sionnach commented on the word hobbet and hobbit
A hobbet was originally a Welsh unit of capacity, later redefined as a unit of mass. Actual numerical values for the amount it represented appear to have varied by exact geographic location (and possibly the particular commodity being measured).
Hobbitses, as is well known, live in New Zealand, have furry feet, and a marked predilection for secreting things in their pocketses.
