Ever wonder why Hobbits don’t have to wear shoes ( ... )

That talk we needed to have as mentioned on the Raising Fili prompt? Yeah.

Seconding. Anyway. I... will bookmark it for when I'm done with other fills though. Just. In. Case.

:D Woo!!

Re: A History Best Forgotten: Hobbit's Feet ladyredfeather January 27 2013, 21:41:56 UTC

Wow. Interesting world-building concept. I feel bad for Bilbo carrying that weight though.

Re: A History Best Forgotten: Hobbit's Feet ladyredfeather January 27 2013, 22:25:11 UTC

On the origin of the name "hobbit", canon already relates it to an old Rohirric word Holbytla, which means "hole-builder". Maybe it's not so much the literal meaning of the word that is "humble" as a stage in their history before they crossed the Misty Mountains where they tried to escape genocide by taking to dwelling in holes dug into hills.

That's not the only old word that remains in Hobbit language, there's also "smial" (hobbit holes), and "mathom". Smial may relate to the idea of trying to escape persecution, but I have this mental image of mathom being even older - a name they used to use for the things they stole.

Of course, as the prompt says, the only ones left who know the old meaning is Bilbo and the Gaffer.

:3 thank you for the brief history lesson. That's interesting to know. Seriously I did not know anything about that at all. (except I did know what hobbit truly meant)
So they really were trying to escape genocide?

Re: A History Best Forgotten: Hobbit's Feet ladyredfeather February 9 2013, 16:56:35 UTC

I just looked it up and omg, I have not seen their history before.

Re: A History Best Forgotten: Hobbit's Feet mimi_sardinia February 9 2013, 21:58:20 UTC

Well the canon reason for their migration was that they were possibly trying to get far away from Mirkwood after it started turning into Mirkwood. I'm just commenting on the meaning of the word for the sake of anyone who decides to write a fic for this, so they can mesh the canon meaning of "hobbit" with the prompt.

That URL only goes to the top of this thread, not to your fill.

Re: A History Best Forgotten: Hobbit's Feet ladyredfeather February 12 2013, 06:19:01 UTC

D: sad face it just leads to the top of this prompt post.
