ᴺQ. !rimperocco “zebra, (lit.) stripe-horse”

G. raibrog n. “zebra” (Category: Horse (generic))

The word for “zebra” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s was raibrog or ribrog with a feminine variant raibros, a combination of G. raib “striped” and G. brog “horse” (GL/64).

Neo-Sindarin: I’d adapt this word as ᴺS. raebroch for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, using the later word S. roch for “horse”.
