Talking of that song, is #9 Night of Naught, or, failing that, something to do with it?

Not a very confident guess, but perhaps Ring for 2?

Yes, essentially ... but can you give a namesake of it that demonstrates how it betrays?

"Precious"?
A long shot- could #7 be LAMPS OF THE VALAR?

I thought you might be referring to Gollum offering to swear "on the Precious" and Frodo replying that it was "treacherous".
What about "Isildur's Bane"? Oh, and another hint for the "Lalaith" one would be much appreciated.

Isildur's Bane: It betrays in the roundest manner. Silmarils: Narnian prince begins to reside in hobbit dwellings? Such a mingling! See them shine! 4.

Night of Naught: Day’s opposite becomes null, in song. 10. Happy days, and light ones. 10: I think 'Days of Bliss' might actually be another name for the answer I'm looking for, so you are very close. 6. There is something that Gandalf says will be their only reward if they quarrel.

"Years of the Trees", then?
By the way, the WW game has resumed- it's a Day phase.

Sorry for neglecting this in favour of WW, Pervinca. Is the answer "Miscellany?"

Is one matches? I think there is something about them preferring tinderboxes in the Hobbit? But then I thought I had posted this already (my puter sometimes eats posts)

Night of Naught: Day’s opposite becomes null, in song. Years of the Trees: Happy days, and light ones. Yes indeed! At one point in the story it says that Oin and Gloin have lost their tinder-boxes, (so incandescence clues for Gloin are doubly apt, although I didn't realise it at the time ![]() Doesn't seem to be a previous post, Mith (have checked again). But it doesn't matter now. ![]() Just two clues to go. I gave a big hint for the Lalaith one upthread, and for the other one, I would resort to song. ![]()
