Balfrogs: wings or no wings? Discuss.

Easy, Winged but flightless.... shadow not being effective as an airfoil. Next!

Goldberry? I thought the name was Goldboru?
But yes, no wings on Goldberry. Hmm, I may have got my threads confused. Is Morris' Havelok canon? |

Balfrog, I at no time claimed that Tolkien always used inverted commas in one specific way (to express scepticism) and never in any other way (e.g. to single out or highlight text). Recall that the initial assumption, by yourself and Ms. Seth, was that he was, in the relevant passage, using them for emphasis. I'm simply arguing against that assumption.
