After

It’s a preposition and I don’t feel obligated to document it, since Richard Blackwelder did not in the original research which I’m following, but it’s a lovely snowy Monday and so I felt up to it. Almost two hundred uses, which seems low for such a useful word. We already have After-Supper (which I thought was a JRRT word in translation from Westron, but OED corrects me) and Afterthought.

• 1.004 (especially after dinner,
• 1.005 after she became Mrs. Bungo Baggins.

• 1.063 while the hobbit ran after them almost squeaking with fright:
• 1.095 After a while
• 1.103 said Thorin disappointedly after a glance.
• 1.109 certainly not after devouring so many of the dwarves

• 1.142 After all the others had ordered their breakfasts
• 1.145 It was long after the break of day,
• 2.001 Indeed he was really relieved after all
• 2.024 I didn’t get your note until after 10.45 to be precise.”
• 2.027 So after that the party went along very merrily,
• 2.027 but still he began to feel that adventures were not so bad after all.
• 2.029 It was after tea-time;
• 2.038 “After all there are fourteen of us.”
• 2.039 “After all we have got a burglar with us,” they said;
• 2.047 After hearing all this
• 2.072 and after waiting for some time for Bilbo to come back,
• 2.081 and after a lot of argument they had all agreed to it.
• 2.117 After that they slept,
• 3.001 nor the day after.
• 4.002 Long days after they had climbed
• 4.003 after the battle of the Mines of Moria.
• 4.008 but it is not always quite the something you were after.
• 4.014 that they had brought little Bilbo with them, after all.
• 4.048 knocking over those that were running after them.
• 5.004 After some time he felt for his pipe.
• 5.008 and after all if their holes are nice cheery places
• 5.038 It comes first and follows after,
• 5.042 After some while Bilbo became impatient.
• 5.044 after giving him a long chance,
• 5.048 After a while Gollum began to hiss
• 5.054 and after that the rest was easy.
• 5.077 And after all that last question had not been a genuine riddle
• 5.098 After all,
• 5.111 after all these ages
• 5.112 After a while Gollum stopped weeping
• 5.119 Bilbo hurried after him,
• 5.126 Gollum had brought Bilbo to the way out after all,
• 5.134 and after a while it climbed steeply.
• 5.135 after all that time
• 5.149 Of course they soon came down after him,

• 7.095 and that after the mountains
• 7.115 and none till after supper!
• 7.116 popping out into the air one after another,
• 7.123 I shall think more kindly of dwarves after this.
• 7.129 Soon after midday they ate with Beorn for the last time,
• 7.129 and after the meal they mounted the steeds he was lending them,

• 7.136 if you have not seen each night after dark a great bear going along with us
• 7.140 I will look after that.
• 7.142 This is your expedition after all.
• 7.145 and shambled off quickly after them.
• 7.146 He had gone just inside the forest after breakfast
• 7.149 You have got to look after all these dwarves for me,’
• 8.004 long after they were sick for a sight of the sun
• 8.020 and after a while Bilbo said:
• 8.022 It was tied after all,’
• 8.024 After that Kili and Oin and Gloin and Dori;
• 8.033 and in vain the dwarves shot their arrows after them.
• 8.041 after a dreadful struggle

