(Lambengolmor/640)
Quenya
Perian
hobbit
elainen tárin periandion ar meldenya anyáran
*to Elaine, queen of Hobbits and my very old friend
perian
noun. Halfling
Quenya word for a “Halfing” (VT49/40) based on the root √PER “half”. As originally published in VT49, it was an element in Periondion, but this was corrected to Periandion in errata.
#Perian noun "Hobbit" (#Periand-), gen. pl. Periandion *"of Hobbits" in the Elaine inscription. VT49:40 gives the erroneous reading Periondion.
