Re: The Hobbit and LOTR Trivia

Just so this thread won't degenerate into limbo; I'll provide the answer here and ask Jes to assign a new question to someone as I am again leaving for a while.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> J.R.R. Tolkien HISTORY Vol. 12; THE MAKING OF APPENDIX A
'They are seldom named in genealogies. They join their husband's families. But if a son is seen to be 110 or so years younger than his father, this usually indicates an elder daughter.'<hr></blockquote>
Borin son of Nain II born 2450
Farin son of Borin born 2560

Farin in all probability has an elder (un-named) sister according to information from Tolkien, and the only known dwarf to fall under this criteria.
