Do I  list all 300-plus instances of “dwarf”?  My mind has changed – and hoping that this becomes a useful reference, I will.  I’ll go back and fix previous entries wherein I did not list every instance.  This word occurs as “dwarf”, “dwarf’s”, “dwarves”, “dwarves'”, and “dwarvish”.  I had the pleasure of running a little Lexos graph of the distribution of this word:

The peak passes 7 instances of “dwarf” per thousand words near the end of Chapter 8, and bottoms out at 0 in Chapter 5.

• 01.004 and smaller than the bearded Dwarves.
• 01.026 It was a dwarf
• 01.028 if an uninvited dwarf came
• 01.031 Instead there was a very old-looking dwarf
• 01.038 It was two more dwarves,
• 01.039 my dwarves?’ he said.
• 01.043 while the four dwarves sat round the table,
• 01.046 Another dwarf had come along
• 01.047 and the dwarves were starting
• 01.048 More dwarves,
• 01.050 Thorin indeed was very haughty,
• 01.056 called the other dwarves through the door.
• 01.059 Confusticate and bebother these dwarves!’
• 01.060 with the thirteen dwarves all round:
• 01.060 The dwarves ate
• 01.063 Thereupon the twelve dwarves –
• 01.063 But the dwarves only started to sing:
• 01.072 deep-throated singing of the dwarves
• 01.074 The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
• 01.081 The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.
• 01.083 the desire of the hearts of dwarves.
• 01.083 He thought of the jewels of the dwarves shining
• 01.083 until all the dwarves had gone away.
• 01.087 We like the dark,’ said all the dwarves.
• 01.090 Gandalf, dwarves and Mr. Baggins!
• 01.091 and perhaps to one or two of the younger dwarves
• 01.092 He was an important dwarf.
• 01.092 All the dwarves sprang up,
• 01.100 that the dwarf huddled back
• 01.102 in answer to the dwarves’ excited questions.
• 01.109 certainly not after devouring so many of the dwarves
• 01.111 That is the usual dwarves’ method –
• 01.123 and dwarves,
• 01.123 with the dwarves flying south or getting killed,
• 01.123 Some of the dwarves who happened to be outside
• 01.123 The dwarves rushed out of their great gate;
• 01.123 After that there were no dwarves left alive inside,
• 01.133 and all the dwarves shivered.
• 01.136 of all the dwarves put together,
• 02.026 he couldn’t be mistaken for a dwarf,
• 02.028 and then a dwarf or a farmer ambling by on business.
• 02.030 Still the dwarves jogged on,
• 02.034 Dwarves can make a fire almost anywhere out of almost anything,
• 02.042 at what he called “all this dwarvish racket,”
• 02.047 quite likely to try roasted dwarf,
• 02.072 The dwarves had heard noises from a distance,
• 02.072 Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves
• 02.073 but lots of these here dwarves.
• 02.075 As each dwarf came up
• 02.076 as dwarves will when cornered.
• 02.081 The trolls had just decided to roast the dwarves now
• 02.108 and let out the dwarves.
• 03.018 Dwarves don’t get on well with them.
• 03.018 Even decent enough dwarves like Thorin
• 03.026 But the dwarves were all for supper
• 03.033 as venerable as a king of dwarves,
• 03.037 since the dwarf
• 03.040 for if he did not altogether approve of dwarves
• 03.042 The dwarves invented them
• 03.045 “He was the father of the fathers of the eldest race of Dwarves,
• 03.047 “The first day of the dwarves’ New Year,”
• 04.001 The dwarves
• 04.003 Dwarves had not passed that way for many years,
• 04.008 and being the youngest of the dwarves by some fifty years
• 04.008 (or so Thorin said to the young dwarves)
• 04.016 There were six to each dwarf, at least,
• 04.017 and the dwarves were on the wrong side of it!
• 04.017 and the dwarves
• 04.022 and more than one of the dwarves were already yammering
• 04.023 when the dwarves
• 04.025 but the most skilled dwarves,
• 04.025 They did not hate dwarves especially,
• 04.025 in some parts wicked dwarves had even made alliances with them.
• 04.027 “Dwarves, and this!”
