The Gaffer? I'm going to feel stupid if it's Bilbo/Frodo.

Why did not the Elves of Nargothrond not slay Beren
Why did not the Elves of Nargothrond not slay Beren
Because he was holding up the ring of Barahir. (Noldor are like ravens, they're both mesmerized by shiny things)
And their languages are both hard to comprehend: Men, Elves, and Hobbits can't make out Ravenish; while and Men, Dwarves, and Hobbits have a difficult time trying to understand Elvish.From whom did Beren take the knife Angrist
I think that was Curufin.
Yes it was Turin; you get the pretty bauble.

2nd guess: tyeple (Quenya)
That was correct in Quenya, but now try it in the more common Sindarin and think of: a mountain, a river, an absent wife, a craftsman, and a silver-haired Elven Lord; each of these names starts with this word.

Why was the Fellowship unable to pass the Redhorn Gate
Why was the Fellowship unable to pass the Redhorn Gate
