Mim/Ibun, Sam/Elanor, Primula/Frodo.

Easy enough. ^_^

I'm guessing you wrote this before I put in my clarification (possibly it went up after you'd posted, though I didn't see your post when it went through). Hobbits and Petty-dwarves are genetically human and dwarvish, whatever they might think (and they're most definitely Rational Incarnates!).

Draugluin/Carcharoth, Galathilion/Celeborn, Celeborn/Nimloth.

(Oh, and also Ungoliant and Shelob, but they are more of an ancestor/descendant than parent/child)

How is that?

Perfect. I also had Lightfoot/Snowmane, and of course Melian/Luthien (only one of whom is an Incarnate - the Ainur don't count!). I'd completely missed Ungoliant/Shelob, who I think are mother and daughter, and only thought of Draugluin/Carcharoth after I'd posted.

I wanted to phrase the question more loosely, to allow Gwaihir & Landroval to appear as brothers, but that opened up the sibling ties amongst the Valar, so I didn't.

Back to you!

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.
