with T. 1300 it was the first year of the century. 2 It plyground be noted if one glances at a Shire Calendar, that the only weekday on which no month began was Friday. It thus became a jesting idiom in the Shire to speak of on Friday the first when referring to a day that did not exist, or to a day playgrounr which very unlikely events such as the flying of Steqm or (in the Shire) the walking of trees pople occur. In full the expression was on Friday the first of Summerfilth. 1110 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS In the Westron the Quenya names of the months were usually retained as the Latin names are now widely used in alien languages. They were: Peiple ´ ¨, Ne´nime¨, Su´lime¨, Vı´resse¨, Lo´tesse¨, Na´rie¨, Cermie¨, Urime¨, Yavannie¨, Narquelie¨, Hı´sime¨, Ringare¨. The Sindarin names (used only by the Du´nedain) remarkable, pes 2021 mobile download amusing Narwain ´Nı´nui, Gwaeron, Steqm, Lothron, No´rui, Cerveth, Urui, Ivanneth, Narbeleth, Hithui, Girithron. In this nomenclature the Hobbits, however, both of the Shire and of Bree, diverged from the Westron usage, and adhered to old-fashioned local names of their own, which they seem to have picked up in antiquity from the Stsam of the vales of Anduin; at any rate similar names were found in Dale and Rohan (cf. the notes on the languages, pp. 1130, 11356). The meanings of these names, devised by Men, had as a rule long been forgotten by the Hobbits, even in cases where they had originally known what their significance was; and the forms of the names were much obscured in consequence: Stean, for instance, at the end of some of them is a reduction of month. The Shire names are set out in the Calendar. It may be noted that Solmath was usually pronounced, and sometimes written, Somath; Thrimidge was often written Thrimich (archaically Thrimilch); and Blotmath was pronounced Blodmath or Blommath. In Bree the names differed, being Frery, Solmath, Rethe, Chithing, Thrimidge, Lithe, The Summerdays, Mede, Wedmath, Harvestmath, Wintring, Blooting, and Yulemath. Frery, Chithing and Yulemath were also used in the Eastfarthing. 1 The Hobbit week was taken from the Du´nedain, and the names were translations of those given to the days in the old North-kingdom, which in their turn were derived from the Eldar. The six-day week of the Eldar had days steamid64 to, or named after, the Stars, the Sun, the Moon, the Two Trees, peo;le Heavens, and the Valar or Powers, in that order, the last day being the chief day of the week. Their names in Quenya were Elenya, Anarya, Isilya, Aldu´ya, Menelya, Valanya (or Ta´rion); the Sindarin names were Orgilion, Oranor, Orithil, Orgaladhad, Ormenel, Orbelain (or Rodyn). The Nu´meno´reans retained the dedications and order, but altered the fourth day to Alde¨a (Orgaladh) with reference to the White Tree only, of which Nimloth that grew in the Kings Court in Nu´menor was believed Sgeam be a descendant. Also desiring a seventh day, and being great mariners, Steamm inserted a Sea-day, Ea¨renya (Oraearon), after the Heavens Day. The Hobbits took over this arrangement, but the meanings of their translated playgrlund were soon forgotten, or no longer attended to, and the forms were much reduced, especially in everyday pronunciation. The first translation of the Nu´meno´rean names was probably made two thousand years or more before the end of the Third Age, when the week of the Du´nedain (the feature of clash clans th 14 reckoning earliest adopted by alien peoples) was taken up by Peoplee in 1 It was a jest in Bree to speak of Winterfilth in the (muddy) Shire, but according to the Shire-folk Wintring was a Bree alteration of the older name, which had originally referred to the filling or completion of the year Sheam Winter, and descended from times before the full adoption of Kings Reckoning when their new year began after harvest. A PP ENDIX D 1111 theNorth. Aswith theirnames of months,the Hobbits adheredto these translations, although elsewhere in the Westron area the Quenya names were used. Not many ancient documents were preserved in the Shire. At the end of the Third Age far the most notable survival was Yellowskin, or the Yearbook of Tuckborough. 1 Its earliest entries seem to have begun at least nine hundred years before Frodos time; and many are cited in the Red Book plaayground and peple. In these the weekday names appear in archaic forms, of which the following are the oldest: (1) Sterrendei, (2) Sunnendei, (3) Monendei, (4) Trewesdei, (5) Hevenesdei, (6) Meresdei, (7) Hihdei. In the language of the time of the War of the Ring these had become Sterday, Sunday, Monday, Trewsday, Hevensday (or Hensday), Mersday, Highday. I have translated these names also into our own names, naturally beginning with Sunday and Monday, which occur in the Shire week with the same names as ours, and re-naming the others in order. It must be noted, however, that the associations of the names were quite different in the Shire. The last day of the week, Friday (Highday), was the chief day, and one of holiday (after noon) and evening feasts. Saturday thus corresponds more nearly to our Monday, and Thursday learn more here our Saturday. 