Khuzdul? Yes. Gimli cursed at Haldir in Lothlórien and he also spoke it at Balin's tomb.

Hello,
Here is the curse that Haldir mentioned.
"Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul" which means "I spit on your grave"

There is also a number of songs in the movies with Khuzdul (neo/pseudo Khuzdul) sung therein. Rather then list all of the songs here there are a few websites you can go to where you can find them. The first is R. Derzinski's site http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/language.htm and a second is the site for the soundtracks themselves http://www.lordoftherings-soundtrack.co ... plete.html Just look for the annotated Scores which are available in PDF format.

Enjoy!

Unforunitally Khuzdul has a very small lexicon (well in what has been published anyway) and I don't think that Tolkien ever made words for "Hello" or "Goodbye" If anyone knows of any I'd love to see them :bounce: . Helge Fauskangers article (link below) would be the best essay/source of information I've seen thus far.

Well, I know pretty much most of the Khuzdul(dwarvish) that is published, so if you want any translations, I'l see what I can find up for you.

and strangely enough, there is a word for no(lu) and not a word for yes......
