It’s a lovely common word, 164 uses in The Hobbit, and used absolutely evenly in Chapter 8. It’s in the war chapters that the word is used fewer times, and I suspect that it’s still used proportionally to word count. When I have a moment to think a thought all the way through, this one might be well worth graphing to find a baseline, evenly distributed word.

We already have “Breakfast” – to break one’s fast – but here is one of the common-word components. Long, long ago, I thought that words were always funny or serious or highfalutin’, and I quickly abandoned that idea. Yet this morning I feel as though “Break” is much more mournful and high than it is not.

• 1.144 We must away, ere break of day,
• 1.145 It was long after the break of day,
• 2.031 The wind broke up the grey clouds,
• 3.007 to break the ground
• 4.002 and the silence seemed to dislike being broken
• 4.023 and packages lying broken open,
• 5.004 It was not broken,
• 6.083 in the air with his arms nearly breaking.
• 8.008 and fallen leaving only the broken posts near the bank.
• 9.056 but at last the jostling crowd began to break up
• 9.060 Before long the barrels broke free again
• 9.061 and broken reflections
• 10.002 filled with the waters of the river which broke up
• 11.004 and only broken
• 11.015 they spoke fragments of broken spells of opening,
• 11.019 broken by no bird or sound
• 11.019 and the steel heads broke or bent like lead.
• 12.091 He will break all this side of the Mountain to bits,
• 12.101 He was breaking rocks to pieces,

Check this out!! There is no instance of the word “older.” I know, right? We have “Elder“, but only a scant few times. There’s only one “oldest”, at 10.036. You’ll find the three instances of “Eldest” at the “Elder” page. How unexpected.

• 11.004 at the singing of old songs by the lake

We have many hyphenated compounds with Deep, and it occurs in the second dwarven song which I’m working on now, so here it is!

Look! Look at 2.012! How subtle. I never noticed that one. Wow!

“We have the honour to remain

Does it seem to you that Chapter 5 is coldest, Word Fans? It does to me, too. I searched for colds, coldly, colder and more; “cold” is the only form of the word in the work.

Thank you, Brenton Dickieson, for the kind shout-out on your C. S. Lewis-centered blog, a Pilgrim in Narnia. You have given me the fortitude I need – and the reassurance that this will be useful to someone! – to continue on to the next poem-song in The Hobbit.

While we have many “mountain-” hyphenated words in the concordance, the word “mountain” itself has had to wait until today for its turn. As you know, the beautiful landscape descriptions of Middle-earth are detailed and gorgeous; we have 243 mentions of the word.

Word Fans, do you see what I see in the Mirkwood chapters? We… may have another clue on “what makes Chapter 8 so strange?”
