Oh darn it! I forgot to bet.

Oh well. Let this be a lesson to you all...

For 2 points: What is the dwarves' battle cry and what does it mean?

I'll bet two points and say "Khazad! Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!" meaning "Dwarves! Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"- this is from the Appendix.

Or do you mean the one from Gimli's shout at Helm's Deep- "Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ai-menu!" ("Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!")?

Correct! It's the second one that I had in mind (and that is in the appendix also). Carry on!

Sorry for such an easy question- I can't think of a harder one at the moment

I'll take the points I can get...

I bid 1 point: Fundin.

Yep

Firefoot · 06-11-2004, 12:00 PM

Not really.
