[Pervinca Took]

Ah, then the Shire names aren't all listed in the appendices of names in the LOTR (unless I was looking in the wrong place). Great clues anyway. (Especially the puns on boffin and Yale!)

VANA: Aragorn's transport gains article for huntsman's wife.
ILMARIN: Sick soldier and sailor loses letters for the high hall.
LIMLIGHT: Flower in the spotlight loses direction.
YALE: Home of Ivy League boffins?
ARVERNIEN: Where the mariner tarried.


1. Informal home hesitates before example of a wise man disturbed for a rustic chap.
2. Crooked cross joins almost completed march in the Shire, to reveal a Calaquendë.
3. Approval heard in an ancient character reveals a flawed hero.
4. Escort through Lothlorien? Dial human resources initially, and mingle accordingly.
5. Braille letters in a reversed morning produce an Elf-Friend’s grandmother.
6. Alternatively one might find him in the Elder Edda.
7. A liquid enters a leisurely pursuit. A warrior is born.
