By the way, did you know that the names of the dwarves (or was it "dwarfs"?) come from a piece of mediaeval Scandinavian literature?
In the latter, Gandalf is also a dwarf.

@vnikolov@ieji.de No I didn’t know that particular tidbit, but I am somewhat aware of Tolkien’s drawing upon on ancient sources for names, places, story lines, and so on.
