Regarding Tom Bombadil

Question 1: What name did the Dwarves give to Tom?

Question 2: Who was Tom's wife and who was her mother?
hunterkiller2001
1. Forn (Fron) something to that effect..

2. Wife was goldberry.. the river woman, i believe was her mother.. I believe that was said in the book of lost tales.. but i don't have a copy handy

Oh.. and it's commonly debated if goldberry is actually Yavanna.. may be worth mentioning.. But Tolkien never makes any direct claim that the two are the same.. (that i know of)

Daughter of the Nine Moons
1. Forn- correct
2. Goldberry/Riverwoman- correct

goldberry is actually Yavanna.. never heard of that, but it's interesting

Figure it out tongue.gif
hunterkiller2001
I'm going to take this from a logical end..

If it was the night before christmas in the US, It'd be december 25th in pakistan.

December 25th is a Pakistani national holiday celebrating the Anniversary of the birth of Quaid-i-Azam, who was the founder of pakistan.


damn if i know what Janiel is getting at here..

A1: Question was vague. His race was Istari, but he was one of the five Maiar. Word questions better next time. :S
A2: Curunír. Translates to "Man of Craft."
