I would've guessed smee-ah-GOL, too. But considering how perfect every word sounds in the movies (like Mean-Arse Morrrgul), I'd say that I was wrong, and not the movies. They seem to have put a LOT of time into the languages; they hired several dialogue coaches for the actors. I think it's one of the things the movies brought across perfectly. Shame not to hear more of Gimli's dwarvish, especially his battle-cry at Helm's Deep.<P>"A fair jaw-cracker Dwarf language must be!"
