In the Fellowship of the Ring, (in the Extended version) Gimli says to the Elf the phrase in Khuzdul (Dwarvish): "Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul!" Does anyone know what it means?

From what I have heard, some people think it's "A curse upon the Elves and their stiff necks!"


What do you think?

Known Khuzdul is very little, but I do know the following (pertinent to this text):
ai - Upon

I have no idea

Here is the correct translation.

gimli: Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul.

gimli: 'I spit upon your grave'


ishkhaqwi 'I spit'.

ai prep. 'upon', reduced form of aya (WR:20)

durugnul 'your grave'.

Really? That's really cool... how'd you know that?

I found it here:

But there's no translation for the second fraze.
