Voralphion has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

The swords the hobbits had were not the size of daggers to full sized men, but were short swords just as sting was. The swords were probably about 50cm long, and would have originally been used as a secondary weapon.<BR>Also from earlier in the post<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I swear it should be Noldorin <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Noldorin is used for something made or belonging to the Noldor, Noldorim is used to describe a group of noldorian elves, eg The hobbits were given noldorin daggers, or these daggers belonged to warriors of the noldorim.<p>[ October 26, 2003: Message edited by: Voralphion ]