• 04.029 “Thorin the dwarf at your service!” he replied
• 04.043 – for dwarves can roll along at a tremendous pace,
• 04.044 Still goblins go faster than dwarves,
• 04.044 so that do what they could the dwarves heard the cries
• 04.049 By that time the dwarves had gone on again,
• 04.050 That is why neither Bilbo, nor the dwarves,
• 04.050 give out a faint light to help the dwarves
• 05.002 no sign of dwarves.
• 05.019 I have lost the dwarves
• 06.002 and the dwarves have got to?
• 06.006 Gandalf was arguing with the dwarves.
• 06.006 The dwarves were grumbling,
• 06.008 The dwarves wanted to know
• 06.014 with the dwarves after this.
• 06.023 The dwarves looked at him
• 06.025 for if Gandalf had explained it all by now to the dwarves,
• 06.026 at the top of the pass the dwarves had taken,
• 06.043 The dwarves (and Bilbo)
• 06.046 that he could hear the dwarves’ breathing
• 06.052 if you had seen the dwarves sitting up
• 06.061 and all the excitement caused by the dwarves
• 06.065 The dwarves and Bilbo
• 06.070 and cursing the dwarves
• 06.072 nearest to the trees where the dwarves were.
• 06.072 all round the dwarves,
• 06.078 So dwarves shall die,
• 06.082 and seized the dwarves,
• 06.094 for carrying the dwarves
• 06.095 but we will not risk ourselves for dwarves
• 06.099 and the figures of the dwarves round it cooking
• 06.099 The dwarves managed all the preparations.
• 06.099 (Dwarves have never taken to matches even yet.)
• 07.002 The dwarves were crying farewells
• 07.009 (made of the gold that the dwarves gave them)
• 07.012 The dwarves groaned
• 07.019 The dwarves all gathered round
• 07.024 Bilbo and the dwarves had now plenty
• 07.030 said the wizard to the dwarves;
• 07.052 they are dwarves!’
• 07.053 said the two dwarves bowing again.
• 07.054 I am not over fond of dwarves;
• 07.067 and the dwarves
• 07.082 and ten dwarves
• 07.088 and the story had kept him from sending the dwarves off
• 07.095 The dwarves listened
• 07.097 The dwarves were sitting cross-legged on the floor round the fire,
• 07.106 the dwarves
• 07.108 One of the dwarves had fallen over him
• 07.111 answered the other dwarves who were moving about the hall;
• 07.113 and the dwarves were having supper,
• 07.120 and while the dwarves were still singing songs he dropped asleep,
• 07.122 with Wargs for the dwarves,
• 07.122 might soon be made to find the dwarves,
• 07.123 I shall think more kindly of dwarves after this.
• 07.136 The dwarves were inclined to grumble at this,
• 07.136 in letting dwarves ride them so far
• 07.149 You have got to look after all these dwarves for me,’
• 07.154 grunted the dwarves,
• 08.004 Even the dwarves felt it,
• 08.029 It charged into the dwarves
• 08.033 three of the dwarves had leaped
• 08.033 in vain the dwarves shot their arrows after them.
• 08.034 the excited dwarves had wasted their last arrows,
• 08.042 He could hear the dwarves shouting up at him from far below,
• 08.043 but at length the cries of the dwarves,
• 08.068 as he lay down beside the dwarves
• 08.072 in the eyes of the dwarves,
• 08.076 of the wizard or the dwarves
• 08.078 in what direction he should go first to look for the dwarves.
• 08.081 They were talking about the dwarves!
• 08.088 to see a dwarvish foot sticking out
• 08.093 and they forgot the dwarves for a bit,
• 08.094 and further away from the dwarves,
• 08.094 and also to let the dwarves hear his voice.
• 08.104 and came back to their trees where the dwarves were hung.
• 08.105 Bilbo’s next job was to loose a dwarf.
• 08.105 the wretched dwarf would tumble
• 08.105 (which made all the poor dwarves dance
• 08.107 between them they started to haul up first one dwarf
• 08.108 But there were still five dwarves hanging at the end of the branch
• 08.111 the other dwarves were working at the rest of the captives,
• 08.113 he shouted to the dwarves on the branch.
• 08.113 and crawling along the boughs above the heads of the dwarves.
• 08.114 Down the dwarves scrambled or jumped or dropped,
• 08.115 Some of the dwarves had knives,
• 08.115 only four of the dwarves were able to stand firmly,
• 08.116 except to let the dwarves into the secret of his ring.
