I suspect the remaining names are rare and we probably need to look in the indexes at the back of the HOME books.

Just realised I missed out 'our', but it would need the same -uo- that made 'you' so unlikely.
This is the first time I've wished I owned HoME XIII; a single index would be very helpful at this point.
If it's any help, the answers so far consist of 9 from the First Age, 3 from Numenor, 4 from the Third Age, and one (Lindo) who doesn't really fall into any of those. So probability suggests the last three are probably heavy on the First Age as well.
Urwen has said that 'E, A, R, and T' should be quite easy; that probably means the last R, and
might mean the E we have outstanding too. If so, that suggests that both the spice and 'archaic dirt' are fairly well-known words - though the answer to 'A' used 'mallei', so maybe not.
