9) Which members of Thorin's company were not Longbeards?

I believe Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. For Dwarves, that is... if you're being exceedingly exact, Bilbo and Gandalf weren't either [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Yes, it was the Dwarves that I was looking for, Sophia. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

'Dirnaith'= wedge shaped battle formation used by the Dunedain, [(quenya) Sandastan 'shield-barrier'].

2) What grew on Cerin Amroth?

A mallorn tree

A comprehensive list please. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Is that comprehensive enough? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

How old was Thorongil at the time of Gondor's defeat of the Corsairs?

I'll guess at 49, on the basis that it was the last act of his "great journeys and errantries", which concluded in 2980.

Yes, your guess would be correct.
