A strange and terrible voice causes panic... 1. Vagabond - Bigwig's word is 'hlessil', which I have rendered in various places in the story as wanderers, scratchers, vagabonds. A 'hlessi' is a rabbit living in the open, without a hole. Solitary bucks and unmated rabbits who are wandering do this for quite long periods especially in summer. Bucks do not usualy dig much in any case, although they will scratch shallow shelters or make use of existing holes where these are available. Real digging is done by the most part by does preparing for litters. 2. 'Zorn' means 'finished' or 'destroyed', in the sense of some terrible catastrophe. 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams

Hazel and the others finally reach the foot of the hills that Fiver had described. Could they get to the top, and what would they find if they got there? 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams
