Thanks, Mithadan. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (Those quotes were confusing me on the site.)

Somebody on that forum noted that the Dwarves couldn't have been based on Jews because:
Quote:
Jews don't create thing they just take from others, while dwarfs where great builders. Read the book again.
Now, I know this argument can be negated very easily, so I won't even bother with that, but I have another question: was it only the language of the Dwarves that was based on Semitic languages, or the Dwarves themselves as well? :/