• 8.058 After a good deal of creeping
• 8.059 After blundering frantically

• 8.078 After that he set out to explore.
• 8.087 after a bee-autiful sleep.
• 8.093 After that there was a deal of commotion
• 8.094 and bring them all after him,
• 8.098 in the place came after him:
• 8.103 after the hobbit
• 8.111 though it was not clear what would happen after that.
• 8.125 But after a time the light began to fail,
• 8.125 about himself after all,
• 8.126 and after a while they all fell silent again.
• 8.126 Long after the others had stopped talking
• 8.131 and after the coming of Men they took ever more
• 8.145 and after he had got over his thankfulness for bread
• 9.001 The day after the battle with the spiders
• 9.009 After all the disturbance you have made
• 9.012 day after day,’
• 9.013 after a week or two of this sneaking sort of life,
• 9.013 and after a time he got to know his way about very well.
• 9.013 and after a while he found that his guess was right.
• 9.013 At last after many difficulties he managed to find the place
• 9.030 At last after much blundering
• 9.031 whatever happens after this.
• 9.039 Only a minute or two after Balin’s lid had been fitted on
• 9.050 one after another,
• 10.001 After a while the river rounded a steep shoulder of land
• 10.005 After a while, however,
• 10.010 after they had gone
• 10.011 it’s yours after all
• 10.012 so after a few more groans he got up
• 10.027 after our long road
• 10.039 and even after that his speeches at banquets were limited to
• 10.043 after all really a descendant
• 11.006 after winding a wide loop over the valley of Dale,
• 11.025 And winter comes after autumn,’ said Bifur.
• 11.026 And next year after that,’ said Dwalin,
• 12.008 After a while Balin bade Bilbo ‘Good luck!’
• 12.012 At any rate after a short halt go on he did;
• 12.020 especially after long possession;
• 12.036 After that of course
• 12.078 After he had seen that
• 12.078 after a long start.
• 12.079 for the dragon spouted terrific flames after him,
• 12.085 if that is what he is after,’
• 12.093 and now perhaps because he is waiting till after tonight’s hunt,
• 12.095 about what would happen after the treasure had been won.
• 12.103 After he had let off his rage
• 13.001 At last after days
• 13.017 After a while
• 13.051 After their long time
• 13.064 After going a short way they struck the old road,
• 13.065 After that they went on again;
• 14.036 though after a while I may think again of your words
• 14.039 that now hurried after autumn,
• 14.039 although it was then only the third day after the fall of Smaug.
• 14.042 Only five days after the death of the dragon
• 14.043 for ever after they had a dread of the water
• 15.009 they were calling after us.
• 15.020 after the long desolation;
• 15.033 and the others after gazing for a while at the Gate
• 16.012 and for a soft bed after a good supper!’
• 16.017 and the road after a while,
• 16.021 they asked one after another.
• 16.025 that some two hours after his escape from the Gate,
• 16.041 after all we have gone through together.
• 17.022 That shall follow after,
• 17.035 so after angry words the dwarf-messengers retired
• 17.044 and they hastened night after night through the mountains,
• 17.061 after all one has gone through.
• 17.064 line after line,
• 18.003 After a while as his head cleared a little,
• 18.004 Victory after all,
• 18.008 This invisibility has its drawbacks after all.
• 18.014 Alive after all –
• 18.021 All that had happened after he was stunned,
• 18.031 May it bring good fortune to all his folk that dwell here after!’
• 18.042 and their hearts looked forward after winter to a spring of joy.
• 18.054 So comes snow after fire,
• 19.008 or for many after.’
• 19.018 After a week,
• 19.027 After that their going was slower,
• 19.037 and they were not on friendly terms with Bilbo ever after.
• 19.038 It is true that for ever after he remained an elf-friend,
• 19.039 was ever after more musical than it had been
• 19.046 after a fashion!’
• 19.047 in a wide world after all!’

Follow

Apparently the merging of Old English folgian and fylgan, which is just fine because each of those came from the same root in Germanic, rather like one person splitting into two ghosts upon death, neither of whom can resolve until they re-merge. I have no idea where that notion came from, but believe me, it’s going right into my current story.

“Follow, V.” Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford UP, December 2024, https://doi.org/10.1093/OED/3260024005.

