Sorry about that, I knew I was vague. I meant:
Is its existance implied (for instance, we imagine that Eomer wore a hauberk, but no special mention of it is made...I think....)

Eye My friend is here with me making rather sarcastic comments. Ignore him.

Is it an object?

And the usual: If I dropped it on Nilpaurion Felagund's head, would it cause brain damage of any kind?
