Rabbits
From Tolkien Gateway
Stewed Rabbit by John Howe
- "Do you remember that bit of rabbit, Mr. Frodo?"
- ― Sam Gamgee in The Return of the King, "Mount Doom"
Rabbits were long-eared, furry animals, also called 'coneys'. On 7 March T.A. 3019 in northern Ithilien, Samwise Gamgee asked Gollum to bring him some food. Gollum brought him two small rabbits which Sam proceeded to cook, to Gollum's intense displeasure.[1]
Etymology
In a linguistic manuscript dating from the 1930s, appears the Quenya gloss lopo ("rabbit").[2] In earlier Qenya, it was lapatte.[3]
