Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
VINGELOT: He who harbours this looks out in wonder. (The Shores Of Faery, Lost Tales II)
EVE: Does her bird sing as twilight approaches? (The Story Of Kullervo, Page 25)
ROAD: A steed with great stamina? Well, he unravels to reveal something else that just goes on and on. (FOTR & ROTK)
SLOE: Hobbits sound leisurely at this point, even without the help of this kind of gin? (Upon The Hearth, FOTR).
INK: It's in a simile for a dark and wet place. (The Mewlips)
FLINDING-GO-FUILIN: Sourcing with direction precedes an order to leave - sounds like kidding, though! Well, there he is. (The Lays Of Beleriand)
ILMARIN: Beach where a sick sailor doesn't hesitate, we hear. (I Sang of Leaves, FOTR)
COLD (WATER): We may be glad of this variety of clear liquid, but its brother is said to be nobler. (Water Hot, FOTR)
ALDER: One of a collection of soporific trees. (Lullaby, The Hobbit)
TINUVIEL: Goodbye to honeyed soil and a Yorkshire atmosphere, since she is gone too? (Farewell Sweet Earth And Northern Sky, The Silmarillion)
IMLADRIS: Goddess embraces mother's first boy here. (Seek for the Sword that was Broken, FOTR)
OLIPHAUNT: Gandalf 'expletifies' some of his cousins, for Bilbo has forgotten to dust the mantlepiece! (TTT)
NIGHT OF NAUGHT: Head-rhyme *and* pararhyme!? It's nasal! It's nocturnal! It’s nihilistic! (Earendil Was A Mariner, FOTR)
SPELLS: Too many beans at the Unexpected Party? Well, the dwarves made mighty ones, but not only their very pongy soundalikes! (Far Over The Misty Mountains Old, The Hobbit)

I wanted to include some of the rarer tomes and verses too.

About Vingelot: although Wingelot is the spelling in 'The Shores Of Faery' as it's printed in Lost Tales II, Vingelot does appear in footnotes as a variant.

Well done, thank you for your patience, and over, I think, to Huinesoron!
