I think I remember the Rohirrim stating that the Halflings have voices like birds, but I can't be as certain as the first one.
While Trolls did come from Eastern lands, I do not believe that it was specified as to where exactly they originated. This makes the second option suspect. In my reading, I have not come across any reference to Trolls in the Ironwood. Trolls came from Mordor, and dark lands, but moved West to Eriador some time during the Second Age, perhaps earlier. Native trolls are a very uncommon thing to find in Eriador. I'm calling this the lie.

You are right. I was hoping that the Edda talking about the Trolls living in the Ironwood in the east of Midgard would confuse people.
The Easterlings calling the E;ves withe-fiends is from the Tale of the Children of Hurin, Eomer says that all the Rohirrim know of Hobbits is that they live far away and have voices like birds.
Your turn.
