The Carrock
Submitted by Diarmuid on February 4th, 2026
"And why is it called the Carrock?" asked Bilbo as he went along at the wizard's side.
"He called it the Carrock, because carrock is his word for it. He calls things like that carrocks, and this one is the Carrock because it is the only one near his home and he knows it well."
Source: J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Note: Carrock is a compound of Celtic and English words for 'rock'.
