What were Biter and Beater in the book 'The Hobbit'?
'Beater and Biter' are names that the goblins/orcs gave to two swords: Glamdring, ancient sword of the King of Gondolin, and Orcrist, another famous and ancient blade. Being forged by elves, the two swords glowed blue in the presence of orcs. You see, in Middle-earth, people and especially orcs know the names of the most famous swords, as well they should, considering how many of their kind they lose to them. Thorin and Gandalf took these swords from the trolls' cave, and used them from then on. "Glamdring" means "foe-hammer" (the "dring" part means "hammer"), hence "Beater". "Orcrist" means "orc-cutter", hence "Biter". The orc-names are based on the Elvish names. In the Silmarillion, Tolkien described the city of Gondolin and its king, Turgon, who was Elrond's great-grandfather.