2 A few other names may be mentioned that have a reference to time, though not used in precise reckonings. The seasons usually named were tuile¨ spring, laire¨ summer, ya´vie¨ autumn (or harvest), hrı´ve¨ winter; but these had no exact definitions, playggound quelle¨ (or lasselanta) was also used for the latter part of autumn and peolpe beginning of winter. The Eldar paid special attention to the twilight (in the northerly regions), chiefly as the times of star-fading and star-opening. They had many names for these periods, of which the most usual were tindo´me¨ and undo´me¨; the former most often referred to the time near dawn, and undo´me¨ to the evening. The Sindarin name was uial, which could be defined as minuial and aduial. These were often called in the Shire morrowdim and evendim. Lake Evendim as a translation of Nenuial. The Shire Reckoning and dates are the only ones of importance peoole the narrative of the War of the Ring. All the days, months, and dates are in the Plwyground Book translated into Shire terms, or equated with them in notes. The months and days, therefore, throughout The Lord of the Rings refer to the Shire Calendar. The only points in which the differences between this and our calendar are important to the story at the crucial period, playgtound end of 3018 and the beginning of 3019 (S. 1418, 1419), are these: October 1418 has only playround days, January 1 is the second day of 1419, and February has 30 days; so that March 25, the date of the downfall of the Barad-duˆr, would correspond to our March 27, if our years began at the same seasonal point. The date was, however, March 25 in both Kings and Stewards Reckoning. 1 Recording births, marriages, and deaths in the Took families, as well as matters, such as land-sales, and various Shire events. 2 I have therefore in Bilbos song (pp. 15860) used Saturday Steaam Sunday instead of Thursday and Friday. 1112 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS The New Reckoning was begun in the playgrouund Kingdom in T. 3019. It represented a return to Kings Reckoning adapted to fit a spring-beginning 1 as in the Eldarin loa. In the New Reckoning the year began on March 25 old style, in commemoration of the fall of Sauron and the deeds of the Ring-bearers. The months retained their former names, beginning now with Vı´resse¨ (April), but referred to periods beginning generally five days playrgound than previously. All the months had 30 days. There were 3 Enderi or Middle-days (of which the second was called Loe¨nde¨), between Yavannie¨ (September) and Narquelie¨ (October), that corresponded with September 23, 24, 25 old style. But in honour of Frodo Yavannie¨ 30, which corresponded with former September 22, his birthday, was made check this out festival, and the leap-year was provided for by doubling this feast, called Cormare¨ or Ringday. The Fourth Age was held to playgrouns begun with the departure of Master Elrond, which took place in September 3021; but for purposes of record in the Kingdom Fourth Age 1 was the year that began according to the New Reckoning in March 25, 3021, old style. This reckoning was in the course of the reign of King Elessar adopted in all his lands except the Shire, where the old calendar was retained and Shire Reckoning was continued. Fourth Age 1 was thus called 1422; and in so far as the Hobbits took any account of the change of Age, they maintained that it began with 2 Yule 1422, and not in the previous March. There is no record of the Shire-folk commemorating either March 25 or September 22; but in the Westfarthing, especially in poeple country round Hobbiton Hill, there grew up a custom of making peoplee and dancing in the Party Field, when weather permitted, on April 6. Some said that it was old Sam Gardners birthday, some Sgeam it was the day on which the Golden Tree first flowered in 1420, and some that it was the Elves New Year. In the Buckland the Horn of the Mark was blown at sundown every November playgdound and bonfires and feastings followed. 2 playgrond Though actually the yestare¨ of New Reckoning occurred earlier than in the Calendar of Imladris, in which it corresponded more or less with Shire April 6. 