Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
1. Battles are now mostly internal. Except for this one.
2. It reeled, it belched; the Ring was squelched.
3. Describes the Third Age, by the final sentence.
4. As foretold, the crownless becomes it. But add a sleepy town and end up here? Sounds like it!
5. Wrecker, starting on igloo and/or its library? All very confused. Mentioned in lineage, to stake a claim.
IORHAEL: He goes where they might call him this? Perhaps unlikely, perhaps not – but an apocryphal letter will thus address his namesake.

Indeed. Although the remaining three go to Gondor and/or Rohan again in their lifetimes, (two of them to see out their final days), and probably get called Holdwine, Ernil i Pheriannath, etc.

'Perhaps unlikely, perhaps not' is because I wasn't sure if in Aman they would be more likely to speak Quenya and call him Daur.

I wonder how they knew the meanings and hence translations of Frodo and Samwise's names on the Field of Cormallen? Through Aragorn and Legolas, I suppose. They are hailed as 'Daur' and 'Berhael,' but not as their Sindarin names. Or hang on, is Berhael Sindarin? So why a Quenya name and a Sindarin one in the same sentence?

Huinesoron, I never thought of 'or hail!'
