Rabbit culture infuses the meagre vocabulary, like the implication that [[wikt:Appendix:Lapine/hrair|''hrair'']] means both "five" and "thousand" because rabbits cannot count beyond four. (The biological validity of that statement is beside the point, but it is reasonable.) Rabbits evidently also communicate with other animals in a language called Hedgerow Vernacular, which is translated to suggest that it is a kind of pidgin. It is clearly based on Lapine, and preserves some of the lexical features like [[wikt:Appendix:Lapine/marli|''marli'']], which can mean both "doe" [i.e. female rabbit] and "mother", but it lacks fundamental features of Lapine, like the definite article. | Rabbit culture infuses the meagre vocabulary, like the implication that [[wikt:Appendix:Lapine/hrair|''hrair'']] means both "five" and "thousand" because rabbits cannot count beyond four.