• 1.028 When the silence that followed had become uncomfortable,
• 2.111 They followed the tracks up the hill,
• 3.009 Altogether it was a very slow business following the track,
• 3.010 and they followed his lead,
• 3.050 and with a knowledge of the road they must follow
• 4.036 that followed were beyond description.
• 4.038 Follow me quick! said a voice fierce
• 4.044 in the tunnel they were following;
• 5.038 “
It comes first and follows after, “
• 5.108 then very cautiously he followed.
• 5.108 Perhaps if he followed him,
• 6.012 You shouted ‘follow me everybody!’
• 6.012 and everybody ought to have followed.
• 6.020 Then I followed him,
• 6.028 He followed after the drivers
• 6.067 at either hand leaped up to follow him.
• 7.012 which we should have been following,
• 7.045 Following him they found themselves
• 7.075 I followed down into the main hall,
• 7.087 and followed immediately after the other two.
• 7.117 I followed these as far as the Carrock.
• 7.117 By that time it was too late for me to follow them far.
• 7.125 and they followed round the house.
• 7.130 Had they followed the pass,
• 8.007 as days followed days,
• 8.029 was getting ready to follow,
• 8.035 in the following days.
• 8.103 They followed him
• 8.123 and followed them no more,
• 9.013 and following the guards
• 9.025 He followed the two elves,
• 9.028 You just follow me!
• 9.029 until his following had grown to twelve –
• 9.035 So following the hobbit,
• 9.053 “
Follow, follow stars that leap “
• 9.053 “
Follow, follow stars that leap “
• 10.003 which the dwarves had followed
• 10.028 Follow me then,’
• 11.008 They did not dare to follow the river
• 11.012 followed ever by croaking crows above them,
• 11.014 Following these excitedly he
• 13.047 Let us follow it!’
• 13.063 Let us follow Balin’s path!’
• 14.036 and go North with any that will follow me.’
• 14.038 and in the days that followed
• 15.005 but I cannot follow the speech of such birds,
• 15.033 and its defences soon followed them.
• 17.022 That shall follow after,
• 17.055 and his companions followed him.

Fill

A Germanic word (to no one’s amazement), the adjective full came first back in the Old Germanic days, and thus fill: to make full.

• 1.001 filled with the ends of worms
• 1.010 and have a fill of mine!
• 1.036 to the cellar to fill a pint beer-mug,
• 1.072 The dark filled all the room,
• 1.142 and filled all his spare-rooms
• 3.034 Their bags were filled with food
• 4.004 and the darkness is filled with overwhelming noise
• 5.038 And empty holes it fills.
• 5.130 filled with hatred
• 6.065 and the commotion they made filled all the forest.
• 6.069 was filled with curiosity
• 7.031 and out filled all the air.
• 7.045 and filled with the light of the westering sun which slanted into it,
• 7.096 with their wooden drinking-bowls filled with mead.
• 7.143 but to fill their water-skins
• 7.154 because they were really filled with dismay
• 8.008 and filled some of their emptied skins at its bank.
• 8.036 was a poor exchange for packs filled with food however heavy.
• 8.039 filled almost entirely with a mighty growth of oaks.
• 8.071 and their songs were filled with mirth.
• 8.072 and the wood was filled again with their clamour
• 9.005 and filled with a cleaner air.
• 9.053 Where the berry swells and fills
• 10.002 filled with the waters of the river which broke up
• 10.006 filled with deep waters
• 10.007 and some were filled with gold
• 10.008 and all that land would be filled with new song
• 10.009 and others they would fill with goods
• 10.028 looking at long tables filled with folk.
• 11.011 all the halls within must be filled with his foul reek.’
• 12.014 and vessels filled with a wealth that could not be guessed.
• 12.015 His heart was filled
• 13.034 The dark hall was filled with a melody
• 14.011 in the town was filled with water,
• 14.035 and filled with golden bells,
• 14.040 The air was filled with circling flocks,
• 16.036 It was as if a globe had been filled with moonlight
• 17.046 and filling them with dread.
• 18.018 Bilbo knelt on one knee filled with sorrow.
• 18.037 one filled with silver,
• 19.043 and the desolation was now filled

Hole

Surprisingly few instances of the word hole, a Germanic word related to hollow. (“Hole, N.” Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford UP, December 2024, https://doi.org/10.1093/OED/7802432469.)

