It means "Iron of Death" or "Wand of Death" and it was the sword of the Elf Lord Turin Turambar. With it he killed the Dragon Glaurung.

Merry's grey and shaggy pony, which he got and rode in Rohan.

Just happened to have looked up any description of Master Meriadoc's mount when painting him two weeks ago for the monthly challenge! 8)

One downside to being right.. having to come up with a question of your own!

A related one this time: what is the history of Merry's silver horn?
