The short answer is that "banakil" is the Westron word for "halfling".
The long answer is that when I joined LJ, it was for LOTR fandom. I wanted to be a hobbit but there were already so many names with "hobbit" in them and I wanted to be slightly more original. So I flipped to the appendix of LOTR dealing with languages and came up with banakil. Yay! for obscure literary references.
