“Forgive me mymiddleearth.com, for it has been over a month since my last post”, I whispered through the lattice. 😉
Though on the bright side I’ve been using the past month or so for quite some items you’ll be finding on the blog in the very near future.
One of those items is related to our neo-khuzdul lessons.
As most no longer have access to the khuzdul tools (due to linking problems), or find the tools to heavy for their PCs, I’ve made 2 PDF dictionaries for all Lotro dwarves to download and use.
Some points to take into account concerning these:
* This is a Beta version – meaning that some items might not be included as yet.
* As the other lessons, the content is based on a) Tolkien’s writings b) David Salo’s writings c) Khuzdul Vocabulary used in Lotro d) Adunâic e) Modern day semitic languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.
* These documents do not contain information related to conjugation, tenses, systems or word order.
Search Tip: As these are in PDF, the easiest way to search is simpy to use CRTL-F and type what you need.
Other documents, previously embedded in “the Khuzdul Tools (part of the Neo-Khuzdul lessons)” will also be available via pdf soon.
The Dwarrow Scholar 
Yep… I tried to find the rude words. xD
But seriously, amazing work, very fun and informative to read through, must have taken a damn long time!

This is actually part of a much larger project that has been several months in the making, of which I’ll be posting more soon… but thank you so much, glad you like it.
About those rude words, there are few… but you’ll have more luck with the expressions list (to be posted soon). 🙂

Is there a way you could make these files available without going through Scribd ? They keep asking me to sign up as some kind of “premium user” to download the files. Meaning it would cost me money to get them.
I don’t really like Scribd, and don’t want to sign up for them just to download a couple of files.
Any other way to get them ?

Do you need an e-mail for me so you can send the documents – which I would really, really enjoy. We have a lot of Dwarf characters in our Middle-Earth roleplay.

Actually – and this goes for all that sign up here – you really don’t need to provide me with an email address. As long as the email address you used to register on mymiddleearth is still valid you are ok. As I can see the email address of the registered user when he/she posts a comment. So no need to share your email address with all if you don’t feel like it.

LOVE the dictionary, but does Khuzdul have any words like “Want, desire, have, need, do, must, my, trust, give, take” etc?
LikeLike
Hello, thank you for the kind words.
Yes, like any language Khuzdul has verbs, “want, desire, need, trust, etc.. “. Trust for instance uses the radicals “KRT”. Meaning that all words related to trust use these radicals. Examples: “(the) trust” = “akrât” / “never trust an elf” = “nî ikirit fund”. Some words however like “must”, “shall”, “will”, “may” or “can”, are auxillary verbs and are added to the verb stem. For instance = “The Lord can trust us” = “Uzbad katakrutimâ”. “katakrutimâ” consists of “ka-” (can) + “ta-” (3rd person singular) + “kruti” (imperfect stem) + “mâ” (us). So, it isn’t a simple translation unfortunately to translate auxillary verbs such as “can”, “will/shall”, etc… . Note: This kind of information will be included in the updated dictionaries. Hope that answers your question Sarra.