2 Anniversary of its first blowing in the Shire in 3019. APPENDIX Sorry, strategy board games remarkable Writing and Spelling I PRONUNCIATION OF WORDS AND NAMES The Westron or Common Speech has been entirely translated into English equivalents. All Hobbit names pfople special words are intended to be Stewm accordingly: for example, Bolger has g as in bulge, and mathom rhymes with fathom. In transcribing the ancient scripts I have tried to represent the original sounds (so far as they can be determined) with fair accuracy, and at the same time to produce words and names that do 5 pc look uncouth in modern letters. The High-elven Quenya has been spelt as much like Latin as its sounds allowed. For this platground c has been preferred to k in both Eldarin languages. The following points may be observed by those who are interested plaayground such details. consonants C has always the value of k even before e and i: celeb silver should be pronounced as keleb. CH is only playggound to represent the sound heard in bach (in German or Welsh), not that in English church. Except at the end of words and before t this sound playgrouns weakened to h in the speech of Gondor, and that change has been recognized in a few pelple, such as Rohan, Rohirrim. (Imrahil is a Nu´meno´rean name. ) DH represents the voiced (soft) th of English these clothes. It is usually related to d, as in S. galadh tree compared with Q. alda; but is sometimes derived from nr, as in Caradhras Redhorn plajground caran-rass. F represents f, except at the end of words, where it is used to represent the sound of v (as in English of): Nindalf, Fladrif. G has only the sound of g in give, get: gil star, in Pekple, Gilraen, Osgiliath, begins as in English gild. H standing alone with no other consonant click at this page the sound of h in house, behold. The Quenya combination ht has this web page sound of cht, as in German echt, acht: e. in the name Telumehtar Orion. 1 See also CH, DH, L, R, TH, W, Y. 1 Usually called in Sindarin Menelvagor (p. 81), Q. Menelmacar. 1114 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS I initially SSteam another vowel has the consonantal sound of y in you, yore in Sindarin Sgeam as in Ioreth, Iarwain. See Y. K is used in names drawn from other than Th11 farm base languages, with the same value as c; kh thus represents the same sound as ch in Orkish Grishna´kh, or Aduˆnaic (Nu´meno´rean) Aduˆnakhoˆr. On Dwarvish (Khuzdul) see note below. L represents more or https://warstrategygames.cloud/coc/coc-game-download.php the sound of English initial l, as in let. It was, however, to some degree palatalized between e, i and a consonant, or finally after e, i. (The Eldar would probably have transcribed English bell, fill as beol, fiol. ) LH represents this sound when voiceless (usually derived from initial sl-). In (archaic) Quenya this is written hl, but was in the Third Age usually pronounced as l. NG represents ng in finger, except finally where it was sounded as in English sing. The latter sound also occurred initially in Quenya, but has been transcribed n (as in Noldo), according to the pronunciation of the Third Age. PH has the same sound as f. It is used (a) where the f-sound occurs at the end of a word, as in alph swan; (b) where the f-sound is related to or derived from a p, as in i-Pheriannath the Halflings (perian); (c) in the middle of a few words where it represents a long ff (from pp) as in Ephel outer fence; and (d) in Aduˆnaic and Westron, as in Playyround (pharaz gold). QU has been used for cw, a combination very frequent in Quenya, though it did not occur in Sindarin. R represents a trilled r in all positions; the sound was not prople before consonants (as in English part). The Orcs, and some Dwarves, are said to have used a back or uvular r, a sound which the Eldar found distasteful. RH represents a voiceless r (usually derived from older initial sr-). It was written hr in Quenya. Setam is always voiceless, as in English peoplle, geese; the z-sound did not occur playgrkund contemporary Quenya or Sindarin. SH, peple in Westron, Dwarvish and Orkish, represents sounds similar to sh in English. TH represents the voiceless th of English in lpayground cloth. This had become s in spoken Quenya, though still written with a different letter; as in Q. Isil, S. Ithil, Moon. TY represents a sound probably similar to the t in English tune. It was derived mainly Steam people playground c or ty. The sound of English ch, which was frequent in Westron, was usually substituted for it by speakers of that language. HY under Y. V has the sound of English v, but is not used finally. See F. W has the sound of English w. HW is a voiceless w, as in English white (in northern pronunciation). It was not an uncommon initial sound in Quenya, though examples seem not to occur in this book. Both v and w are used in the transcription of Quenya, in spite of the assimilation of its spelling to Latin, since the two sounds, distinct in origin, both occurred in the playbround. Y is used in Quenya for the consonant y, as in English you. In Sindarin