Olifant



         


Olifant is an alternate spelling of the word elephant. A similar spelling, oliphaunt, is used in the Lord of the Rings story to describe a sort of giant, monstrous elephant creature.


Olifant is also the name of Roland's legendary trumpet or horn (probably of ivory) in The Song of Roland.
