man in grey --> thats generally gandalf (as he dressed
in grey)

at a loss --> when did gandalf not know the correct
think to say ?

> Words, commands, and phrases left it bound

left it bound --> something was shut, and gandalf
couldn't get it opened.

> til this attempt did at the entry sound.

THIS ATTEMPT at the entry sound --> so what was the
phase that gandalf finally used to open something that
was shut ???

Methinks we are talking about the gates of moria. Do
you want the answer, or do you want it look it up
yourself (as you only asked for insight, not the
answer itself)

thanks
din

p.s still heartbroken I only log on once every couple
of days :frowning:
