I don't see who, other than Galadriel, the strong Elvish Queen can be. But I note that the straight clue seems to be a place.
OBEL HALAD, with the G of GALAD replaced by the German note H?
4. NUMENOR. Anagram of 'nun more' (muddled), and it was lost.
3. Don't know it yet, but pretty sure it's a woman's name ending in -IEL (confused 'lie'). (I started off with Portia, but no luck there.  )
Hang on ... is it BERUTHIEL?
BE is an order/instruction.
RUTH is mercy.
IEL is LIE (fib) confused. |
What are possible synonyms, I wonder? Ace? Fab? Or less 70's ones like 'awesomesauce' or 'totes amazeballs?'
...
1. Maybe the 'otherwise' synonym is OR, not else.
Now, let's see ... was there an 'orace?
2. Maybe the bloomer is a common garden flower growing by the grass border in Bilbo's garden? Nasturtium, for example? (Sam uses 'trimming the grass border' as a pretext for being found under the window by Gandalf).