• 08.118 and to the great astonishment of the dwarves he vanished.
• 08.119 The dwarves huddled together
• 08.120 the dwarves went on.
• 08.124 The dwarves then noticed
• 08.129 twelve dwarves
• 08.130 All the noise of the dwarves lost
• 08.133 for they did not love dwarves,
• 08.133 in ancient days they had had wars with some of the dwarves,
• 08.133 It is only fair to say that the dwarves gave a different account,
• 08.133 All this was well known to every dwarf,
• 09.001 and the dwarves made one last despairing effort
• 09.001 and called the dwarves to halt.
• 09.002 Even if the dwarves had not been
• 09.002 when the elves bound the dwarves
• 09.003 Each dwarf was blindfold,
• 09.003 for the elves were making the dwarves go
• 09.007 he questioned the dwarves about their doings,
• 09.010 Then he ordered the dwarves each to be put
• 09.011 He did not wish to desert the dwarves,
• 09.013 he managed to find out where each dwarf was kept.
• 09.013 and to learn that there was another dwarf
• 09.013 and to have a word with the chief of the dwarves.
• 09.015 to each of the other imprisoned dwarves,
• 09.016 The other dwarves quite agreed
• 09.027 and locked it again carefully as soon as the dwarf was outside.
• 09.029 Drat this dwarvish racket!’
• 09.032 how the dwarves would take it.
• 09.038 with room enough for a dwarf
• 09.038 in the dwarves thought anxiously of the shaking
• 09.038 At last twelve dwarves were stowed.
• 09.050 some were tubs neatly packed with a dwarf each;
• 09.051 he had precious small chance of ever finding the dwarves again.
• 09.051 for he had not had time to tell the dwarves all that he had learned,
• 09.057 Bilbo wondered what the dwarves were feeling
• 09.057 and he guessed that these had dwarves inside.
• 09.058 to remember the dwarves.
• 09.062 Poor dwarves!
• 10.003 (to say nothing of the poor dwarves underneath him)
• 10.003 when dwarves dwelt
• 10.003 which the dwarves had followed
• 10.010 and out crept a most unhappy dwarf.
• 10.011 more than the dwarves,
• 10.012 about six dwarves that could answer.
• 10.013 (for dwarves)
• 10.018 and did not hear the noise of the unpacking of the dwarves
• 10.020 said the dwarf
• 10.031 wandering vagabond dwarves
• 10.037 Soon afterwards the other dwarves
• 10.037 or cheered if any dwarf showed so much as his nose.
• 10.038 and they did not particularly please the dwarves,
• 10.039 the dwarves’ good feeling towards the little hobbit
• 10.040 about keys or barrels while the dwarves stayed
• 10.040 in any case the king knew now the dwarves’ errand,
• 10.041 in dwarves fighting
• 10.043 that the dwarves would actually dare
• 10.043 and there is no knowing what a dwarf will not dare
• 10.045 dwarves,
• 11.013 It was he that made the dwarves begin the dangerous search
• 11.014 and the dwarves found traces of a narrow track,
• 11.017 to lower one of the more active dwarves,
• 11.021 The hobbit was no longer much brighter than the dwarves.
• 11.021 If the dwarves asked him what he was doing he answered:
• 11.027 the dwarves were on the rocks
• 11.028 Next day the dwarves all went wandering
• 11.031 and hailed the dwarves,
• 11.032 and the dwarves with wagging beards watching impatiently.
• 11.032 The dwarves groaned,
• 11.033 the dwarves rushed to the rock
• 12.001 For a long time the dwarves stood
• 12.006 for the dwarves is this:
• 12.006 dwarves are not heroes,
• 12.007 It was a passage made by dwarves,
• 12.012 or dungeon-hall of the ancient dwarves
• 12.015 and with the desire of dwarves;
• 12.018 and hardly noticing the excitement of the dwarves,
• 12.019 The dwarves were still passing the cup
• 12.020 Then the dwarves forgot their joy
• 12.022 The dwarves heard
• 12.033 the terror of the dwarves grew less.
• 12.036 the dwarves begged his pardon.
• 12.041 Naturally the dwarves accepted the offer eagerly.
• 12.060 don’t have more to do with dwarves than you can help!’
• 12.061 Dwarves!’
