Wolf, in J.R.R. Tolkien's words

The Quenya words for wolf are narmo and ráca.

The Sindarin words for wolf are draug and garaf.

J.R.R. Tolkien also had words for werewolf. Fitting for a post on Halloween! The Quenya word for werewolf is nauro. In Sindarin guar is werewolf, gaurhoth is a group of werewolves, and gaurwaith is wolf-men.
