Another easy one.

Name Rodwen's uncles; both of them.

Easy: Finwë and Finwë.

Obviously neither of those are Finwë (father of Finwë, Finwë, and Finwë); I mean Finwë the father of seven lesser Finwës (from Third Finwë to Last Finwë), and Finwë the father of no Finwës at all (though he did wind up as two Finwës himself).

The Shibboleth of Feanor is great fun, but the House of Finwë naming conventions were daft as all get out.

So go on then: how many times does the name 'Finwë' appear in the family tree of House Finwë, assuming you give both Mother and Father-names of everyone in Quenya (where known)?

Eleven times?

Ooh, no, wait... technically, as the question was asked, this answer is correct.

Finwe Nolofinwe and Finwe Arafinwe added those extra Finwes themselves, so they're not in their Father-names. Well done.
