 Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul!
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

There is another instance in which Khuzdul is used; during the journey through Moria, when Gimli sees the tomb of Balin, he says:
“Kilmin malur ni zaram kalil ra narag. Kheled-zâram... Balin tazlifi.”
Know what this means, anyone? Because I don't, (partially). Here's what I do know:
zaram=lake
narag=black
Kheled-zaram=Glass-lake
Balin=Balin

EXTRA LESSONS WITH SNAPE -what on earth had he done to deserve this?
Amazing, how much more difficult it was to extend his arm tvelve inches and touch her hand than it was to snatch a speeding Snitch from midair.
There are more qoutes in my profile.
