- FWIW, the only female dwarf explicitly mentioned is Dis, sister of
- Thorin and mother to Fili and Kili. She's mentioned somewhere in the
- appendices. Unfortunately, it gives no description of her, so we are
- left with the mystery of whether female dwarves have beards...

- (Speaking of which, ever notice the strange colors of the dwarves'
- beards in the Hobbit? Everything from blue to red to green, etc.
- Any thoughts on this? Or is this a remnant of the more childish
- portions of the Hobbit?)
