In summation: "Love to help you Frodo, but I have a boat to catch."

You did bring up an interesting point M-o'-W; the granting of the name "Elf Friend". I had considered it to be "merely" a password of sorts, something that might get Frodo into some really great "A List" Elven parties.

But your theory that it may be much more; not only a blessing conveying special status in the Elven world, but something that would bestow an actual "Elvish air" on the receiver, is worth thinking about. I had also never considered just who else bears the title "Elf Friend". Not many, apparently.

The power of the word, indeed!
