Thank you for your answer and the link (wonder why it didn't come up in the search....) but I'm not questioning who was responsible for the Witch king's death. My question is a "what if" kind of thing.

Tthat thread contains a good deal about Glorfindel's prophecy and Merry's sword. It also touches on the subject if Merry was technically a "man" or a hobbit apart from a man.

What I want to know is this:

According to the prophecy, could a hobbit have killed the Witchking all by his lonesome?
