You made me check about Arathorn I... didn't find it yet in the appendix - I'll look in PoME when I get home (if'n I remembers!). It seems I vaguely recall JRRT either having some indecision about his exact fate - or leaving unclear / contradictory notes - recounted in PoME... or is there a place I'm missing in the appendices?
Anyway - YES, Aragorn I was the one I was thinking of... Strider's namesake! Your go Dunedain! |

What is the name that Merry records as the word the King of Rohan used for the Hobbits and what is it's meaning?

Here's the riddle since you asked:
A remnant of an ancient race We are said to be. Folk call us strange and befriend us not, Yet aid we give to thee. For in our far-off land that lies beyond the mighty bay, We feed and shelter those poor souls Whose paths have gone astray. We run with bones upon our feet, On lands with little sod. Our wheel-less carts go to and fro Where strangers seldom trod. oops, I almost forgot to leave a new question... What was Gimli's war cry, and what did it mean?

Is it, "Khazad Aminu! Baruck Khazad!"
Meaning something like,"The axes of the dwarves are upon you!" ?? brownjenkins - you should take up the riddling thread too! Lots-o-fun! And Keith K is our "Resident Riddler"! |

Right, your go Valandil. As to the riddling thread, I haven't composed the next riddle yet, but I will take time out for one very soon.

Keith - I need to contribute some more riddles myself. No need for you to feel the burden of trying to be a one-man show!
My question: (see first if anyone can get it without looking it up) I am a King of Arthedain. My grandfather the King, and my father the King, were each killed in battle with Rhudaur and Angmar. On succeeding to the throne at a young age, I fought off our enemies with the help of our elven allies. Then I ruled in relative peace for 180 years. Who am I? |
