Ah! But the dwarven rings were mentioned, at the council of Rivendell. Sauron's emmissaries to Dain offered him one of the dwarven rings in exchange for fealty and news of this "this smallest of rings, a trifle he fancies." He had them.
Derelan, I will dig for it, but I belive Gandalf was asked why the three couldn't be used in battle. His answer was that they were for healing, preserving, etc, not war. That would indicate that the nineteen rings were more specific in their use.
(Sorry about that Elendur, I wasn't ignoring you, I guess I was typing while you posted.)