• 12.062 of dwarf –
• 12.069 had the dwarves forgotten this important point too,
• 12.071 in the tunnel the dwarves huddled together
• 12.081 The dwarves revived him,
• 12.086 cried the dwarves.
• 12.094 in earnest that the dwarves at last did as he said,
• 12.095 about the dwarves.
• 12.095 that the dwarves now were absolutely honest
• 12.096 which the dwarves had found
• 12.098 beyond the murmurs of the dwarves,
• 12.100 gave the dwarves an uncomfortable feeling.
• 13.001 the dwarves sat
• 13.002 So several of the dwarves got up
• 13.004 just when the dwarves were most despairing,
• 13.008 The dwarves could not,
• 13.015 The dwarves,
• 13.017 but he could not persuade the dwarves
• 13.019 and fashioned by the dwarves,
• 13.021 But I suppose I must tell the dwarves about it –
• 13.022 of the watching dwarves.
• 13.027 Faintly the dwarves heard his small cries,
• 13.032 had rekindled all the fire of their dwarvish hearts;
• 13.032 and when the heart of a dwarf,
• 13.033 The dwarves indeed no longer needed any urging.
• 13.034 But most of the dwarves were more practical:
• 13.035 Now the dwarves took down mail
• 13.039 than the dwarves did.
• 13.039 Long before the dwarves were tired
• 13.043 the dwarves went,
• 13.060 That idea disturbed the dwarves mightily,
• 14.001 like the dwarves,
• 14.016 about the dwarves.
• 14.034 were now heard as loudly crying that the dwarves
• 15.001 and the dwarves.
• 15.016 shouted the dwarves.
• 15.018 before Thorin could bring the dwarves
• 15.019 that their sorrows are due to the dwarves;
• 15.020 among dwarves
• 15.025 cried the dwarves as if they had not heard him;
• 15.026 you will see that the dwarves still had some days before them.
• 15.026 and at such work the dwarves were still very skilled.
• 15.031 That night the dwarves slept little.
• 15.034 Some of the younger dwarves were moved
• 15.035 Then the dwarves themselves
• 15.037 The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.
• 15.038 The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
• 15.049 nor with dwarvish hearts.
• 15.059 and the dwarves were left to consider their case.
• 16.001 Many of the dwarves spent their time piling
• 16.004 and more than five hundred dwarves,
• 16.007 and the dwarves kept only one watchman at a time.
• 16.010 grumbled the fat dwarf.
• 16.010 yet he was ever a dwarf with a stiff neck.’
• 16.021 Are you the dwarves’ hobbit?
• 16.029 and the dwarves of the Iron Hills?’
• 16.031 and has at least five hundred grim dwarves with him –
• 16.031 in the dreadful dwarf
• 16.039 and the dwarves can do what they like to me.
• 16.040 I have more knowledge of dwarves
• 16.047 without listening to the old dwarf’s thanks
• 17.003 the dwarves saw
• 17.018 I have been told that dwarves are sometimes politer
• 17.026 More than one of the dwarves
• 17.031 that a host of dwarves had appeared
• 17.031 The dwarves are exceedingly strong for their height,
• 17.031 but most of these were strong even for dwarves.
• 17.032 Before long the dwarves could be seen
• 17.034 refused to allow the dwarves
• 17.034 for the dwarves can carry very heavy burdens,
• 17.034 and by that time yet more dwarves might come,
• 17.035 for the dwarves of Dain were advancing
• 17.037 The dwarves cannot pass us,
• 17.038 But he reckoned without the dwarves.
• 17.041 between the advancing dwarves
• 17.042 The dwarves halted
• 17.044 and Dwarves.
• 17.044 for the dwarves
• 17.048 and dwarves.
• 17.051 the dwarves of the Iron Hills plunged in,
• 17.055 in the gloom the great dwarf gleamed like gold
• 17.058 rushed all the dwarves of Dain to his help.
• 17.059 and many dwarves,
• 18.003 Dwarves seemed to be busy removing the wall.
• 18.023 The dwarves were making a stand still
• 18.032 of the dwarves could not be taken
• 18.032 in time many other dwarves gathered to his throne
• 18.039 Then the dwarves bowed low before their Gate,
• 19.038 and had the honour of dwarves,
• 19.041 and a dwarf;
• 19.041 and the dwarf was actually Balin.
• 19.043 and dwarves
