From the "Questions for Narnion" section
This is a really interesting point. Are there any references anywhere to Men or Dwarves claiming ownership of their rings?
For Dwarves perhaps the nature of their in-born desire for gold is what made their rings not work as Sauron desired - their lusty desire would be for the gold rather than for the power such that it is a different sort of "ownership" maybe?
One other thought on this thread. I am up to "The Mirror of Galadriel" and noted something I should have noticed before. Galadriel identifies herself as Nenya's keeper -- a role different than an owner. Rather, she sounds as if she views it as holding her ring in trust rather than ownership.
