I beg to differ...I don't believe they would allow for ad-libs like that, except in the case of the Cry of Anguish after the Helmet Kick of Dumbness.<P>According to <A HREF="http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/movie_fotr.htm#ishkhaqwi" TARGET=_blank>this movie Elvish site</A>, he says Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul, which is translated "I spit on your grave." I do not know how technically accurate this is to Tolkien's original conception for the tongue of the Dwarves, but this is how it was intended for the movie.
