Is 1 DWARROWDELF? Tolkien's preferred plural for dwarf (in English) was the archaic dwarrows/dwerrows (which I think he wrote ought to have existed, or something), and Moria was the black chasm.

Them elves and their decadent ways. Drinking at all hours.
I guess there are two letters after V.

Is it ------------ Caves?
Glittering Caves, perhaps, but how are they belted and counted?

Then I will leave it to others.
Btw, a bit of self promotion, but no guesses for my riddle? It's easy......

I guess it must be the Thousand Caves? Regarding 'belted' ... they are also called Menegroth. Is 'Mene' belt, since I think 'Menelwhatsisface' is Orion, the constellation with the shining belt?
... No Angband or Utumno, then?

True ... I then remembered 'O menel aglar elenath' and realised that I was talking pants.
 Another interesting password, so this one might disappoint. However, if the theme is still unguessed at the end *and* I can work out the answer to Huinesoron's 'One Thing In Common' question, (highly unlikely!), I might drop the answers in there as well. As far as I am aware, and with one caveat that I will explain, I think these are the only examples pertaining to this theme. Here we go, then: 1. French valley lingerie? No way! Mix it up for him. 2. A handle and the French one are in turmoil for her. 3. After an awful, unsung muddle, forty-nine with reveal her. 4. She sounds like a silly one, the Spanish girl. 5. Spouse around a way for him. By the way, in my clues, from now on, sing/sang/sung can mean a note, and unsung/unsing can mean take a note away.

Nope.
I'd be pretty annoyed if someone used my ears as handles!

Well, ear is a synonym for handle.

You didn't.
You may, however, have *deduced* it.

???T???: French valley lingerie? No way! Mix it up for him.
???U???: A handle and the French one are in turmoil for her. ???R???: After an awful, unsung muddle, forty-nine will reveal her. NINIEL: She sounds like a silly one, the Spanish girl. FINWE: Spouse around a way for him. It's Turin. I just forgot to put the password letters in. Whoops! A typo in the R clue. Now fixed.

Well, if the theme is husband and wife, then Miriel must be an answer to 3.....

Then the theme is not husband and wife? I am confused here. There are only two relationships between Turin and Niniel: husband and wife, or brother and sister. But Finwe has no sister, thus it must be husband and wife. And only one of Finwe's wives contains R, and it's Miriel.
