1) Noldorin Elf, brother of Finrod, who was next in line to the throne of Nargothrond when Finrod was slain by Sauron. The weak-willed Orophin was usurped by Celegorm and Curufin, but took power with the aid of Beren after his return. He established Nargothrond as an unassailable hidden realm, but succumbed to pressure form Turin to adopt a more aggressive approach, and was slain in the sacking of Nargothrond.
2) Elf, brother of Haldir and Rumil, one of the three who encountered the Fellowship of the Ring on the borders of Lorien. He couldn't speak Westron.

Both are Tolkien characters.

Creature related to an ent, mentioned but never encountered in Lord of the Rings. The Entwives tended flowers in what is now the Brown Lands, whereas the Ents preferred the forests. A confusing idea - did ents and entwives produce little acorns? In which case, are they really one species, instead of two? And how did they manage it, if one lot lives in plains and the other in forests?
I always wanted to know what happened to the entwives and hoped they would turn up later in the book, but they didn't. Bugger.

Where the hell did the entwives go?
I've not seen him in three days - he's as elusive as an entwife.
You should tie up your loose ends - you don't want to leave entwives lying around.

1) A generic term for the realms in the far south of Middle Earth, roughly corresponding to Africa in relation to Europe. Harad is of unknown size, was not mapped by JRR Tolkien and features little in the books. The only location mentioned is Umbar, a city in northwestern Harad from which pirates known as Corsairs attack the coasts of Gondor; in the book Unfinished Tales, Tolkien hints that Istari (wizards) other than the famous five resided in Harad, including a Wizard by the name of Tu. The Haradrim (people of Harad) fought with Sauron in the War of the Ring, although it is unclear whether they were tricked; also known as Southrons (although in some renditions, such as the PC version of the War in Middle Earth game, Haradrim and Southrons are separate people). In the third Lord of the Rings film, the Haradrim appear at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields heavily armoured, in vaguely Middle Eastern-looking costumes. In battle, the Haradrim are best-known for their use of Mumakil or Oliphaunts, which are elephants or elephant-like monsters native to Harad.
A search on Google Images reveals that many Tolkien fans and RPG players have drawn maps of Harad, but that these never correspond to one another, with the result that innumerable versions of Harad now exist, each with its own specifications of kingdoms, peoples etc. There are two Harad extension packs for the official (non-computer) Tolkien RPG, although they are only available second-hand.
The name "Harad" is an Elvish word for "south". The area is also known as the Haradwaith ("South-folk").
2) an actual region of Sweden. (I found this out while searching Google Images for Harad).

The hosts of Harad rode forth to battle against the beleaguered forces of Gondor, foully hewing their way into the Gondorian ranks. (not a quote; this is me imitating Tolkien-speak).

As in Korean slang, "shoot" means, when I say 'I'll shoot', it means same as 'I'll pick up the tab', 'I'll pay for it'.
