piosenniel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Tolkien uses the word, dwimmer-crafty in reference to Saruman -

In 'The Riders of Rohan', when Eomer is speaking alone to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, he tells them of Saruman's designs on Rohan and the difficulties of dealing with him:

Quote:
It is ill dealing with such a foe: he is a wizard both cunning and dwimmer-crafty, having many guises . . .
