It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house." - Aragorn (This post was edited by Otaku-sempai on Aug 9 2012, 5:05am)

imin Valinor Aug 9 2012, 7:09pm Views: 3340 Does hurtle mean hurdle? /

Silverlode Forum Admin / Moderator Aug 11 2012, 7:27pm Views: 3357 You can hurtle toward a hurdle but it might make you hurple. Hurple (or hirple): Scottish dialect word meaning to walk with a limp; to hobble. Silverlode "Of all faces those of our familiares are the ones both most difficult to play fantastic tricks with, and most difficult really to see with fresh attention. They have become like the things which once attracted us by their glitter, or their colour, or their shape, and we laid hands on them, and then locked them in our hoard, acquired them, and acquiring ceased to look at them. Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else [make something new], may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds. The gems all turn into flowers or flames, and you will be warned that all you had (or knew) was dangerous and potent, not really effectively chained, free and wild; no more yours than they were you." -On Fairy Stories (This post was edited by Silverlode on Aug 11 2012, 7:28pm)

imin Valinor Aug 12 2012, 1:14am Views: 3403 When hurtling towards a hurdle its best to hlaupa* the hurdle to make sure you dont hurple! :P *Hlaupa one word in the Cumbrian dialect meaning jump/to jump. Also lowp but where is the fun in that, lol.