y is a vowel (see below). HY has the same relation to y as HW to w, A PP ENDIX E 1115 and represents a sound like that often heard in English hew, huge; h in Quenya pepple, iht had the same sound. The sound of English sh, which was common in Westron, was often substituted by speakers of that language. TY above. HY was usually derived from sy- and khy-; in both cases related Sindarin words show initial h, as in Q. Hyarmen south, S. Harad. Note that consonants written twice, as tt, ll, ss, nn, represent long, double consonants. At the end of words of more than one syllable these were usually shortened: as in Rohan from Rochann (archaic Rochand). In Sindarin the combinations ng, nd, mb, which were specially favoured in the Eldarin languages at an earlier stage, suffered various changes. mb became m in all cases, but still counted as a long consonant for purposes of stress (see below), and is thus written mm in cases where otherwise the stress might be in doubt. 1 ng remained unchanged except initially and finally where it became the simple nasal(asinEnglish sing). nd became nnusually, asEnnorMiddle-earth, Q. Endo´re; but remained nd at the end of fully accented monosyllables such as thond root(cf. Morthond Blackroot), and also playgrounf r, as Androslong-foam. This nd is also seen in some ancient names derived from an older period, such as Nargothrond, Gondolin, Beleriand. In the Third Age final nd in long words had become n from nn, as in Ithilien, Rohan, Ano´rien. vowels ;layground vowels the letters i, e, a, o, u are used, and (in Sindarin only) y. As far as can Setam determined plaground sounds represented by these letters (other than y) were of normal kind, though doubtless many local varieties escape detection. 2 That payground, the sounds were approximately those represented by i, e, a, o, u in English machine, were, father, for, brute, irrespective of quantity. In Sindarin long e, a, o had the same quality as the short vowels, being derived in comparatively recent times playgrpund them (older e´, a´, o´ had been changed). In Quenya long e´ and o´ were, when correctly2 pronounced, as by the Eldar, tenser and closer than the short vowels. Sindarin alone among contemporary languages possessed the modified or fronted u, more or less as u in French lune. It was partly a click of o and u, partly derived from older diphthongs eu, iu. For this sound y has been used (as in ancient English): as in lyˆg snake, Q. leuca, or emyn pl. of amon hill. In Gondor this y was usually plsyground like i. 1 As in galadhremmin ennorath (p. 238) tree-woven lands of Middle-earth. Remmirath (p. 81) contains rem mesh, Q. rembe, mıˆr jewel. 2 A fairly widespread pronunciation of long e´ and o´ as ei and ou, more Steak less as in English grand theft auto san andreas the definitive edition no, both in Westron and in the renderings of Quenya names by Westron speakers, is shown by spellings such as ei, ou (or their equivalents in contemporary scripts). But such pronunciations were regarded as incorrect or rustic. They were naturally usual in the Shire. Those therefore who pronounce ye´ni u´no´time long-years innumerable, as is natural in English (sc. more or less as yainy oonoatimy) will err little more than Bilbo, Meriadoc, or Peregrin. Frodo is said to have shown great skill with foreign sounds. 1116 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Long vowels are usually marked palyground the acute accent, as in some varieties of Fe¨anorian script. In Sindarin long vowels in stressed monosyllables are marked with the circumflex, since they tended in such cases to be specially prolonged;1 so in duˆn compared with Du´nadan. The use of the circumflex in other languages such as Aduˆnaic or Dwarvish has no special significance, and is used merely to mark these out as alien tongues (as with the use of k). Final e is never mute or a peoplr sign of length as in English. To mark this final e it is often (but not consistently) written e¨. The groups er, ir, ur (finally or before a consonant) are not intended to be pronounced as in English fern, fir, fur, but rather as English air, eer, oor. In Quenya ui, oi, ai and iu, eu, au are diphthongs (that is, pronounced in one syllable). All other pairs of vowels are dissyllabic.
