- 02.069 Bill Huggins,” says Bert,
- 02.070 when Bert dropped him on the ground,
- 02.071 in Bert’s big paw,
- 02.072 Bert and Bill stopped fighting immediately,
- 02.074 “I reckon you’re right,” said Bert,
- 02.079 and Bert got that end
- 02.081 that was Bert’s idea,
- 02.082 Bert thought it was William’s.
- 02.084 who thought it was Bert that had spoken.
- 02.085 “You are,” said Bert.

Beorn
The Old Scandinavian name Bjorn means “bear” and derivatively “warrior”
- 07.020 his name is Beorn.
- 07.040 and again,’ said Beorn.
- 07.048 and a little one at that,’ said Beorn.
- 07.052 I see!’ said Beorn.
- 07.054 thank you,’ said Beorn,
- 07.056 Go on telling, then!’ said Beorn,
- 07.062 growled Beorn.
- 07.064 Hullo!’ said Beorn.
- 07.065 but Beorn interrupted them.
- 07.072 said Beorn to the wizard.
- 07.074 Good!’ growled Beorn.
- 07.078 That’s enough!’ said Beorn.
- 07.082 Beorn did not show it more than he could help,
- 07.085 growled Beorn.
- 07.088 The interruptions had really made Beorn more interested
- 07.089 in Beorn’s garden.
- 07.092 Beorn clapped his hands,
- 07.092 Beorn said something to them
- 07.093 he put Beorn’s big black chair
- 07.093 so soon they were all seated at Beorn’s table,
- 07.094 Beorn in his deep rolling voice told tales
- 07.095 but Beorn seemed to be growing drowsy
- 07.095 and Beorn did not appear to care for such things:
- 07.097 Beorn was gone.
- 07.105 but not I think for Beorn.
- 07.105 but I warn you all not to forget what Beorn said before he left us:
- 07.107 and whether it could be Beorn
- 07.111 We have been about looking for Beorn ever since the sun got up;
- 07.113 waited on by Beorn’s wonderful animals,
- 07.113 Of Beorn they had seen
- 07.117 I soon saw that Beorn could not have made them all:
- 07.120 still puzzling his little head about Beorn,
- 07.121 by Beorn himself.
- 07.122 Beorn was most jolly for a change;
- 07.123 that of yours,’ said Beorn,
- 07.125 Come and see!’ said Beorn,
- 07.125 Beorn was a fierce enemy.
- 07.129 Soon after midday they ate with Beorn for the last time,
- 07.130 But Beorn had warned them
- 07.130 Beorn advised them to take this way;
- 07.131 Beorn had said,
- 07.132 and Beorn’s house
- 07.133 for Beorn had said
- 07.136 Beorn is not as far off as you seem to think,
- 07.136 Beorn may be your friend,
- 08.008 It was well that Beorn had warned them against it,
- 08.034 and now the bows that Beorn had given them were useless.
- 08.055 and of Beorn.
- 08.079 O! why did we not remember Beorn’s advice,
- 10.003 on the advice of Beorn
- 13.039 out of one of Beorn’s wooden bowls!’
- 14.040 Beorn had heard it
- 18.022 in that last hour Beorn himself had appeared –
- 18.023 Then Beorn stooped
- 18.043 and beside them strode Beorn,
- 18.043 Moreover Beorn was going that way too.
- 18.051 and Beorn for much of the way –
- 18.051 to the doors of Beorn’s house;
- 18.051 and wide to feast at Beorn’s bidding.
- 18.051 Beorn indeed became a great chief afterwards
- 18.051 in heart like Beorn,
- 18.052 and Gandalf took their leave at last of Beorn,
- 18.052 for the flowers of the gardens of Beorn
- 19.005 in the house of Beorn;
Bladorthin
The dwarves of Erebor made spears for his armies, but those weapons were never collected.
- 12.096 of the great King Bladorthin
Blacksmith-work
Although “smith-work” is found in OED, the specific work of a blacksmith is not, so this is a JRRT original hyphenated word.
- 01.124 often enough sinking as low as blacksmith-work or even coalmining.
Blackness
- 04.051 and the hobbit rolled off his shoulders into the blackness,
- 05.011 in the blackness;
- 09.001 once more into the blackness of night,
- 12.007 in the blackness below.
- 13.025 in the wide blackness.
- 17.040 another blackness could be seen whirling forward;
Blacken
- 07.045 and the smoke was rising to the blackened rafters
- 08.001 to bear more than a few blackened leaves.
- 11.004 and blackened stumps to speak of ones long vanished.
- 13.048 and blackened though it was.
Black-haired
Hyphenated just so in OED.
- 07.022 sometimes he is a great strong black-haired man with huge arms
“black, adj. and n.” OED Online. Oxford University Press, June 2017. Web. 5 September 2017.
Biter
- 04.033 but the goblins called it simply Biter.
- 04.041 and hated it worse than Biter if possible.
- 04.048 “Biter and Beater!” they shrieked;
Birthday-present
In the 1937 edition of The Hobbit, this word phrase does not appear.
In the OED, it has a compound word entry “birthday present” with an example of “birth-day present”, but in no case hyphenated as JRRT uses it here.
- 05.085 My birthday-present!’
- 05.087 My birthday-present!
- 05.109 My birthday-present.’
- 05.111 My birthday-present!
“birthday, n.” OED Online. Oxford University Press, June 2017. Web. 5 September 2017.
Bird-speech
- 15.014 and not bird-speech)
It is not found as a compound form under “speech” – nor is any similar, like “whale speech” or “French speech”, so the meaning as “language of the birds” is JRRT original (or the similarly obscure invention of another, but raised into notice by JRRT).
