thread_title:  Is this relevant? 

message: I'm interested in finding out about the most thourough development of Khuzdul.  I'm interested in developing it into a fully-functional language, or at least finding out about the attempts thus far at that (ljrogers@mtu.edu).  Is there anyone of enough enthusiasm out there to contact me and lead me to or through "the bibliography"?  You know, past attempts, fan word lists, etc.  And if you would like to give me lessons in it, I'd be willing to listen and/or learn.  If anyone wants the same for Marc Okrand's Atlantean, I will gladly provide it.  Kwam pagonos.  Free of charge.  Maybe I'll try Zompist and LangMaker later on.

thread_title:  Here Goes Nothing 

message: This is original research, so I'm not putting it in the article, but I have a theory. The most obvious phrase, and one of the only terms in Khuzdul that is not a placename and yet is repeated in the trilogy (suggesting it to be original material) is Baruk khazâd. This sounds a lot like a phrase that initiates many Jewish prayer sequences in Hebrew: אתה ברוך, meaning "blessed art thou", and transliterated as barúkh atá (pronounced /baˌʁuχ aˈta/). In all the cantorial tunes I've heard it sung in, the last syllable of that phrase is held the longest, just like how the last syllable of the phrase in Khuzdul has a long vowel mark. So it's just an idea, but I have a feeling it could be accurate. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:42, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree there's every likelihood that Tolkien was influenced (consciously or not) by the sound of the word ברוך, but what more can we say than that? —Tamfang (talk) 01:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

text: I like the theory! Tolkien did what he thought was beautiful, and later, if possible, tried to explain it ethymologically. Cf. Moria. Thanks for the tip, and the praise for my article! I have revised it several times since publication, but have not had the time to republish it. Leongut (talk) 06:50, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

text: Interesting theory indeed. For what it's worth, it made me add some references to the text about Hebrew connections in the article. De728631 (talk) 21:00, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  A little original research 

message: The article claims "A small amount of material on Khuzdul phonology and root modifications has survived which is yet to be published." and the citation is from over 15 years ago. Is there any update to this, for instance in Parma Eldalamberon or Vinyar Tengwar? 218.215.39.157 (talk) 01:43, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
