A worthy and delightful preposition, it’s all over (ahem) our sister Germanic languages. Yet this is an old, old, old word, found in Sanskrit and Greek with very little difference except the V sauntering to B or P as time and location vary.

On the advice of a good friend in the Tolkien world (thanks, Sharon Hoff!), and in contradiction of Richard Blackwelder’s guideline, I am moving forward with an adverb. Or is it an adjective, noun, or even verb?

[01.010] ‘All of them at once,’ said Bilbo. ‘And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain.

Well, then. I have been schooled. “Further” and “farther” belong to a different word, a verb meaning to move something along … until “farther” was adopted by “far” as a comparative and “further” sort of came along with it, but only hesitantly. Here’s the whole family.

• 1.008 that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.
• 1.020 In fact I will go so far as
• 1.070 far over The Water
• 1.070 and very far from his hobbit-hole under The Hill.
• 1.073 Far over the misty mountains cold
• 1.077 Far over the misty mountains cold
• 1.082 Far over the misty mountains grim
• 1.114 So far we have had no clear idea what to do.
• 1.114 as far as the Long Lake.
• 1.116 far too often,
• 1.119 but so far still Tookishly determined to go on with things.
• 1.119 and so on and further.’
• 1.122 our family was driven out of the far North,
• 1.122 It had been discovered by my far ancestor,
• 1.122 up the Running River as far as the valley
• 1.123 in a great heap far inside,
• 1.123 than the far edge of the Long Lake now-a-days.
• 1.136 far beyond the powers
• 1.144 Far over the misty mountains cold
• 2.028 Now they had gone on far into the Lone-lands,
• 2.028 Not far ahead were dreary hills,
• 2.032 So far he had come all the way with them,
• 2.040 through the tree-trunks not far ahead.
• 2.117 not far from the track by the river,
• 2.123 I had not gone very far,
• 2.125 in the woods not far from the road:
• 3.001 not far away on either side.
• 3.001 The far bank was steep
• 3.011 They saw a valley far below.
• 3.012 not far above the banks of the stream.
• 3.026 when sun has been all day on the snow far up above.
• 4.002 laid out behind them far below.
• 4.002 Far, far away
• 4.002 Far, far away
• 4.005 where they smashed among the trees far below,
• 4.007 and was far from happy about the giants himself.
• 4.009 “not far round the next corner;
• 4.011 and it does not go far back.”
• 4.012 you don’t know how far they go back, sometimes,
• 4.012 Still it was not very far to go,
• 4.020 Pound, pound, far underground!
• 4.021 Round and round far underground
• 4.024 and dragged them to the far end of the cavern
• 4.025 so far.
• 4.029 nothing was further from our thoughts
• 4.043 far behind
• 5.002 and he was far from certain
• 5.002 He did not go much further,
• 5.005 and yet not far enough.’
• 5.012 and they found they could go no further;
• 5.084 Not far away was his island,
• 5.090 not very far off by the sound of it.
• 5.098 As far as Bilbo knew,
• 5.114 and it can’t go far.
• 5.118 Not far now.
• 5.122 for he was leaving the water further
• 5.122 and further behind,
• 5.13 He dared go no further.
• 6.008 He has been more trouble than use so far,’
• 6.032 so they might be said to have had the best of it so far.
• 6.034 we are too far to the North,
• 6.041 and the pine-roots far below.
• 6.043 were feeling far from happy,
• 6.045 though far away through the trees
• 6.046 Must we go any further?’ asked Bilbo,
• 6.047 A bit further,’ said Gandalf.
• 6.048 After what seemed ages further
• 6.049 then by another not far away to the left.
• 6.057 and hung his arm down as far as ever he could.
• 6.061 Goblins do not usually venture very far from their mountains,
• 6.062 In spite of the dangers of this far land
• 6.067 a tiny spot far far below.
• 6.067 a tiny spot far far below.
• 6.067 and yelping come up faint from far beneath him.
• 6.082 or drove them far away;
• 6.082 who were scrambling up now as far as they ever dared to go.
• 6.084 Now far below the goblins
• 6.084 were scattering far
• 6.094 and Bilbo far away
• 6.096 and as far as you will!
• 7.002 and the world was far away,
• 7.009 and far off
• 7.011 Indeed we are now a good deal further east
• 7.012 who lives not far away.
• 7.023 As a bear he ranges far
• 7.093 while at the far end
• 7.093 with his great legs stuck far out
• 7.094 that lay outstretched far to North
• 7.096 and the voices seemed to grow far away,
• 7.117 there were far too many of them,
• 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.
• 7.126 and on a little of which they could march far.
• 7.128 that the adventure was far more dangerous
