Ah, I thought it might be the indefinite article backwards, but looked this up and apparently Elvish doesn't have the indefinite article. (So I learned something! Not sure if this is all Elvish languages, or just one/some, though). Then I thought it might be 'back' in Elvish, but didn't have time to look properly. But kicking myself that I didn't think of 'echo' - I was thinking of words like 'redo.'

Have a go at this one. I will give clues as and when requested, or if people get stuck.

Actually, I'll give one clue straight away and say that this particular puzzle has a lot of hobbits in it.

1. Rearrange graphite for a thain’s bride – and she’s one of these!
2. Harsh metal, poetically, forms him.
3. Add liquid to fruit for her.
4. Regal dwelling loses this French racket for him.
5. Whisky-based tipple is heard to suffer ovine extraction, but through turmoil finds direction for him.
6. A ghazal would do this here.

P.S. Welcome back, Urwen and Ivriniel.
