A point to be made: I don't know the exact words of Glorfindel's prophecy about the W-K, but if the Nazgul Lord's utterance prior to his death is accurate, he's got some major loopholes to deal with. Obviously, he could be killed by anybody, but would only be killed by someone not covered in the prophecy.
If his phrase immediately before his end ("No living man may hinder me!") is correct, he has to deal with.
-Hobbits (stupid Westernesse blades!)
-Elves (stupid Lothlorien bows!)
-Dwarves (stupid Khuzdul axes and such!)
-Non-living men (stupid Dead Men of Dunharrow!)
-Animals (trampled by an oliphaunt...ouch!)
-Nature (avalanche, lightning bolt, lemur)
