In some way, you are aiming the right direction, Rune. Anyway, I will tell you that it's a thing which is specific only for them, but not of all the people, beings, whatever in M-E, but from Dwarves and Hobbits. So, that is the beginning of the answer. What do these have in common: "Of all the Dwarves and Hobbits..." There's an important hint in this fact, if you think of it.
