Here are 2 stretches for “X”:

First concerns the a"X"is about which the stars of Arda reel in the sky – Balcercor or the Sickle of the Valar.

Second offered is a short quote from The Hobbit – ‘Out of the Frying-pan Into the Fire', where Bilbo would have to have become a creature who can fly through the air were he to try to escape from the ledge where the eagle had stashed him:

Quote:
There was no path down on to it save by flying; and no path down off it e"X"cept by jumping over a precipice.
