in the novel "The Hobbit"? I know the last one is a sword, but what's significant about it? TY.

1. The Sackville-Bagginses are relatives of Bilbo's who covet the Hole at Bag End. When Bilbo returns he finds the S-Bs moving in.

2. "There and Back" is the title Bilbo chooses for his memoir.

3. Butterflies are part of the description of Bilbo's home, Bag-End in Hobbiton.

4. King Under the Mountain. The "mountain" is Lonely Mountain, so the King is the Dwarf ruler of Lonely Mountain. By the time of the story, Smaug had been there so long that the King Under the Mountain was looked upon as a legend.

5. Roac was the leader of the Great Ravens of the Mountain. He told Thorin about the death of Smaug.

6. Orcrist is one of the two great Elf-made swords found in the troll's trove. "Orcrist" means "Goblin Cleaver". The other great sword found was Glamdring, the "Foe Hammer". The Orcs called them "Biter" and "Beater", respectively.
