Well, this is interesting! "Waggle" dates back to the 16th century, and while I think it's in
The Hobbit (beards waggling), it's not hugely uncommon elsewhere.
But: you're right. There's a Tolkien connection with all these words, and it's
not to do with whether they're found in his fiction. Would you care to say what the connection might be?