Yet, we already have Air-hole: click for a brief discussion of its hyphennatedness or not.

And Hobbit-hole: naturally a JRRT-invented word, complete with hyphen in its translation from Westron, therefore its own separate word.

And Key-hole: click for discussion of its hyphen. Do you see what I see? Did JRRT indeed use keyhole and key-hole as separate words? If you write the paper, send me the link!

There’s Porthole: not hyphenated.

And Rabbit-hole: hyphenated or not, click for discussion and reference.

And finally Smoke-hole, hyphenated just so in OED.

So, were air-hole and key-hole and rabbit-hole hyphenated in The Hobbit to evoke earlier spellings, earlier times? or to indicate translation artifacts?

• 1.001 In a hole
• 1.001 Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole,
• 1.001 nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole
• 1.109 but Smaug could not creep into a hole that size,
• 1.110 It seems a great big hole to me,’
• 2.029 in my nice hole by the fire,
• 2.110 that the trolls must have a cave or a hole
• 4.034 Take them away to dark holes full of snakes,
• 4.036 The sparks were burning holes
• 5.004 would have brought on him out of dark holes
• 5.008 and after all if their holes are nice cheery places
• 5.022 in their holes
• 5.036 in a hole
• 5.038 And empty holes it fills.
• 5.087 in a hole
• 6.050 near Mr. Baggins’ hole at home,
• 6.053 like a rabbit that has lost its hole
• 6.100 in his own little hole at home.
• 7.045 and the hole above it,
• 7.116 and setting them at last chasing one another out of the hole
• 8.001 Soon the light at the gate was like a little bright hole far behind,
• 8.004 who liked holes to make a house
• 9.038 to close holes
• 9.049 roll-roll-rolling down the hole!
• 11.032 A hole appeared suddenly about three feet from the ground.
• 11.037 He put it to the hole.
• 11.038 from the hole
• 12.020 Could there be a draught from that little hole?
• 12.021 in vain at the little hole,
• 13.056 timeless hole?’
• 13.058 Don’t call my palace a nasty hole!
• 15.028 There were holes
• 18.051 and hidden in the deepest holes they could find;

Empty

Look at the distribution of this one! Definitely something going on! Digital humanities students, there is definitely something going on here: I wanna see your paper.

• 5.038 And empty holes it fills.
• 6.035 His stomach felt all empty
• 6.046 and my stomach is wagging like an empty sack.’
• 8.008 and filled some of their emptied skins at its bank.
• 8.050 but to tighten the belts round their empty stomachs,
• 8.050 and hoist their empty sacks
• 8.076 in spite of an empty stomach,
• 9.020 When the barrels were empty
• 9.023 clearing the cellars of the empty wood,
• 9.037 get the empty barrels
• 9.046 instead of the empty ones,
• 9.050 Some were barrels really empty,
• 9.055 It was really empty,
• 9.066 some of these are never empty.
• 11.002 and empty.
• 13.064 and the emptiness

Smell

A subtle sense but a common word. And we all know what “an oozy smell” smells like!

• 1.001 and an oozy smell,
• 2.043 There was a fine toothsome smell.
• 2.113 and a nasty smell was
• 2.116 “Let’s get out of this horrible smell!” said Fili.

• 12.103 I don’t know your smell,
• 13.044 and the air smelt sweeter.
• 18.021 and at length smelling battle from afar

Feel

Well goodness. About a hundred and twenty uses of feel including felt which is definitely not used in the sense of a type of cloth, I did check. Definitely of Germanic roots, related to fumble, and — how cool is this? — to the Gothic word for astonished. There’s a possible relation to the Latin word pollex meaning thumb.

