lathspell: thank you for clarifying that it was the elves, not Gandalf, who had called TB "fatherless." I would also like to clarify here that I, myself, did not say that Bombadil was the embodiment of Illuvatar: I merely pointed out that there has been widespread-speculation on the subject. Amarie: you can find discussion on this topic here, here, here, here and here, to name a few. (Oh dear, I hope you weren't being sarcastic -- I'm not! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) And Iarwain, thank you for pointing out that "Fangorn" is Elvish for "Treebeard." But it should be noted that Fangorn is also the name of the ancient forest, populated mainly by Huorns and a few Ents (mainly Treebeard, himself).
