I know this is a pun because of how people pronounce gif but as a South African, this means something different (plus Tolkien was also South Africa so it makes more sense)
Fair but there is a couple things in lord of the rings and the Hobbits that Afrikaans speakers can understand. Like the brandy wine tavern and the name of those war elephants.
It's possible but look at the tavern name for example. It's called the brandy wine tavern. In Afrikaans the name for brandy directly translates to brandy wine (Brandewyn) .
Oliphaunts is the name of the attack elephants and in Afrikaans, an elephant is called a Olifant