• 7.130 been far to the south of the Lonely Mountain,
• 7.136 Beorn is not as far off as you seem to think,
• 7.136 or sitting far off
• 7.136 in letting dwarves ride them so far
• 8.001 Soon the light at the gate was like a little bright hole far behind,
• 8.002 in the leaves far above,
• 8.009 There is a boat against the far bank!
• 8.010 How far away do you think it is?’ asked Thorin,
• 8.011 Not at all far.
• 8.018 Not far enough!’
• 8.027 back to the far bank?’ asked the hobbit.
• 8.029 In this way they were all soon on the far bank
• 8.029 As it reached the further bank it stumbled.
• 8.032 and the sound as of dogs baying far off.
• 8.042 He could hear the dwarves shouting up at him from far below,
• 8.044 they were not far off the edge of the forest;
• 8.044 and he could not expect to see how far the forest lasted.
• 8.051 we have carried you far enough.’
• 8.052 to go a step further
• 8.062 not far away were scores of twinkling lights,
• 8.064 it was far worse this time.
• 8.070 begun not far away –
• 8.073 But the cries of the others got steadily further
• 8.073 in the far distance,
• 8.078 who were not likely to be very far off,
• 8.094 further and further
• 8.094 further and further
• 8.098 They made for his noise far quicker than he had expected.
• 8.100 I am far more sweet than other meat,
• 8.103 as far as he dared.
• 8.132 wound far underground
• 9.003 and at the far end were gates before the mouth of a huge cave
• 9.018 and joined the Forest River some way further to the east,
• 9.018 were brought from far away,
• 9.019 built out on bridges far into the water
• 9.020 to a place far down the river where the bank jutted out,
• 9.030 far down
• 9.030 and fortunately not far from the cellars.
• 9.032 as far as he could;
• 9.063 and far from a fire,
• 10.002 And far away,
• 10.002 Bilbo had come far
• 10.004 if he had known that news of this had reached Gandalf far away
• 10.006 and far,
• 10.007 Not far from the mouth of the Forest River
• 10.009 not far from the shoreward head of the great bridge.
• 10.018 Other folk were far away;
• 10.032 As a matter of fact he thought it far more likely
• 10.041 and as far northward towards the Mountain
• 10.045 although autumn was now getting far on,
• 11.008 much further towards the Gate;
• 11.012 in the perilous waste without hope of further help.
• 11.012 but as far as ever,
• 11.014 nor from further off
• 11.019 but they did not dare to venture very far that way,
• 11.021 and far.
• 11.029 there was a gleam of yellow upon its far roof,
• 12.002 and resource far exceeding his size,
• 12.002 far exceeding the usual allowance –
• 12.007 It was far easier going than he expected.
• 12.019 from far down
• 12.020 from far above that came down through it
• 12.027 in the stony hollows far above;
• 12.031 They crept further down the tunnel,
• 12.067 you could not get it very far?
• 12.067 and he knew his guesses were not far out,
• 12.068 So far all his thoughts
• 12.071 while far up
• 12.079 he had not gone nearly far enough
• 12.094 not far down from the half-open door
• 12.098 for any whisper of a movement from far below.
• 12.099 I like this silence far less than the uproar of last night.
• 12.101 They fled further down the tunnel
• 12.103 In the meanwhile he had further vengeance to take.
• 13.009 and far off
• 13.022 But soon they saw it far away
• 13.023 until he came to the great doors at the further side,
• 13.044 and far beyond the reach of their torch-light.
• 13.044 coming through some opening far above,
• 13.045 Not far off now is the Front Gate.’
• 13.046 at the further end,
• 13.054 How far is that?’
• 13.069 We can go no further to-day.’
• 13.071 and there was a small chamber further in,
• 14.002 at the far end of the lake,
• 14.032 and people further off took up the cry:
• 14.040 Far over Mirkwood tidings spread:
• 15.002 and far off there are many carrion birds
• 15.019 has already gone far
• 15.020 and now are scattered far.
• 15.027 far down the banks
• 15.027 not far from where the rest of their stores had been left.
• 15.048 Further
• 15.048 and in recompense you have thus far brought ruin only,
• 16.014 not far away.’
• 16.017 He had barely scrambled out on the far bank,
• 16.021 How did you get so far past our sentinels?’
• 17.061 That did not seem far off.
• 18.007 not far from where Bilbo sat.
• 18.051 and men came from far
• 18.053 There far away was the Lonely Mountain
• 19.003 The stars are far brighter
• 19.003 The moon is far whiter
• 19.025 Not far from the road

“far, adv.” OED Online, Oxford University Press, June 2020, http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/68132. Accessed 25 August 2020.

