New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

[JenB]

ewegie...

[HairOfTheDog]

hard g

[g'nad]

s'why didn't yuh spell it ooooo-gie in the first place?...

[SuziQ]

So how'd I do?

[HairOfTheDog]

s'why didn't yuh spell it ooooo-gie in the first place?...

I thought it looked right as ewegie.... but it caused much confusion with my husband as well. It'll be ooogie from here on out ;~D

[RosieCotton]

Yer weirder than Soupy...

[RosieCotton]

It'll be ooogie from here on out ;~D

Unless you've just added a new word to the Hobbit Hole lexicon! Ewegie, ewegie, ewegie!

[ecurbh]

When I first saw it, I thought it said E-wedgie.

[HairOfTheDog]

I do like the "ew" sound in the word.... it makes for a more ~nuanced~ word than a mere "ooooo" sound.

[ecurbh]

I think part of the problem with that spelling the 'e' between 'w' and 'g', which seems to try and add a syllable. Perhaps 'ewgie' is a good compromise.

[Professional Engineer]

so how did Shelob's stinger get thru it?...

Smart kid. Give TheBoy a t-shirt!

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes... perhaps that is better.... maybe with some extra characters for emphasis... eeewwwwgie.

[JenB]

It still doesn't sound like a word... does it mean the same as "squicky"?

[RosieCotton]

Heh...someone here wants a camera picked up from LeZot's Camera shop. Sounds dangerous. I picture it being headed up by Viking Kitties....

[HairOfTheDog]

I am not familiar with squicky.... but it doesn't sound equivalent.

[JenB]

I think "squicky" describes a thing to which your reaction would be "ewgie".

And what's wrong with good old yuck?

[RosieCotton]

There is always room for more words...

Word development is a fascinating thing!

Ewgie ewgie ewgie!
