Thanks Voronwe and H-I - Ok...Keeping with the Hobbit-y theme, who was the first Thain of the Shire and how long did his family/line hold that title for?

HerenIstarion · 01-23-2001, 11:26 AM

it was Bucca of the Marish, of whom Oldbucks claimed descent. As for how long, I don't remember exactly, but apparently until Oldbucks crossed Baranduin and changed their name to Brandybucks, and thainship came to Tooks.

Whoops

Actually I wasn't looking for a year or event; rather that they held the title for 10 generations, (which was not clear when I asked so admittedly I phrased the question wrongly.) <img src=smile.gif ALT="

In the Hobbit, how are called Vanyar, Noldor and Teleri?

Well,

I'm not exactly sure, but Elrond does say when asked about Glamdring and Orcrist that these are "old swords of the High Elves of the West..." And the remaining Silvan Teleri Elves would be plain Wood Elves?

</p>

HerenIstarion · 01-27-2001, 04:47 AM

Well, that is correct so far, but I need three kindreds of high elves. As a hint - they are called so not by any character, but by a narrator (i e Tolkien himself)

Found It

Ok, I think I have it now...It's after the spider part, where Tolkien says:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> "The feasting people were Wood-elves, of course...They differed from the High Elves of the West...for most of them were descended from the ancient triebes that never went to Faerie in the West. There the Light-elves (presumably Vanyar) and the Deep-elves (Noldor) and the Sea-elves (Teleri) went and lived for ages..."<hr></blockquote>

These items are in LoTR always called by their 'translated' name, though their proper name is known as well. One of them nearly became 'bane' for one of the banakil. Give me both names

Double Trouble

Hmm...I think I get what you're saying, but...you want both names of an object that was nearly the 'bane' of one of the halflings? I can only think of one instance though, and it doesn't really fit...Pippin getting crushed by a Troll/Olog Hai. Hmm.

Entymology

Hmm...I don't know exactly, and I looked it up but couldn't get an exact answer. The only lead I got was that it is a derivative from the old english word fealuhaer, meaning 'yellow haired.' Apart from that I don't know. :rollyeyes

HerenIstarion · 02-14-2001, 10:53 AM

Quote:

JRRT, Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings

Fallohide. This has given difficulty. It should if possible be translated, since it is meant to represent a name with a meaning in the Common Speech, though one devised in the past and so containing archaic elements. It is made of English fallow + hide (cognates of German falb and Haut) and means 'Paleskin'. It is archaic, since fallow 'pale, yellowish' is not now in use, except in fallow deer, and hide is no longer applied to human skin (except as a transference back from its use of animal hides, used for leather). But this element of archaism need not be imitated. See III 414 on the relation of special hobbit words to the language of Rohan.

ok, here is the next one:

According to Gandalf (who was quoting another lore-master of yore) what was brought to middle-earth by the Sea-kings?
