Good question! Bombur?

I almost hope I'm wrong, because we've been answering these so quickly. But I can't help but try.

It seems finding a real poser for you lot is going to be tough.

Well done.

It is hard to write a difficult question that is not so vague as to provoke a guessing-game!

Remember this one, giver of toothy adornment?

I am not sure what you mean by toothy really, but I have the feeling that you use toothy somewhat figuratively and that you then mean something bad or evil... maybe a wrong interpretation, but just a thought so far.

In that case I'll take Hurin as giver of the Nauglamir which caused the downfall of Doriath eventually.

If not that, perhaps Gollum giving "the marks of his teeth" to Aragorn?

Good answers, but both wrong. Although I like figurative language you'll find I didn't use it in this case.

Fram, then, who sent the Dwarves Scatha's teeth.
