What insult does Gimli give in FoTR extended edition?

Beorndog · 06-15-2005, 01:23 PM

I think it was something about someone's mother being a hamster and father smelling of elderberries. Opps sorry wrong movie.

Gimli: "So much for the legendary courtesy of the Elves! Speak words we can also understand!"
Haldir: "We have not had dealings with the Dwarves since the Dark Days."
Gimli: "And you know what this Dwarf says to that? Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul!" (I spit upon your grave!)
Aragorn: "That was not so courteous."

I belive he says, 'I spit upon your grave."

Ribbons · 06-30-2005, 11:49 PM

Ops, you already said that. Sorry!

Curubethion · 09-06-2005, 09:46 PM

Yikes! That was pretty bad!

Acalewia · 09-10-2005, 05:09 PM

Well Dwarves do have a dislike for Elves, you know

Elanor · 09-10-2005, 05:35 PM

So was it elvish or dwarvish? I always thought it was dwarvish, which is why Aragorn was the only one who understood him, because Aragorn has traveled so much.

Acalewia · 09-10-2005, 06:02 PM

Its Dwarvish

King of The Istari · 09-21-2005, 03:28 PM

Gimli can't be speaking sinderin or elvish of any sort, remember he gets annoyed with legolas and aragorn speaking elvish because he can't understand

it has to be dwarvish,
and the words sound more dwarve like than elf like to me!

Curubethion · 09-21-2005, 10:36 PM

If it was elvish, all of Lothlorien would have made him into a walking pincoushin.

tolkienfan · 09-21-2005, 11:50 PM

I don't know about the walking part.

The Witch-King of Angmar · 09-23-2005, 01:12 AM

Isn't the Dwarvish toungue Khazad?

Curubethion · 09-23-2005, 09:52 PM

Khudzul, I believe. Khazad is dwarvish for "dwarf".

Then why did Aragorn turn round and say 'That was less than courteous'"
No body apart from the Dwarves can soeak Dwarvish.

Curubethion · 09-24-2005, 06:24 PM

Aragorn knew a lot, and not all Khuzdul was secret ("Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ameniu!") It might have been a well-known curse.
