Bravo, Sacepan, I believe you've found an unplanned error in Tolkien's writing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] There are other explainations though, if one really wants to make Tolkien perfect. We could say, for instance, that they were talking about the king under the mountain, though that wouldn't make very good sense.
Congratulations!,
Iarwain
