I really have no clue regarding the B clue.
But TIB the cat is now official Pervinca-Canon, for your information.

Tib-canon accepted. It's a Khuzdul word meaning 'cat' (ultimately suspected to be of Elvish origin, as a corruption of 'Tevildo' via 'Tebi'). He's either
extremely long-lived, or people keep replacing him without Thorin noticing (shades of Esio Trot).

None o'them. You've forgotten a big, important B word.
"Bein sei (east)... and reverse it" is the cryptic clue; I think that's already clear, but just to put it up plain.
