[The Saucepan Man]

1. Mordor’s tobacco enthusiast?

"Shag" is a kind of tobacco and I suppose "rat" might be another word for an enthusiast, producing Shagrat, an Orc of Mordor.

2. Rohan’s old one got confused, and became an enigma by another name.

Taking the "R" from Rohan and "a" (ie one) and mixing them with "old" gives Orald, another name for that well-known enigma, Tom Bombadil.

4. What will Man do subsequent to death - did even this one know the answer?

Mandos probably didn't know the answer, but he is to be found in "will Man do subsequent".

6. Even with his backward intelligence, he invented letters.

Another word for intelligence is "wit" which, when written backwards, is Tiw - another name for the Tengwar alphabet.

7. To answer your question, No, I hasn’t – the horse bore me aloft.

The question must be "Has you fell?" and the horse, Hasufel.
