... hang on. Adamanta and Isengrim are mother and son. Rose and Robin are, too.
FINDUILAS and MAEGLIN would fit for the last two clues, as mother of Faramir and son of Aredhel. But do they work with the actual clues?
-Duinhir, Duilin, and Derufin are three bowmen from the Blackroot Dale, with Duinhir being 'the tall'. Duilin fits in the middle of 'Finduilas', suitably spun around, and leaves us with F (for fast) + LAS (for lass) trapping him.
-Maeglin... is perfectly described by the clue. I can't see synonyms for 'feeble' or 'spirit' in there, so I'm going to tentatively peg this as a straight clue that sneakily looks cryptic.
