<p>Is there an Elvish word for squirrel?</p>

Is there an Elvish word for squirrel?

According to my latest information from Helmut W. Pesch, Das große Elbisch-Buch, Bastei-Lübbe 2009, there is no such word.

My best try is the Quenya word *nornoyaulë* (literally "oak cat", from *norno* "oak" and *yaulë* "cat", formed after a German dialectal word).
