Nevertheless, I always liked what happened to Scatha's teeth - also pretty cool story.
And speaking of Scáthatch, I started to wonder about the etymology of Scatha's name - is it possible that it had something to do with "Shadow", after all, too? Or did Tolkien say anything more? Was it supposed to reflect the language of the Éotheod, who were, after all, the ones who encountered him? Okay, I see I would be starting another thread again...
