| | The Hobbit in Czech and Slovak |
 | | These include names of the dwarves (with the exception of Dwalin in Czech), elf-names (Elrond, Gondolin, Orcrist, Glamdring, Girion, Galion, Bladorthin, Moria), and a few others (Gandalf, Bilbo, Azog, Radagast and elf). |
 | | In some instances, the Czech translator replaced foreign-sounding consonants with their equivalents in the given language, thus w>v, th>t, c>k, ll>l, bb>b in Dwalin, Dorwinion; Esgaroth, (but not in Thor, Thrain and Thorin); Orcrist, Roac; Belladona; hobbit. |
 | | The Slovak translation uses such names in their original English form more often; changing only c>k in Orcrist, Roac. |