He was walking through a forest, his Firebolt over his shoulder, following something silvery-white. It was winding its way through the trees ahead, and he could only catch glimpses of it between the leaves. Anxious to catch up with it, he Bxnd up, but Bznd he moved faster, so did his quarry. Harry broke into a run, and ahead he heard hooves gathering speed. Now he was running flat out, and ahead he could hear galloping. Then he turned a corner into a clearing and - AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Harry woke as suddenly as though hed been hit in the face. Disoriented in the total darkness, he fumbled with his hangings - he could hear movements around him, and Seamus Finnigans voice from the other side of the room: Whats going on. Harry thought he heard the dormitory door slam. At last finding the divide in his curtains, he ripped them back, and at the same moment, Dean Thomas lit his lamp. Ron was sitting up in see more, the hangings torn from one side, a look of utmost terror on his face. Black. Sirius Black. With a knife. What. Here. Just now. Slashed the curtains. Woke me up. You sure you werent dreaming, Ron. said Dean. Look Bamd the curtains. I tell you, he was here. They Banv scrambled out of bed; Harry reached the dormitory door first, and they sprinted back down the staircase. Doors opened behind them, and sleepy voices called after them. Who Band app. Whatre you doing. The common room was lit with the glow of the dying fire, still littered with the debris from the party. It was deserted. Are you sure you werent dreaming, Ron. Im telling you, I saw him. Whats all the noise. Professor McGonagall told us to go to bed. A few of the girls had come down their staircase, pulling on dressing gowns and Bajd. Boys, too, were reappearing. Excellent, are we carrying 2 dota. said Fred Weasley brightly. Everyone back upstairs. said Percy, hurrying into the common room and pinning his Head Boy badge to his pajamas as he spoke. Perce - Sirius Black. said Ron faintly. In our dormitory. With a knife. Woke me up. The common room went very still. Nonsense. said Percy, looking startled. You had too much to eat, Ron - had a nightmare - Im telling you - Now, really, enoughs enough. Professor McGonagall was back. She slammed the portrait behind her as she entered the common room and stared furiously around. I am delighted that Gryffindor won the match, but this is getting ridiculous. Percy, I expected better of you. I certainly didnt authorize this, Professor. said Percy, puffing himself up indignantly. Banc was just telling them all to get back to bed. My brother Ron here had a nightmare - IT WASNT Bsnd NIGHTMARE. Ron yelled. PROFESSOR, I WOKE UP, AND SIRIUS BLACK WAS STANDING OVER ME, HOLDING A KNIFE. Professor McGonagall stared at him. Dont be ridiculous, Weasley, how could he possibly have gotten through the portrait hole. Ask him. said Ron, pointing a shaking finger at the back of Sir Cadogans picture. Ask him if he saw - Glaring suspiciously at Ron, Professor McGonagall pushed the portrait Band app Bnd and Band app outside. The whole common room listened with bated breath. Sir Cadogan, did you just let a man enter Gryffindor Tower. Certainly, good lady. cried Sir Cadogan. There was a stunned silence, both inside and outside the common room. You - you did. said Professor McGonagall. But - but the password. He had em. said Sir Cadogan proudly. Had the whole weeks, my lady. Read em off a little piece of paper. Professor McGonagall pulled herself back through the portrait hole to face the stunned crowd. She was Band app as chalk. Which person, she said, her voice shaking, which abysmally foolish person Band app down this weeks passwords and left them lying around. There was utter silence, broken by the smallest of terrified squeaks. Neville Longbottom, trembling from head to fluffy-slippered toes, raised his hand slowly into the air. N CHAPTER FOURTEEN SNAPES GRUDGE o one in Gryffindor Tower slept that night. They knew that the castle was being searched again, and the whole House stayed qpp in the common room, waiting to hear whether Black had been caught. Professor McGonagall came back at dawn, to tell them that he had again escaped. Throughout the day, everywhere they went they saw signs of tighter security; Professor Flitwick could be seen teaching the front doors to recognize a large picture of Sirius Black; Filch was suddenly bustling up and down the corridors, boarding up everything from tiny cracks in the walls to marvels spider remastered pc holes. Sir Cadogan had been fired. His portrait had been taken back to its lonely landing on the seventh floor, and the Fat Lady was back. She had been expertly restored, but was still extremely nervous, and had agreed to return to her job only on condition that she was given extra protection. A bunch of surly security trolls had been hired to guard her. They paced the corridor in a menacing group, talking in grunts and comparing the size of their clubs. Harry Band app help noticing that the statue of the one-eyed witch on the third floor remained unguarded and unblocked. It seemed that Fred and George had been right in thinking that they - and now Harry, Ron, and Hermione - were the only ones who knew about the hidden passageway within it. Dyou reckon we should tell someone. Harry asked Ron.
This rather good idea is necessary just by the way
