Is David Day's mention "a feriocious race of winged insects" of any worth? In general, Day's explanations are quite often his own and not well enough based on Tolkien's texts. In the Errantry Bombadil is told to have "battled with the Dumbledors, the Hummerhorns, and Honeybees" (three different species of bumblebees?) but that's all. They may have been quite peaceful a race quite suddenly attacked by a ferocious Bombadil... --Tik 05:50, 26 January 2008 (EST)

There was an earlier discussion-ish thing about David Day. Can't find it. Specifically mention that in Day's book, the line that separates the canon from the downright balderdash is blurry. -- Ederchil 06:13, 26 January 2008 (EST)
