Thinking back of this conversation I had with @hildifons-hairyfoot after I sent him this post:

And he was like

"That's the opposite of your vibes, you're like water on fire really. A good omen if you will. Or a gomen."

And I was like

"My gender is like water on fire? I have this really funny image in my head where fire is a gender identity and there are a couple of small flames slowly occurring and I'm immediately like "NO!" *splash*"

But to be honest actually it's the other way around, I'm trying to make a fire but all I manage is some smoke that immediately disappears again... 🤔

Every time I look down and see my toes, my immediate reaction is to think that I injured myself and that my toe is bloody. Hahahaha The actual story: My mom was testing which nail polish she wanted to use, so she used my big toe as a test subject before making her decision.

Hello! I was wondering, how do you think the dwarvish language handled the introduction of Hobbits? I imagine inventing a new word wasnt an option. Did they combine or reappropriate a preexisting word? Did they already have a word for halfling that they could just use to mean hobbit? Do they just use Hobbit's own name for themselves? Sorry, but I'm just very curious what you think. Thank you, and best wishes!

Well met! 

Though we sadly don’thave an official account of the first meeting between Dwarves and Hobbits we dohave a rough idea at when it would have occurred, but before we go there, let’shave a look at the name “Hobbit” first, so we better understand it.

It is known thatthe word “Hobbit” is a word of Tolkien’s own invention, though later retconnedas one not devised at random.

He states that“Hobbit”, for one thing, is not wholly unlike the actual word use in the Shire, which was „cubuc" (plural “cubugin”). Seeing that“cubuc” was not a word of general use in the Common Speech itrequired an equivalent that though natural enough in an English context did notactually occur in Standard English. Hence, it seems likely to be a localreduction of an early common speech name given to Hobbits (or adopted by themin self-description, when they came into contact with Men.) It appears to be derivedfrom an obsolete “cubug” ‘hole-dweller’, which elsewhere fell out ofuse. (Note that the King of Rohan used the word “cugbagu” ‘hole-dweller’for “cubuc” or ‘Hobbit��).

Using localrenderings of known words was not unknown to Hobbits, for instance, they hadtwisted the Elvish “Baranduin” into a familiar shape “Branduhim” (which meant in their Westron 'foaming beer’) rendered as “Brandywine” (both imitating the Hobbit word Branduhim, and at the same time stand in Modern English as a corruption of Baranduin).

“Brandywine” by Jef Murray 

Now, about thisfirst meeting of Dwarves and Hobbits.

The History ofMiddle Earth states that at about the year 1000 of the Third Age the Periannath(hobbits), of whom there are no earlier accounts among Elves or Men, are first mentionedin ancient tales. These were “a strange small people”, called by Men “Halflings”,but by themselves (later in the west of Eriador) “Hobbits”. They are thought tohave long dwelt in Greenwood the Great or near its western eaves, and in the Valeof the upper Anduin. But at this time they began to move westward over theMisty Mountains into Eriador.  TheHarfoots were the first clan of Hobbits to enter Eriador. Later followed by theFallohides and the Stoors some 150 years later.

So, all of theabove tells us it is extremely likely Dwarves would have met Hobbits sometimeduring the Second Age. Seeing it says Hobbit dwelt long in the western eaves ofGreenwood (later known as Mirkwood). An area very close to the Halls of theDwarves and directly on the trade routes of the Dwarves from the MistyMountains to Erebor and the Iron Hills.

Now, let usfinally get to the word used by the dwarves for hobbits, your actual question.Apologies for the lengthy (yet required) detour.

It is known that Dwarveshad used words of other languages to make new ones of their own (though not acommon thing) – an example of that is “Orc” (Khuzdul: “Rukhs” from Quenya “Orco”)– more on that HERE 

Tolkien statesthat for such names Dwarves seem to have had “an affinity to the Elvish names”. The Quenya or Sindarin for Hobbit being “Perian”,which would likely become “Furun” if transformed into Dwarvish.  There are however two issues with this theoryof adopting the Elvish name for Hobbits into Dwarvish.  Firstly, Dwarves likely met Hobbits first(seeing HOME states that Hobbits first appeared in Elvish records many manycenturies later), so there was no Elvish word to begin with at this point intime. Secondly, a linguistic complication, the FRN radicals are already in usein Neo-Khuzdul, used in the name for Tom Bombadil (“Forn”, meaning “ancient” - see adj. “farin”) –which itself is copy of Old Norse. So, “Furun” or anything like that would beout of the question.

Meaning that we likely would need to look for a “self-descriptive”dwarvish name, which “hobbit” in the Common Speech is as well.

For that reason, when I created The Annals of theDwarves (freely available to all via my site HERE), I made thisentry:

6472 Dwarvish Reckoning (S.A132) – It was at this time that some ofthe engineers of Khazad-dûm set out to the East to find other foods that couldbe grown within the mountains. Later that year, the company came upon a groupof little folk that had taken to growing the fertile lands between the MistyMountains and Greenwood the Great. The dwarves, not familiar with the folk,called them “zantulbasn” (“hairyfoot”). It is believed to be the source of thename “Harfoot”, used for the same group of hobbits living in these parts.

Annals of the Dwarves - as available via dwarrowscholar.com/library

Apart from “zantulbasân”, there are several other words in the dictionary for hobbits, the most frequently used is “malkân” (Halflings).

I hope thatanswers your question my friend.

Ever at yourservice,

The DwarrowScholar
