Until I hear otherwise, I'm going with a "Watership"

Question, Internet: the name for a group of rabbits- a la the rabbits from Watership Down- would be a...? I'm talking about this with a co-worker; we've rejected "hutch" or "warren" on the- completely spurious- grounds that that sounds more like the living place of rabbits, not the rabbits themselves apart from their living space. (The Internet says "colony" or "nest", which, to me, still denotes a living space :|)

Watership Down's author, Richard Adams, created a language for the rabbits, called Lapine. I'd just go with the way you'd say "rabbits" in that language.

According to this course it looks like that'd be "nayltil" (see "Plurals", page 29.4, and unit 4, page 29.7).

There may be some better word for "group", but I've already spent some time on this, and the language isn't really to my liking, and so I don't really feel like going much deeper into it.
