Oki, I dont know if this has been discussed before but I wonder something...

In the Hobbit it is told that the Hobbits are larger than the littleputts (please help me translate that swenglish to english, whats a littleputt in english?). Where does the "Littleputts" come from and are they mentioned anywhere else? Or is it only as Tolkien compared the length of the hobbits with totally irrelevant beings that doesn't exist in his own fantasyworld?
