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.

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)

There the Light-elves (presumably Vanyar) and the Deep-elves (Noldor) and the Sea-elves (Teleri) went and lived for ages..."<hr></blockquote> - enep</p>

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

Nope
A hint - Pippin is ok, but a 'bane' is an object

Right. And in the LoTR palantiri are never (at least in the bulk of a text itself) called so, but always 'seeing-stones' shoot away, enep
