Noegyth Nibin: A Dwarvish people known for their particularly small stature. They were descended from exiles out of the east that had settled in the moorlands between the rivers Narog and Sirion, as well as the caverns where Nargothrond was later delved. Noegyth Nibin is a Sindarin name, also found in the related forms Nibin-Nogrim and Nibin-noeg, but most commonly seen in its translated form 'Petty-dwarves'. The Noegyth Nibin (pronounced, incidentally, approximately as 'noygooth neebeen') did not survive the First Age - the last of them, a Petty-dwarf known as Mîm, was slain by Húrin Thalion.

Overlithe- A special holiday in the Shire thought of as a leap-day. It occurred after Mid-year's Day (making it the 184th day of the year) every fourth year, except the last of the century. Like the Lithedays and Yuledays in the Shire, it belonged to no month (it was between Forelithe and Afterlithe) and was its own day of the week. It occured in 1420, the year of the great harvest. |

Rógin: Throughout The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien represents the true language of the Rohirrim with words derived from ancient English. An example of this is 'wose', a word for a wild man that derives from British myth, an anglicisation of the name used by the Rohirrim for the Drúedain who lived in the Drúadan Forest. The actual name for the Drúedain used in Rohan was rógin, and a single Wose would have been known there as a róg.
