As an aside, these would have been great straight clues in the original password. Maybe "a Valie" is too straightforward, but 'a cave-hewing elf' narrows it down without actually specifying (Thingol or Maeglin, or at a pinch Legolas, could also qualify', and 'he represents a month' sounds really cryptic until you realise it's literal (if it is). Without the letters already in place, it would have been a challenge to figure out which name of Finrod was relevant - but that's challenge in a good, fun sense.