This word has eight distinct meanings – strife, joy, penny, delightful, won (the adjective), to be victorious, to dwell, and to dry. Our meaning, to be victorious, is attested from 888. Y’all know me, I could spend the whole day investigating the other senses. When I have a day off, perhaps I will!

Oh, dear. It’s got a spin-off – witherwin. Let’s work double hard to win a day off!

• 1.082 To win our harps and gold from him!
• 1.094 and in this way the battle was won
• 1.096 The Took side had won.
• 5.094 And I won the game,
• 5.098 he had won the game,
• 12.095 about what would happen after the treasure had been won.
• 12.095 and I still think that when we have won it will be time enough
• 13.040 This treasure is not yet won back.
• 17.044 for they resolved now to win the dominion of the North.
• 17.061 before the goblins win the Gate,
• 18.035 in its winning
• 19.003 Than gold won by mining,

My goodness. When measuring grindstones, a foot is eight inches. This is an old, old, old word (like, grindstone era), with all kinds of Frisian and Gothic relations. Guess what I did for the last ten minutes!

• 1.004 because their feet grow natural leathery soles
• 1.004 the small river that ran at the foot of The Hill.
• 1.063 jumped to their feet,
• 1.068 and found Thorin with his feet on the fender smoking a pipe.
• 1.081 Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
• 1.096 and put your foot in it.’
• 1.109 “Five feet high the door
• 2.019 and running as fast as his furry feet could carry him down the lane,
• 2.042 not if the whole cavalcade had passed two feet off.
• 2.060 yer nassty little rabbit,” said he looking at the hobbit’s furry feet;
• 2.070 to scramble out of the way of their feet,
• 2.071 But his poor little feet had been very squashed
• 3.001 Already they seemed only a day’s easy journey from the feet of the nearest.
• 3.007 and up to meet the feet of the nearest mountain,
• 3.008 that opened suddenly at their feet,
• 3.024 but you had best get on foot,
• 3.040 beside the plain runes which say ‘five feet high the door
• 4.018 keeping time with the flap of their flat feet on the stone,
• 4.044 Soon they could hear even the flap of the goblin feet,
• 4.044 many many feet which seemed only just round the last corner.
• 5.012 He paddled it with large feet dangling over the side,
• 5.050 But when he put his long webby foot
• 5.073 and slapped his feet on the floor,
• 5.077 and he jumped at once to his feet,
• 5.129 seven feet forward
• 5.130 falling fair on his sturdy feet,
• 6.010 tripped up your feet,
• 6.040 rolled away from their feet;
• 6.043 and feet.
• 6.060 They left guards at the foot of the tree
• 6.064 in the air ten feet,
• 7.010 at the foot of the steps
• 8.001 and the quiet was so deep that their feet seemed to thump along
• 8.018 A couple of feet
• 8.029 Thorin was the only one who had kept his feet
• 8.030 Bombur had only one foot on the land
• 8.033 to their feet
• 8.037 Their feet ruffled
• 8.088 to see a dwarvish foot sticking out
• 8.132 at the feet of the high wooded lands.
• 9.003 till their feet were
• 9.028 and feet too,
• 9.050 and was pushed over into the cold water some feet below.
• 10.001 Under its rocky feet like an inland cliff
• 10.006 whose feet were piled with shingles.
• 10.019 they shouted leaping to their feet
• 10.030 All leaped to their feet.
• 10.034 with hurrying feet.
• 11.006 to the feet of Ravenhill.
• 11.013 there were fewer signs of the dragon’s marauding feet,
• 11.015 At last tired out they rested on the grass at its feet,
• 11.016 and fifty feet
• 11.032 A hole appeared suddenly about three feet from the ground.
• 11.038 A door five feet high
• 12.009 and put your foot right
• 12.033 for them to dare the long way on foot.
• 12.103 Your feet came from the waterside
• 13.019 and drawn his feet towards it.
• 13.019 before his feet
• 13.049 their feet slithered on stones rubbed smooth
• 14.008 and feet were hurrying.
• 14.014 with leaping shadows of dense black at their feet.
• 14.033 and here the Master rose to his feet
• 14.042 and they were forced to go the slower way by foot;
• 16.017 when he missed his footing on a round stone
• 17.028 I will sting your miserable feet.
• 17.048 and in the rocks at its feet,
• 17.048 before the Mountain’s feet
• 17.056 leapt down to the falls’ foot,
• 18.025 but the pursuit was still on foot,
• 18.046 and standing on one foot,
• 19.012 Soft is the grass, and let foot be like feather!
• 19.031 Yet feet that wandering have gone
