Edain 4.7.2 veröffentlicht! / Edain 4.7.2 released!
In the tongue of the Haradrim, oliphants were known as mûmakil (singular mûmak); this word was adopted by the Men of Gondor.[1] In Sindarin, the beast was known as the Annabon, or "long-snout".[8][...]The word "oliphaunt" was only used by Hobbits.[4] Gandalf mentions elephants once in The Hobbit[10] so perhaps "oliphaunt" is a Hobbitish corruption of this original word. But whether these two creatures are the same cannot be said with certainty.
