WORD GAME

Between each hyphen I have a word or words which hint at a word or syllable of a Tolkien person, place, or thing.
To add to your frustration I occasionally have omitted an article or conjunction, or rarely the Tolkien word or syllable may be a sounds-like.
How many Tolkien word(s) can you get? Good luck.
1. -later nimble-
2. -trombone village-
3. -from a pig quickly slang for leg precedes wiz
4. -male turkey boll weevils lunch-
5. -59 Pontiac scorch type of IRA-
6. -seaside skeletal-
7. -atmosphere Star Trek creature-
8. -looking glass female equine-
9. -Yankovic beaver pelt - tavern
10. -oleo thistle-
11. -guitarist Atkins golf driver-
12. -neck cramp emptiness-
13. -oxygen finale infirm-
14. -beneath stride-
15. -tavern small auto dents-
"...or ever still a herald on
an errand that should never rest
to bear his shining lamp afar,
the Flammifer of Westernesse."
-Bilbo Baggins

and not in the subject line, so that other board members can play.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Saurons master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
