Re: Orcish Fear

A killer whale is Orcinus orca. There is a preface in The Hobbit (at least there is in mine) that says "Orc is not an English word ... Orc is the hobbits' form of the name given at that time to these creatures, and it is not conected at all with our orc, ork, applied to sea-animals of dolphin-kind."

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>
