- 16.002 and I will be avenged
Avalanche
- 12.101 and an avalanche of splintered stones fell
Autumn-like

OED gives us neither “autumn-like” nor “autumnlike”, so I will call this a JRRT original. Now, it may not be original to him at all, but a word that he saw in someone else’s uncommon text. We tag it thus to bring it into the light of examination.
Audacious
- 01.090 and audacious hobbit –
- 01.090 at being called audacious
Ash
- 08.072 Ashes
- 19.014 Hush! Hush! Oak, Ash, Thorn!
Arrow-storm
- 14.014 straight through the arrow-storm,
A JRRT original word – it is not found in OED as one word, one hyphenated word, or as a two-word word (as “apple tart” is).
Armpits
- 08.106 under his armpits,
Arm-chair
- 18.054 in my own arm-chair!’ he said.
The hyphen is not present in OED variant spellings, but it is in the examples.

- 16.002 For the Arkenstone of my father,’
- 16.007 and also the Arkenstone wrapped
- 16.035 and he drew forth the Arkenstone,
- 16.037 This is the Arkenstone of Thrain,’
- 17.008 What of the Arkenstone of Thrain?’
- 17.019 that I could not forbear to redeem the Arkenstone,

- 18.030 and Bard laid the Arkenstone upon his breast.
- 18.033 and he has now the Arkenstone
