Definition: Tolkein, a medieval English poet who lived during the 13th century. This term has no direct biblical reference; it is believed to be derived from Old French "tolque" (from Latin "toltus," meaning "spear"), and it signifies either the spear or the work of the poet on the "Tolue" wood, which was said to have been a wooden sword. The word has several different meanings in the Bible: 1.

Spear

: Toldot refers to the ancient Hebrew weapon of the same name, originally a small arrow-pointed spear, but later an active long-barreled, crossbow-like weapon used for hunting and warfare. 2.

Work of the poet

: "Tolue" wood was considered sacred by Old English Christians and therefore it became associated with the work of the poet who wrote on it. The wood served as a symbol of divine inspiration or its historical importance. 3.

Spear and crossbow

: In biblical times, this wood and its symbols (wooden bow for a spear) were often used in hunting scenes. It could be seen as both an object of worship and the medium through which divine inspiration was passed on from God to humans. 4.

Crossbow

: This weapon was used by medieval knights and archers to cross the English Channel, as it is associated with the Crossbowmen (who were known for their skill in the crossbow) during the Wars of the Roses. In summary, "Tolkein" refers to a woodwork that has been connected to divine inspiration and has served as both a symbol of past history and a tool used by knights to help them navigate through the English Channel during the Wars of the Roses.
