Mithalwen, how very clever of you!

Quote:

Galadriel Because I cannot choose, not because any one of them would be insufficient in the role, I must have "three graces": Bethberry, Child of the 7th Age and Estelyn Telcontar - wise and powerful women all.

One of us to spin the web, one of us to ply it out and one of us to cut it. And who among we three is a seamstress? And who a planer and who a spinner of gauzy threads?

I think you've just earned yourself some extra length.

I wish I were clever enough to answer this without double checking my classical mythology on Google! Well you have certainly put a darker "spin" on this than I intended. I had been thinking of Aglaia (splendour), Euphrosyne (Mirth) and Thalia (good cheer) rather than of Fates and Furies!

Extra lengthe? More rope to hang myself with?

Gil-galad ... I didn't want to typecast!

Folco: Zifnab. (You know what I mean...)

Merry & Pippin: oblo & burra. Seriously, who else?

Celeborn: Davem, Fordim, Child et al... or NN10, depending on how you read that one quote...

Glorfindel: Kkate. Glorious on the page, but you miss her on the screen.

Frodo: Mr Underhill. Don't you people read the books? That one's easy.

The Barrow-Wight: BW. As above.

Aragorn: Esty, in a world where the real warriors make quilts.

etc

Don't want the Norns becoming the norms, as it were.