18.048 I mean even a burglar has his feelings.

• 1.009 or that you feel good this morning;
• 1.058 who was feeling positively flummoxed,
• 1.083 the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things
• 1.092 he began to feel a shriek coming up inside,
• 1.096 He suddenly felt he would
• 1.119 feeling all confused
• 1.131 and Bilbo felt he would have liked to say the same.
• 2.001 and yet in a way he could not help feeling
• 2.001 The feeling surprised him.
• 2.027 but still he began to feel that adventures were not so bad after all.
• 2.116 By that time they felt like breakfast,
• 2.126 “I immediately had a feeling
• 3.001 They had begun to feel that danger was
• 3.004 and just at that moment he felt more tired
• 3.004 than he ever remembered feeling before.
• 3.012 and there was a comfortable feeling
• 4.007 who was feeling very grumpy,
• 4.012 and to feel safe from the giants
• 5.001 and he could feel nothing except the stone of the floor.
• 5.002 what felt like a tiny ring of cold metal lying on the floor of the tunnel.
• 5.002 for he could feel inside that it was high time for some meal or other;
• 5.004 After some time he felt for his pipe.
• 5.004 Then he felt for his pouch,
• 5.004 Then he felt for matches
• 5.004 Still at the moment he felt very crushed.
• 5.004 and feeling all round himself for matches
• 5.007 and one hand feeling the wall,
• 5.009 or could feel with his hand on the wall.
• 5.012 for they had a feeling that something unpleasant was lurking down there,
• 5.038 It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
• 5.056 He had a feeling that the answer was quite different
• 5.062 he even felt
• 5.074 but he did not feel at all sure how the game was going to end,
• 5.077 But he felt he could not trust this slimy thing
• 5.094 and he had a feeling that anything Gollum wanted so much
• 5.104 and feeling it with his left hand.
• 5.105 The ring felt very cold
• 5.127 Bilbo could see or feel that he was tense as a bowstring,
• 5.144 or caught by feel.
• 6.003 and very miserable he felt about it –
• 6.007 I feel responsible for him.
• 6.035 His stomach felt all empty
• 6.043 were feeling far from happy,
• 6.064 and to feel that they were
• 6.072 he could feel the heat of the flames;
• 6.087 He felt sick.
• 6.088 He was feeling very queer indeed
• 6.088 Now I know what a piece of bacon feels like
• 6.100 Soon Bilbo’s stomach was feeling full
• 6.100 and he felt he could sleep contentedly,
• 7.024 and then Bilbo felt so hungry that he would have eaten acorns,
• 7.120 The hobbit felt quite crushed,
• 7.128 and they all felt
• 7.146 Bilbo sat on the ground feeling very unhappy
• 7.146 and waiting feeling,’
• 8.004 and longed for the feel of wind on their faces.
• 8.004 Even the dwarves felt it,
• 8.004 felt that he was being slowly suffocated.
• 8.043 and enjoyed the feel of the breeze
• 8.043 and the feel of the wind,
• 8.045 which they were too heavy to climb up and feel.
• 8.047 nor why he felt so hungry;

• 8.076 He felt a different person,
• 8.078 Bilbo felt that it was unsafe to shout,
• 8.104 and before the spider knew what was happening it felt his sting
• 8.107 although he was feeling very sick
• 8.118 but at last Bilbo felt he could delay no longer –
• 8.123 just when Bilbo felt

Can

There are nearly two hundred instances of can, can’t, cannot in our text, so I’ve chosen not to list them here. From Germanic roots and back to Proto Indo European, it meant primarily to know and the sense of to know how led to our most common meaning, to be able. But, dang, check this out:

An Old English preterite-present verb, its original past participle, couth, survived only in negation (see uncouth), but compare could. The present participle has spun off with a deflected sense as cunning.

High

Nine different entries in the OED for high. Goodness. But as far as I can tell, it is all the same word high which JRRT uses, meaning both far from bottom to top and elevated in social stature — even “5.002 for he could feel inside that it was high time for some meal or other”. High is a Germanic word and its earlier origins are debated and if you want to wander down a rabbit hole of Tocharian A and Tocharian B and their friends, do spend a pleasant hour with this word’s etymology!
