Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
7 D Here is a dark dwelling for a mustelid.

Could this be DIMHOLT? "Dim" for dark, plus "holt," which apparently (following a Google definition search) means an otter's den.

I found this place completely by accident whilst (as Gollum might say) "sssearching for pathsssss" for clue 5 ... in a write-up on Tolkien Gateway about the Paths of the Dead.

Apart from things like the Spider Pass (which doesn't begin with R in any ME language AFAIK ) and roads through the Shire and to Bree etc, I could only think of Rath Dinen for named paths, although strictly speaking this is a street.

Hmmm ... wrath loses the direction W to give RATH, the elvish word for path/street, thus justifying "elf path," and Dinen is not part of the clue ... the answer is just the elvish word for path?

True. And Finrod was much nicer than Mercutio.
