My first is in dwarf, but not in hobbit
My second the reverse, it’s the one who could rob it
My third is in acorn, but not in the tree
My fourth is in Fili, Kili and Balin, all three
My last is in Erebor and elves as well

oh Donut and I like this! (Donut thinks a whale is a fish, but he's still very young and doesn't quite understand these things. *fond look at seagull muse* Silly. :) )

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. Donut's confusion is understandable.

I got it, yay! Riddles are hard, and this is a good one.

[smallhobbit]

I'm glad you solved it. It's a challenge to make it solvable without being obvious.

A good riddle!

(It could almost give one a plot bunny for a pirate AU!)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you!

That would be fun to read :)

A great use of a tricky prompt.

Thank you - it took a while to think of something, but when in doubt resort to poetry.
