Hesitation = Um

Um + (E)arth = Umarth

It is, and if memory serves it's all Pervinca's fault.

Pervinca - you are brilliant. I couldn't figure out to do with the letters. But it's ENEMY - N. M. I. (well... it's eeeee if you say it in French...)
Correct, #8 is DARK NMI.

"Prints of the Halflings", but in Elvish.

So after all that, let's see what we got!

BELEG - Speaker of a spell: "Become a limb!"
OUTLAWS - The opposites of your wife's parents are wicked.
UMARTH - A son named his father, but hesitated at the beginning of the world.
NOM - A tasty king.
5. D - Sounds grim, heir to the house.
ANNATAR - Before the road, a woman can go back and forth and seem fair.
NELYAFINWE - A confused alien with a Greek eye, and the first High King? I'm seeing red.
DARK ENEMY - In the shadows, hear me initially name my ideas for a villain.
GOLLUM - Muffin lost his tail, found a big stick, turned around and went down into a cave.
10. A - Link up and profit in a break in the sun.
11. G - A cat in eyeshadow definitely can't fly, but...
12. G - The wretched band with an icy world covered in glitter.
ERNIL I PHERIANNATH - The Elvish fingermarks left by the childlike, or close enough for the youngest.
14. D - Take a note at the top of the park, direct to the start of the word, and hide from him.

All answers come in pairs; I'll dig out the quotes when we finish, but:

Beleg - Outlaws
Umarth (Hurin) - ???
Nom (nomnom) - Annatar (Thu/Gorthaur/Sauron)
Nelyafinwe (Maedhros) - Dark Enemy (Morgoth)
Gollum - ???
Ernil i Pheriannath (Pippin) - ???
??? - ???
