What did the Lady Eowyn give Merry after the Funeral of King Theoden, where did that thing come from, what was engraved upon it and how many times did Merry use it?

Re: A Question about Merry

Oooo ... good one....
She gave him a horn from the horde of Scatha the Worm....
it had (what else) horses carved on it ... and I'd say he blew it at least a couple times (he did the Horncall of Buckland when they were in Bywater)... but I couldn't say the exact number of times he used it.

Re: A Question about Merry

Very good!
I Think he used it Two times ... the first when the hobbits started to &quot;wake up&quot; the shire and the other time he said to a chieftain of the ruffians &quot;keep your breath, i got a better one&quot; or sth like that
Your turn!

Re: A Question about Merry

Those are both correct. But the one I was looking for was Holdwine. My question wasn't worded well.

You ask one now, Balin.

Merry

Since no one seems to answer this one ill give away the answer:
merry saw bilbo disappearing when Lobelia and Otho approached him ...when they were gone, bilbo suddenly returned, and that made merry suspicious.

What were the barrows and why were there wights in them?

Re: Barrows

The Barrows where the graves of the ancient kings of the north and the wights where evil spirits(?) that had risen from the graves and now haunted them.

Re: Barrows

The wights were actually sent to the barrows by the Witch King of Angmar and were not the ghosts of the original people buried there.

But close enough!

Your turn!!

Re: Next one

Like Bilbo on the beginning of his journey There and Back Again, Frodo was in his 50th year. In fact, he turned 50 the day before he left Bag End.

Re: Burrahobbit ... your turn!!!

Am I right assuming that you came across this while analyzing Appendix F for the encyclopedia <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> ?

&quot;Hobbit&quot; was at first the name given to the Harfoots by the Fallohides and Stoors, deriving from holbytla, hole-builder - they loved holes and smials most of all.

Re: Strider

And to answer Sharku (I saw burrahobbit in the Subject line ... sorry ), yes <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
And Fallohides and Stoors was the answer I was looking for.

Re: The hobbit question

Oh, I´m awfully sorry, I forgot to ask the question in first place...

By whom, and why, was Fram of Rohan slain?

Re: The hobbit question

Fram, slayer of Scatha (one of only two dragons I can name), sent the teeth to be made by dwarves into a necklace. His request was cast in insulting terms and the dwarves slayed Fram to redeem their honor.
