Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
U: She’s only German around us, subjectively.
NIENOR: ... for mortal men, in trouble? Alternatively, for a woman.
TURIN: Shroud him.
I: He’s small fry between vowels and liquid.
MIRIEL: More citruslike, or a French sleuth? Confound her!
E: She rotates novel shelter.
LOTHO: Implement, aspirate, mingle for him!
YAVANNA'S TREES: Gleaming, resplendent things!
DERUFIN: He puts an impolite spin on a fish’s appendage.
E: Signal backwards? Tor splits apart and mingles a little before he appears.
A: She’s ruddy and healthy: yes, both - combined!
T: He stepped, mark! Confusticate it!
HUAN: Attila gives first to one of his own? Beast!
S: Sibilants swallow confectionery for him.

Well done, Huinesoron! (I can already hear you plotting your revenge for this one ).

You can have Yavanna's Trees (as Morgoth said to Shelob ...) ... it's not as if it's an official name for them. It was the only way I could get an untimely deceased being starting with Y.

Theoden is close, but I don't do 'nearly' clues. I always account for every single letter. (But in addition, the Tolkienien connotation of 'mark' (Mark) *might* just be an added fluke).

P.S. Poor Derufin! But to be honest, he really owes his place here to the BBC sung version of that Lament. 'Nor the tall bowmen, Derufin and Duilin' is an especially haunting line, melodically.
