The Dwarrow Scholar English / Neo-Khuzdul Dictionary http://dwarrowscholar.wordpress.com/ 1 Preface and Acknowledgments The Dictionary of the Dwarves, though written by myself, represents the direct and indirect efforts of a number of people. The books of J.R.R. Tolkien, created a profound love in me for his secondary world known as Middle-Earth, a world that has enchanted me since childhood. The words of Professor Tolkien have planted both a seed of interest for the dwarves, as for languages in my heart. It is thus as a humble tribute to the genius of Professor Tolkien I have endeavoured to map and expand the existing Khuzdul, resulting in these Neo-Khuzdul dictionaries. A grand thank should also go to the tremendously kind and supportive people at Legendarium Media who have continued to support me in my Dwarven endeavours. I also wish to express my appreciation to linguist David Salo (responsible for the Neo- Khuzdul as used in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies) for taking the time to answer my many emails, for making available his website midgardsmal.com, respectively, and for his time to discuss with me his views on the dwarvish language. I wish to thank my wife, my family, my friends and the academic community, as well as the many visitors of The Dwarrow Scholar blog who have continuously encouraged me throughout this long project and expressed a keen interest in the dictionary and support documentation. Introduction to the Dictionary 1. Purpose. The Dictionary of the Dwarves is the first full dictionary of Neo-Khuzdul by The Dwarrow Scholar, a dictionary intended as a resource for the Fantasy-RP community, as for fans and enthusiasts of the dwarves of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium. The rather technical linguistic details common in mondern day dictionaries have been kept to a minimum. The dictionary is provided in two versions; English/Neo-Khuzdul and Neo-Khuzdul/English. The dictionary is viewed as a companion to other Neo-Khuzdul support documents, that can be found via The Dwarrow Scholar blog. The grammatical descriptions given in this dictionary are brief and limited to that necessary to use the dictionary. 2. General organization of the dictionary and support documents. The accompanying support documents provide a general introduction to the alphabet and pronunciation of Neo-Khuzdul, in addition to a closer look at the grammatical constructions of the language. The dictionary has been sorted on the alphabet as used in most Western countries, such as England and the United States. The support documents are numbered in order of finalization, which results in a somewhat random final order. 3. Information on phonetics. No dictionary can record all possible ways people may pronounce words. Dictionaries may attempt to give the most common pronunciations, but this certainly does not mean that other pronunciations by others are wrong. Phonetic transcriptions are in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), these are a guide. The phonetics used in this dictionary are a personal interpretation of what I believe Khuzdul would sound like, chiefly based on the limited original Tolkien documentation concerning Khuzdul pronunciation. Even though the speakers of Khuzdul in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth represent a small speech community, there are variations in the pronunciation of some words among the seven clans. Of course, as we all know about English dialects, people in one region of the country speak differently from people elsewhere, younger people may speak differently from older people, and sometimes even men and women speak differently. Though the dictionary offers phonetic pronunciations per entry, it only shows the Longbeard pronunciation, as opposed to other variants of Eastern and Western Clans. Yet, I have attempted to record the variant pronunciations of Khuzdul in the support documentation. 4. Sources of the data. Although the primary source of information on the language of the Dwarves is Professor J.R.R Tolkien, a number of linguists, linguistic amateurs and enthusiasts have directly or indirectly contributed extensively to the vocabulary of this neo-khuzdul dictionary. Though I have used all canon resources available to me I must emphasise that a very small portion of this dictionary is Tolkien original Khuzdul, while the vast majority is not, hence the usage of the term "Neo-Khuzdul". --- By The Dwarrow Scholar - Your source for all things Dwarven --- The Dwarrow Scholar English / Neo-Khuzdul Dictionary http://dwarrowscholar.wordpress.com/ 2 7 .

In select instances abbreviations have been used, mainly concerning the origin of the word, or to emphasise the form of the word with such entries that have a double meaning in English. • Mas. - Masculine • Fem. - Feminine • pl. - Plural (mainly used with uncountable nouns in English that are countable in Khuzdul) • adj. - Adjective (mainly used with words that have identical noun and adjective forms in English, example: "cold", yet do not in Khuzdul) • Ereb. - Ereborism: A word that originated with the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain. Though chiefly used in this region gradually its meaning spread and is now considered classical khuzdul. May have links with elvish or the tongues of men. • Occi. - Occidentalism: A word that originated with the dwarves of the Blue Mountains and the lands to the West of the Misty Mountains. Though chiefly used in this region gradually its meaning spread and is now considered classical khuzdul. May have links with elvish or the tongues of men. • Oroc. - Orocanism: A word that originated with the dwarves of the Red Mountains and the lands to the East of Middle Earth. Though chiefly used in this region gradually its meaning spread and is now considered classical khuzdul. May have links with elvish or the tongues of men. • EredM. - Eredmithrinism: A word that originated with the dwarves of the Grey Mountains. Though chiefly used in this region gradually its meaning spread and is now considered classical khuzdul. May have links with elvish or the tongues of men. • Anc. - Of ancient/unknown origins: A word with unknown or ancient origins. May have links with elvish or the tongues of men. • MV - Moria Variant - (LoTRO reason) With the arrival of several colonists from the Blue Mountains, the influence of Blue Mountain Khuzdul (BMK) has been quite prominent among the brave new settlers of Moria. Especially on newly made maps (often made by Firebeard colonists skilled in map making). As such place names found on maps in Moria are often a Moria Variant (MV) (original BMK or a mixture of Classical Khuzdul (CK) and BMK). In the dictionaries both the CK and MV versions have been listed. MV is used for place-names mainly and as such cannot be seen as an independent dialect. (actual reason): Some of the words used for place-names in LoTRO either did not fit my internal language structure for neo-khuzdul, or broke one (or more) rules of the language as J.R.R. Tolkien had devised. Hence these needed to altered to still fit with the rest of this neo-khuzdul version. • ❷ - Secondary Meaning • ❸ - Tertiary Meaning • ...* / *.... Indicates a plural meaning (Example: 'ukhzar = greater fury, greatest anger, greater rage... - has been noted in this dictionary as "greater / greatest anger* (*fury, rage)" 6. About the Dwarrow Scholar: Roy first experienced the brilliance of Tolkien when he received a copy of The Hobbit from his uncle as a kid, reading it feverishly again and again. When Roy isn’t delving into neo-khuzdul or searching for lost dwarven treasures on the net he’s enjoying time with his wife and son, re-reading his tormented Tolkien paperbacks, watching a good movie or playing a game of LoTRO on Laurelin as the dwarf named Kandral Strongbeard. --- By The Dwarrow Scholar - Your source for all things Dwarven --- The Dwarrow Scholar English / Neo-Khuzdul Dictionary http://dwarrowscholar.wordpress.com/ 3 English Phonetics Neo-Khuzdul Angerthas Moria Angerthas Erebor a little (little bit) [Adverb indicating Degree (haCuCul) / Adverb] [hɑmʊmʊl] hamumul fc6S6Sa fc6S6Sa aah!
