Re: The Hobbit and LOTR Trivia

Why did the Dunadan consider the poem which Bilbo recited in Elrond's Hall of Fire to be &quot;cheeky&quot;.

Re: The Hobbit and LOTR Trivia

Because of Bilbo's rhyme technique (in which the style is one of a purposely slightly annoying tone and verse pacing) and his audacity to make up a song about Elrond's father in the House of Elrond.

Re: The Hobbit and LOTR Trivia

No.
Dis was born 14 years after Thorin and 9 years after Frerin.

The sister I am referring to is un-named.
The dwarf can be identified however, from information supplied by Tolkien.

Re: The Hobbit and LOTR Trivia

Just so this thread won't degenerate into limbo; I'll provide the answer here and ask Jes to assign a new question to someone as I am again leaving for a while.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> J.R.R. Tolkien HISTORY Vol. 12; THE MAKING OF APPENDIX A
'They are seldom named in genealogies. They join their husband's families. But if a son is seen to be 110 or so years younger than his father, this usually indicates an elder daughter.'<hr></blockquote>
Borin son of Nain II born 2450
Farin son of Borin born 2560

Farin in all probability has an elder (un-named) sister according to information from Tolkien, and the only known dwarf to fall under this criteria.

Re: Sam´s brothers-in-law

The only thing I can think of is that you are mistakingly equating Peregrin Took as a brother-in-law.
If not; then I surrender.

Main Entry: brother-in-law
1 : the brother of one's spouse
2 a : the husband of one's sister b : the husband of one's spouse's
sister

Sam and Peregrin are fathers-in-law.
That's about the best that is available.

It's always the same: I had to guess between two numbers and I chose the wrog one.
So the: the answer is 7.
I must have guessed it, as Tolkien seemed to like 7 (the sons of Feanor, the portal of Gondolin...)

Galadriel says, when the company was at Lothlorien, that Frodo had only used the Ring three times. What were these three times?

The first time Frodo used the Ring was at Bombadil's house to make sure that the Ring was the one he gave Tom, the second time was in Bree at the Prancing Poney (? I'm not sure, I mean Barliman's one), and the third was when Frodo was attacked by Boromir to escape from him.

Quoting from Appendix C, LotR:

&quot;Gerontius, The Old Took
1190-1320
= Adamanta Chubb&quot;

And hello to everyone - my first post at the Barrowdowns.

Thanks Voronwe and H-I - Ok...Keeping with the Hobbit-y theme, who was the first Thain of the Shire and how long did his family/line hold that title for?

[HerenIstarion]

it was Bucca of the Marish, of whom Oldbucks claimed descent. As for how long, I don't remember exactly, but apparently until Oldbucks crossed Baranduin and changed their name to Brandybucks, and thainship came to Tooks.

Actually I wasn't looking for a year or event; rather that they held the title for 10 generations, (which was not clear when I asked so admittedly I phrased the question wrongly.) <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> Ask!

[HerenIstarion]

In the Hobbit, how are called Vanyar, Noldor and Teleri?

Well,

I'm not exactly sure, but Elrond does say when asked about Glamdring and Orcrist that these are &quot;old swords of the High Elves of the West...&quot; And the remaining Silvan Teleri Elves would be plain Wood Elves?


</p>

[HerenIstarion]

Well, that is correct so far, but I need three kindreds of high elves. As a hint - they are called so not by any character, but by a narrator (i e Tolkien himself)

Found It

Ok, I think I have it now...It's after the spider part, where Tolkien says:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;The feasting people were Wood-elves, of course...They differed from the High Elves of the West...for most of them were descended from the ancient triebes that never went to Faerie in the West. There the Light-elves (presumably Vanyar) and the Deep-elves (Noldor) and the Sea-elves (Teleri) went and lived for ages...&quot;<hr></blockquote>

[HerenIstarion]

These items are in LoTR always called by their 'translated' name, though their proper name is known as well. One of them nearly became 'bane' for one of the banakil. Give me both names

Double Trouble

Hmm...I think I get what you're saying, but...you want both names of an object that was nearly the 'bane' of one of the halflings? I can only think of one instance though, and it doesn't really fit...Pippin getting crushed by a Troll/Olog Hai. Hmm.

[HerenIstarion]

Nope

A hint - Pippin is ok, but a 'bane' is an object

And Durin's Bane, the balrog. Erm...AHAH! After trying to remember every single instance where Pippin does something wrong...It must have been when Pippin looked into the Palantir/Seeing-stone? Palantir/Orthanc-stone? <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Right. And in the LoTR palantiri are never (at least in the bulk of a text itself) called so, but always 'seeing-stones' shoot away, enep

Entymology

Hmm...I don't know exactly, and I looked it up but couldn't get an exact answer. The only lead I got was that it is a derivative from the old english word fealuhaer, meaning 'yellow haired.' Apart from that I don't know. :rollyeyes

[HerenIstarion]

JRRT, Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings

Fallohide. This has given difficulty. It should if possible be translated, since it is meant to represent a name with a meaning in the Common Speech, though one devised in the past and so containing archaic elements. It is made of English fallow + hide (cognates of German falb and Haut) and means 'Paleskin'. It is archaic, since fallow 'pale, yellowish' is not now in use, except in fallow deer, and hide is no longer applied to human skin (except as a transference back from its use of animal hides, used for leather). But this element of archaism need not be imitated. See III 414 on the relation of special hobbit words to the language of Rohan.

ok, here is the next one:

I double checked just to make sure I had not hallucinated. Sorry, that's not it either. There is something not typical, at least in comparison with Thorin's dwarves, about the dwarven soldiers accompanying Dain. It is something about the dwarves themselves, not their gear.

Re: Wraith Fashion

In a little pouch and then on his island in the cave.
That pouch always worried me. It was proabably made out of Goblin hide or a Goblin bladder. He had been in thoses caves a long time, and I don't think his original clothes would have held up.
