The Grass Burrows currently consist of four sleeping burrows. They are called the grass burrows because above them, on the surface is quite a bit of grass.

About the Log Run « Result #6 on Jul 7, 2008, 12:13am »
The Log Run is a long run that leads into the burrow. Part of the hole is covered by a log, giving it the name, the Log Run. The Log serves as a good lookout position. When under attack, this run is not a good run to escape from if you have a choice....because most large rabbits have to sqeeze out of the hole. Also because of this fact, a lot of young rabbits use this hole to escape.

About the Main Burrow « Result #7 on Jul 6, 2008, 11:38pm »
The Main Burrow is a meeting place. It is a large room with columns of packed dirt that support the roof of the burrow. It has quite a few different runs leading off from it, including most of the sleeping burrows. When the Rah wants to make an announcement, the rabbits all huddle in here to listen as the Rah talks from it's burrow entrace.

Lapine Dictionary « Result #10 on Jul 5, 2008, 1:50pm »
Sometimes in the RPG, if we know the rabbit word for something, we use that instead of the English word. This can be quite confusing if you've never read the book, or if your Lapine is a bit rusty. Below you will find the same alphabetical listing of Lapine words and their meanings as in the "Lapine Glossary" of the book.
- Bob-stones: A traditional game among rabbits. It is played with small stones, fragments of sticks and the like. Fundamentally it is a very simple kind of gambling, on the lines of "Odds and Evens." A "cast" of stones on the ground is covered by the player's front paw. The opponent must then hazard some sort of surmise about its nature-- e.g. one or two, light or dark, rough or smooth.
- Crixa, the: The center of Efrafa, at the crossing point of two bridle paths.
- Efrafa: The name of the warren founded by General Woundwort. The first syllable is stressed and not the second, as in the word "Majesty."
- El-ahrairah: The rabbit folk hero. The name (Elil-hriar-rah) means "Enemies-Thousand-Prince" = the Prince with a Thousand Enemies (of rabbits). The stresses in the name are the same as in the phrase "Never say die."
- Elil: Enemies of rabbits-- e.g. fox, stoat, weasel, cat, owl, man, etc.
- Embleer: Stinking-- e.g. the smell of a fox.
- Flay: Food-- e.g. grass or other green fodder.
- Flayrah: Unusually good food-- e.g. lettuce.
- Frith: The sun, personified as a god by rabbits. Frithrah! = the lord Sun-- used as an exclaimation.
- Fu Inlé: After moonrise.
- Hlao: Any dimple or impression in the grass, such as that formed by a daisy plant or a thistle, which can hold moisture.
- Hlao-roo: "Little Hlao." An affection diminutive of the name Hlao, one of the rabbits in the story.
- Hlessi: A rabbit living above ground, without a regular hole or warren. A wandering rabbit, living in the open. Also scrathers, vagabonds. Solitary bucks and unmated rabbits who are wandering do this for quite long periods, especially in the summer. Bucks do not usually dig much in any case, although they will scratch small shelters or make use of existing holes where these are available. Real digging is done for the most part by does preparing for litters. (Plural, hlessil.)
- "Hoi, hoi u embleer Hrair,/ M'saion ulé hraka vair.": "Hoi, hoi the stinking Thousand,/ We meet them even when we stop to pass our droppings."
- Homba: A fox. (Plural, hombil.)
- Hrair: 1. A great many; an uncountable number; any number over four. (Rabbits can only count up to four.) 2. U Hrair = The Thousand (enemies) = elil.
- Hrairoo: "Little Thousand." The name of Fiver in Lapine-- i.e. the little one of a lot, or, as they say of pigs, "the runt."
- Hraka: Droppings, excreta.
- Hrududu: A tractor, car, or any motor vehicle. (Plural, hrududil.)
- Hyzenthlay: Literally, "Shine-dew-fur" = Fur shining like dew. The name of a doe.
- Inlé: Literally, the moon; also moonrise. But a second meaning carries the idea of darkness, fear, and death.
- Lendri: A badger.
- Marli: A doe. Also carries the meaning "mother."
- M'saion: "We meet them."
- Narn: Nice, pleasant (to eat).
- Ni-Frith: Noon.
- Nildro-hain: "Blackbird's Song." The name of a doe.
- Owsla: The strongest rabbits in a warren, the ruling clique. Nearly all warrens have an Owsla, or group of strong or clever rabbits-- second-year or older-- surrounding the Chief Rabbit and his or her mate and exercising authority. Owslas vary. In one warren, the Owsla may be the band of a warlord; in another, it may consist largely of clever patrollers or garden-raiders. Sometimes a good storyteller may find a place; or a seer, or intuitive rabbit. In the Sandleford warren at this time, the Owsla was rather military in character (though, as will be seen, not so military as some, like Efrafa).
- Owslafa: The Council police (a word found only in Efrafa [and Nildro-inlé!]).
- Pfeffa: A cat.
- Rah: A prince, leader, or chief rabbit. Usually used as a suffix-- e.g. Threarah = Lord Threar.
- Roo: Used as a suffix to denote a diminutive-- e.g. Hrairoo.
- Sayn: Groundsel.
- Silf: Outside, that is, not underground.
- Silflay: To go above ground to feed. Literally, to feed outside. Also used as a noun.
- Tharn: Stupefied, distraught, hypnotized with fear. But can also, in certain contexts, mean "looking foolish," or again "heartbroken" or "forlorn."
- Thethuthinnang: "Movement of Leaves." The name of a doe. The first and last syllables are stressed, as in the phrase "Once in a way."
- Thlay: Fur.
- Thlayli: "Fur-head." Bigwig's nickname.
- Threar: A rowan tree, or mountain ash.
- Vair: To excrete, pass droppings.
- White Blindness, the: A terrible sickness, most likely rabies.
- Yona: A hedgehog. (Plural, yonil.)
- Zorn: Destroyed, murdered, finished. Denotes a terrible catastrophe.
