ᴹQ. saurikumba [þ] adj. “*foul-bellied” (Category: Belly, Stomach)
A word appearing in Lord of the Rings drafts as part of Treebeard’s description of orcs (SD/68), likely the equivalent of English “foul-bellied” from the finished text (LotR/979), a combination of saura “foul” and (otherwise unattested) kumba “bellied”.
