I also thought about "bumping" this thread earlier, but decided that I should stick to only a few threads.

Bumping doesn't do the trick, you just need a fresh start:

So what do strawberries, Hobbits and the Eotheod have in common?

Since I couldn't think of any good answer in the last two days, I will post the first thing that occured to me when I saw this, but it is far from an actual answer.

The only thing I thought of is that they have something to do with straw, like straw-berries, or for the Eotheod, being called straw-heads. No idea what could it be with the hobbits, though.

I also thought it may have something to do with the year 1420 SR.

Any close, Miggy? Or, any hints?

Well interesting ideas, but as you would say in my place, it actually is something simple. But I'm sure you'll figure it out.

So as a hint, it has nothing to do with etymology or anything.

I really cannot think of any other hints which would help, but would not spoil it as well.

Okay, I have a question about the strawberries. Does this have to do with strawberries in general, or with some quality or aspect of them that is seen in Tolkien's works?

(Goodness, that does sound silly, phrased like that.

I was just wondering.)

But I'm rather clueless. The only thing that pops into my mind that they were all misused or misrepresented in the movies, but they have that in common with just about everything else.
