Depends on your definition! ;) But, no, it's a full sentence. This one might be very difficult, since only about 3 words survived the first translation!

Here's my Hail-Varda guess:

"...and it is to be hoped we shan't." Dori?

*clutching at more straws*

Gandalf?

"And earlier, it is to be hoped."

Nope. To narrow it further, only 3 people are present.

Is this the three hunters - Aragorn saying something like "Then we must do without hope"?

Ok, another hint. The strange speech pattern is what makes this one so difficult to translate.

:D Everything that passes through the Translation Party ends up with a strange speech pattern.

But your clue makes me think it might be Gollum.

Is it possibly - "Yes! We wants it!"

Close enough! Its Gollum alright, and the exact quote was:

Quote:
It's ours, it is, and we wants it

Oooh. I know the second half is "He looks more than half a goblin". I'll guess its Frodo about the squint eyed southerner in Bree.

That's right! The first half is "So that's where that southerner is hiding" after spotting him hide behind a hedge.

I think I know this one. Looking up the quote:


"Got you, Gorbag!" he cried. "Not quite dead, eh? Well, I'll finish my job now."
