Artifacts left behind by the hobbits support the claim that H. floresiensis is a very primitive hominin. Early reports on the initial discovery focused on the few stone tools found in the hobbit levels at Liang Bua that were surprisingly sophisticated for a such a small-brained creature—an observation that skeptics highlighted to support their contention that the hobbits were modern humans, not a new species. But subsequent analyses led by Mark W. Moore of the University of New England in Australia and Adam R. Brumm, now at the University of Wollongong, have revealed the hobbit toolkit to be overall quite basic and in line with the implements produced by other small-brained hominins. The advanced appearance of a handful of the hobbit tools at Liang Bua, Moore and Brumm concluded, was produced by chance, which is not unexpected considering that the hobbits manufactured thousands of implements.

The name hobbit had previously appeared in an obscure " list of spirits" by Michael Denham, which includes several repetitions. There is no evidence to suggest Tolkien used this as a source — indeed he spent many years trying to find out whether he really did coin the word. Denham's "hobbit spirits" (which are never referenced anywhere except in the long list) have no obvious relation to Tolkien's Hobbits, other than the name (which may possibly imply hob- "small"): Tolkien's Hobbits are small humans, not spirits. Nonetheless, some few people have suggested that the reference in the Denham list should invalidate the trademark.

Hobbits had a life span somewhat longer than Men of non- Númenórean descent, averaging between 90 and 100 years. The time at which a young hobbit "came of age" was 33. [6] The oldest-living recorded hobbit (except Gollum and Bilbo Baggins, whose lives were extended by the power of The One Ring) was The Old Took, who reached the age of 130. For the most accurate measurement, it’s best to measure your feet at the end of the day. Feet tend to swell throughout the day and may have a slightly larger measurement in the evening than in the morning. The relationship hobbit/holbytla parallels the original Westron Kuduk (Hobbit), derived from the actual Rohirric kûd-dûkan (holbytla, hole dweller). This name obviously derives from the times when the hobbits lived at the Vales of Anduin with the Northmen. [15] [16] Hobbits were universally monogamous and " patrilinear" (family names descended in the male-line) and normally the titular family head was the eldest male, but his wife had an equal, but separate status. In the large powerful families (such as the Tooks) the head of what we would call a clan was the eldest male of the most direct line of descent. If the master died first his titular headship of the clan was taken by his wife and, only after her death, by their son. There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." ― Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit, " The Return Journey"

You can simply determine your shoe size using a measuring tape at home. Follow the detailed instructions below for accurate measurements – Have footwear fitted at a similar time as when you will be wearing the footwear. For daily footwear go when you've been on your feet all day your feet have expanded. Mark the tip of the big toe and the outermost part of the heel, and use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance between the two points. This measurement represents the length of your feet. (For the most precise measurement, consider using a ruler with centimeters, rather than inches.)Many people have one foot larger than the other so before buying a new pair of shoes, consider this aspect. The foot to the left is correctly fitted. The arch of the shoe and ball joint of the foot meet at the same point. The foot arch is correctly positioned in the shoe. The foot and shoe bend at the same location, with the arch fully supported, allowing the toes to remain straight. There is ample space in front of the toes to allow adequate ventilation. This will ensure a correct and comfortable shoe which will keep its shape. J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien (ed.), The Peoples of Middle-earth, "X.

Reverse the device end-for-end and measure the other foot following the steps described above. Be sure to measure both feet, then fit the larger foot. It is common to have feet of different sizes. Examine the soles. Make sure they are sturdy as well as flexible to allow lasting wear and comfortable movement. To help, each gauge comes with clear and easy to follow instructions, however should you need more help on using the gauge, you can find a video showing you how to use the gauge below. What age is the small measuring gauge suitable for? Hobbit was derived from Old English holbytla, "hole-dweller" which represents the Rohanese language. [13] In a letter, Tolkien commented on the pronunciation of the word hobbit: "I am sure many hobbits drop their hs like most rural folk in England". [14]Although there are ample shoe-size converters made as per common sizing standards, there are certain issues that people might face. Here are a few factors that impact the accuracy of these calculators: J.R.R. Tolkien; Douglas A. Anderson, (ed.), ( 2002) The Annotated Hobbit: Revised and Expanded Edition
