A forest of ancient trees set around Isengard after its capture by the Ents. The trees of the Watchwood stood throughout the valley of Nan Curunir, put in place to look for any sign of Saruman secretly escaping from his Tower. Treebeard boasted that even a squirrel could not enter the Watchwood without his knowledge, and that Saruman would remain trapped for many years.

Foster is no help, but Germany's Schneidewind comes to the rescue - with a very short entry:

"Forest of the Drúedain."

OK, I'll solve it: accordinng to Schneidewind, Germany's Foster, it means "first-received (conceived?)" and is a name of Fëanor.

Your turn, E~S.

A follower of Barahir, who remained faithful to his lord when Dorthonion was overrun by Morgoth in the Dagor Bragollach. Barahir and his last twelve companions were pursued by no less a hunter than Sauron, and at last their camp at Tarn Aeluin was betrayed. Nearly all of Barahir's band, including Dagnir and Barahir himself, were slain when the camp was attacked. Dagnir's name appears appears in the inscription of Túrin's grave-marker, where he is called 'Dagnir Glaurunga' or 'Bane of Glaurung'.

The Lord of the lands of Lossarnach, the region to the immediate southwest of Minas Tirith, who was famed for his enormous girth (he was referred to as Forlong the Fat). Though he was an old man at the time of the War of the Ring, he rode with two hundred of his men to the aid of the City of Gondor, and lost his life in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Since we've used already used places and such, the preamble in the first post probably should be revised.

The third child and second son of Elros Tar-Minyatur (and thus a nephew of Elrond), Manwendil was born just decades after the arrival of the Edain in their new realm of Númenor.

"Sheep-friend", what Hallacar called himself in his guise of a shepherd when wooing (ultimately successfully) Tar-Ancalimë, the first Ruling Queen and seventh ruler of Númenor, and daughter of Tar-Aldarion and Erendis.

The consort to Tar-Vanimeldë, the third Ruling Queen of Númenor. The Queen had little interest in the duties of her office, and during her reign Herucalmo effectively acted as her regent. On Tar-Vanimeldë's death, the Sceptre should have passed to her son Alcarin, but instead Herucalmo withheld it and claimed the Kingship for himself, taking the name Tar-Anducal. The island of Númenor fell under his doubtful rule for twenty years, until Herucalmo himself died, and Alcarin took his rightful place.
