title_body: An Elvish word for squirrel Is there an Elvish word for squirrel?
  
  According to my latest information from Helmut W. Pesch, Das große Elbisch-Buch, Bastei-Lübbe 2009, there is no such word.
  
  My best try is the Quenya word nornoyaulë (literally "oak cat", from norno "oak" and yaulë "cat", formed after a German dialectal word).
upvoted_answer: peccuvo
  peccuvo (Quenya): Squirrel, lit. &quot;nut-hider&quot; [pec 'nut' + kuvo 'hider']
