BUNGO: Underground? Overground? Womble, that's he.
DAUR: Medical chap swallows half a Vala for him. GOLDILOCKS: Deity overlaps short palindrome girl to meet perturbed footwear? A bigger girl emerges. MERRY: Mouse changes heads to reveal him? NINNYHAMMER: Hard word. Starts with clear direction to a pub. But why, I say? To finish it off with a dwarvish tool. ADALGRIM'S AUNT: Palindrome girl leads the way to a teacup omen - he's there, but the whole answer is one of his female relatives. ELANOR: One solitary girl? It's revolutionary. PRIMROSE: Not poetry, but it contains edge - and then she appears. S His posterior leapfrogs and is disorientated, but meets a headless 80s singer. Nearly! Try another name for Sharkey.

Well, E does too, but since the arse is disorientated, it loses its E altogether. (Probably mid-jump). Then it meets [GARY N]UMAN. As the singer is headless, the N is lost. And over to Urwen.

Thank you, and here goes
1. Direction, that is. Harry's bestie runs back. She appears. 2. A girl and a boy form him. 3. A Teletubby followed by a strike, in confusion. It leads to her. 4. 'A hollow is irrelevant, shortly' says he 5. Endless pee? Put the first of tummy up front and assemble him. 6. Devoted to a certain Vala? That is he. 7. A novel sun god returns to her, mirrored 8. First three of a Vala meet circular one in German, all for her. 9. A Dwarvish weapon, a hard-shelled fruit and an Egyptian god mix up for him.

I think it's Nel------- .
Probably an elvish word meaning the three houses (of men) - or maybe the third house.

9. I can't find the whole of AXE in any male name, but there is AXANTOR, who seems to fit with the other answers.

Where's the fruit, though? There isn't even a U to make NUT, (which is also an Egyptian God-is that in the same clue?)

Okay, two left, and they should be Elrohir and Oromendil. So: #6: OROMENDIL literally means 'devoted to Orome'. So #4 ELROHIR? It's an anagram of 'HOLE IRR(elevant)'. With the password being... Neletonya? Probably Telerin-influenced Quenya for 'my three children', though I'm sure other translations are possible. hS

Thanks! So was it 'My three children', or was there a different meaning?
In this one the [numbers] indicate which letter you need. And two of the answers are in Elvish. 1. - An old man eats, hears an old thorn. [1] 2. - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3] 3. - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5] 4. - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4] 5. - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4] 6. - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2] 7. - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3] 8. - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1] hS

7. WATER
'O! Water Hot is a noble thing!' Oh! And WAT (TYLER) plus ER. Giving is a T, I do believe.

4. Is 4 something like BEDROCK, or just bed? I suppose Fred's wife is Wilma?
With the theme being something about songs and poems - elements or subjects within them, perhaps? 'Water hot' is one, and 'And then to bed!' is in another song. Maybe it's hobbit songs?

I suppose even elves need a word for when mortals have farted.

You know what - I thought 'elements,' but went looking for an elvish word with two W's in it.
(Facepalm).

I've checked the list of elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Ice, Electricity, Light and Darkness) but none of them have required letters in the required positions...
Am I missing something here?

Not related to the question, but where did you pull that list from? It's clearly modern, but other than 'not Pokemon' I can't really narrow it down. hS

2. GOLD: "Kick it in" = GOAL, "lose the first in third" = the A in third place, "but gain the fourth" = the fourth letter in the fourth place, "and Bilbo brings it home" = well, he does. Urwen, that was some brilliant passwording. And Hui, that is some creative password-setting! EDIT: I have a funny feeling 8 is SILVER, for the thirty silver pieces Barliman "donated" to the cause... But can't explain it.

Ear + th (thorn); 'old man eats' is Bombadil's words to Old Man Willow. (And this was one of the things you missed, Urwen - you listed Earth, which does have a letter in the right place!) Bingo.

I assume the forbidden tongue is either Quenya or Black speech.

... is correct! Ang[er] + a vowel, for the first half of 'Angamando' (Q. for Angband, "Iron Jail").
EARTH - An old man eats, hears an old thorn. [1] GOLD - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3] COPPER - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5] WILMA - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4] FIRE - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4] ANGA - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2] WATER - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3] SILVER - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1] A mix of chemical and classical elements from the books. I... am... not sure, in hindsight, why I didn't just use IRON for that last one, except that it would have made WILMA stand out even more. Over to URWEN, and well done all. hS

New one.
1. Something that knights say, England and a conjuction, all for her. 2. Air, right now. In disarray, she is there. 3. He is full of enthusiasm (Rearranged) 4. Returning direction and a male name lead to her. 5. Spanish article and pronoun form an Elven king. 6. In a mirror, things that go on and on reveal him. 7. God ran in circles. He appears. 8. Transition (movie-wise) an evil robot and a particle come together for him. 9. An ancient nomad tribe, sans direction, and a Norse God. For someone done in by a rock. 10. Confused ladies find a way, for her. 11. Maeglin loses a head, for him. 12. A preposition between a long and short direction. It's all in disarray, and backwards. For him. 13. Note a throne in disarray, for him. 14. An entrance, an article and a direction. All in the muddle. For a king. 15. Boaz's wife returns endlessly. Add a preposition for a tragic hero. 16. An element precedes muddled destruction, for him. Finding different ways to portray the same answer is fun.
