Snaga means slave, and is used to refer to lesser orcs of Isengard and Mordor. Uruks especially use the phrase!

BTW, I thought about the maia answer, but I though maia would be something bigger like Balrogs!

Boldog was an orcish hróa inhabited by a corrupted Maiar. So yes, it's right, Perky.

Thorongil- 1
Firefoot- 1
Nilpaurion F - 1
Perky E- 1

5. How is that the goblins of the Misty Mts. in the Hobbit are able to recognize Orcrist and Glamdring, swords that were used in Gondolin more than six thousand years ago?

Firefoot · 08-23-2004, 08:48 PM

Because they had killed hundreds of Goblins in their time?

It's more of an answer about orcs rather than the swords.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-23-2004, 09:51 PM

Because some of the goblins were survivors from the said war - i.e., Gondolin against the goblins.

Something to do with them being corrupted Elves - thanks, HI, for the article!

Because they had heard tales from their forefathers of the mithyness of the swords
