Ardent has just left Hobbiton.
  1. A term considered to remove a race from Disneyland.
  2. To stride Shire-ward when it's all over.
  3. Indefinite article, a zero, lingo for nothing.
  4. Regret is Sandyman's business and Haldir's sibling.
  5. Seek for the dale that was cloven. It's vulgar.
  6. He eats dirt, drinks deep, but should be glad to hear about
  7. Undomesticated timber devils.

3. Anorien.
4. Rumil.
5. Seek for the dale that was cloven. It's vulgar.
6. He eats dirt, drinks deep, but should be glad to hear about
7. Undomesticated timber devils.
