The Professor hints at the nature of Wargs in a footnote to letter #297:
Quote:
The word Warg used in The Hobbit and the L.R. for an evil breed of (demonic) wolves is not supposed to be A-S specifically, and is given prim. Germanic form as representing the noun common to the Northmen of these creatures.
