(*)Anarwa na Vanye(*): In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit. That's not to say that all hobbits live in holes in the ground, or to deny this because this particular hobbit the habitat he throuroughly enjoyed. Hobbits could as easily live in large homes and estates mostly anywhere they wished. Being a hobbit, Bilbo was vertically-challenged and heavines-endowed (note that this did not make hobbits inferior to the taller or less-obese peoples of Middle Earth, or even that all hobbits are so socially challenged. On the contrary, Bilbo's condition was a product of his diet and environment, and not a limiting factor in the least.)
