In Their Absence, Chapter 4  

'I get the impression that this Thadur was an ancient fellow, which means that the mystery of his final words may be ancient as well. It could be that Tirith dan Forduath is an old name for a place that goes now by a new name! In fact, I am almost certain this is the case!

'If so, then you're not very far from solving this mystery, because a hobbit lives nearby who just loves the history and makeup of old words. If anyone knows what "Tirith dan Forduath" describes, it'll be Ronald Dwale. He is an expert at languages and words.

'Ronald lives north-east of Oatbarton, just outside the village of Dwaling. If you would solve this mystery of words, you should talk to him at once!'
