Written by
Walter Edward Haigh
(1856-1931)
and published in 1928
by Oxford University Press.
The book is notable for containing
a foreword by Professor J.R.R. Tolkien.
A 2007 article by Janet Brennan Croft
noted that a number of words
in Tolkien’s later fiction
could be traced
to Haigh’s
glossary,
including
Baggins,
Bree,
Brockenborings,
gaffer,
nowt,
nosey,
nuncle,
and vittles.
