Ten Things We Wonder About Gimli
(in no particular order)
10. Did the Dwarves really keep their own language mostly
secret, or was Prof. Tolkien just kind of stumped on how to make a good Dwarf
language work?

Fungus?

even survive the voyage?

lift that?

Smaug's wealth? And did this make him the equivalent of a high nobleman's son
in dwarf terms?

have any siblings?
4. Did he really expect to find any of his relatives still
alive in Moria? Or was it all a brave show?

come work on a Man's city?

Parth Galen?
