I know that Holbytla is what the Rohirrim called Hobbits...because the name is similar to the word Hobbit and there were other similar words the two cultures shared that fascinated Merry.
I thought holbytlan was the Rohan way, Pherianath was the Elvish way, and Hobbit was the Westron way.
But I can be wrong...going from memory too.

That's right, I confused Westron and the Rohirrim tongue.
Also I thought that "hlothran" was the word that Farmer Cotton's name was derived from.
