Here, on a whim, is a list of Tolkien lists, suitable for memorization. Or framing.
Some I compiled from memory. Other useful resources were Wikipedia (which has its own list of Tolkien lists) and the Encyclopedia of Arda. It was surprisingly rare that any one online source was complete – and I had to assemble the List of Anglo-Saxon Translations of Westron Names from numerous sources, not all of them online.
Enjoy.

Another named weapon : Hadhafang (Throng-Cleaver), the blade that Arwen bore, given to her by her father Elrond Half-elven, who used it in the battle of the Last Alliance.
Other than that, great list of lists!

Except “Hadhafang” is non-canonical. It was created by Weta for the Peter Jackson films.
I’ve been thinking of doing a list of non-canon lists, with stuff created by Iron Crown and by Peter Jackson.
I stand corrected, sir :)
