Nope, not that. Okay, the riddle is intentionally somewhat "distanced", if I wanted to be more plain, the focus could have been as well just on the people whom Frodo and Nienor are related to, not on themselves. Maybe it is easier for you to find the answer if you first find something in common for these particular relatives of them, and then make a conclusion of what it meant for the "status" of Frodo and Nienor themselves.
