First time I hear of such creature and immediately it got my attention for the name and the "hobhole". Was it be the inspiration for Tolkien's hobbits? 189.27.29.19 ( talk) 03:36, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
What is the difference between a hob and a brownie? They are both household spirit, who are easily insulted, and giving them clothings will drive them away forever. Is their any differences between these creature, and if not, than a hob should be considered as other name of a brownie.-- Rochelimit ( talk) 07:07, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
A famous hob called the hobthrust lived near Runswick Bay in a hobhole...
Firstly– I cannot find a source that supports the claim that the Runswick hob in particular was known as a "hobthrust". Among sources listed and sources I have been gathering, the terms hobthrust and hobhurst are of debated etymology, but neither is specifically associated with the hob at Runswick.
Secondly– If this article is going to introduce the term hobhole, it should elaborate on what a hobhole is, even just a little bit. Sources say the Runswick hobhole was a cave; one option for editing would be to eliminate the use of the term hobhole and just say that it was a cave. A second option would be to discuss the myriad of hob- place names that are found in the listed sources.
Expanding on the term hobhole would also allow the article to address the hobthrust/hobhurst issue. This could be worth discussion here, but might be better suited to another related article.
