Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
1 B Island has a point for grave inhabitant.

I really did think Wight was the one at first! Only grave inhabitants I can think of are barrow-wights and the Shades of Dunharrow. Unless it's something to do with he Halls of Mandos.

Well, first I tried all the islands I could find in Tolkien's world, because it seemed the most likely part to be the straight clue. Didn't find anything, so tried all the "real world" islands and anagrams of island with a view to "grave inhabitants" being the straight part.

Only other angles I can think of are the Mounds of Mundburg or the burial places in Rohan - or hobbits living in holes in the ground, which non-hobbit-folk might think are like graves.

Can't find angle for the "seriousness" meaning of grave.

Unless it's a serious inhabitant of Numenor.
