Taking Note

My piece for the DinLuke Big Bang 2023, based on Taking Note by @tastytaboo. Their work it's sweet, romantic and funny and brilliant, go read it right now if you haven't already!

This is my first time participating in a Big Bang and a fandom event in general, so I was really nervous Luckily, Tabs got my back since the beginning, being always kind and patient and supportive, plus their story has been a real delight to illustrate, I really couldn't have asked for a better first experience I hope you'll enjoy our works too!

Summary

“Han and Leia are getting married!”

Din hums, tilting his head back.

Han had proposed to Leia an alleged twenty times since they met. Twice jokingly in passing comments. Once honestly, which she accepted. And allegedly, seventeen times as an apology for a fight they had gotten into.

A HanLeia wedding featuring DinLuke as their best men, a slightly Momzilla Padmé Amidala, an adorable 8yo Grogu, and more.

You remember Jane Austen? Yeah. I'm not gonna forget her in a hurry, am I? The brains behind the 1810 Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery. Brandy smuggler. Master spy. What a piece of work. She wrote books. Novels. Jane? Austen? Yes! Whoa, bit of a dark horse. Novels, eh? Yes. They were very good. Good Omens (2019-) || Pride and Prejudice (2005)

So I had this dream that in tonight episode of #TheLastOfUs you could spot Ellie reading a silly little comic about Din, Luke and Grogu. And I just had to. The scene is from my favorite series on Ao3 "Finding the lost and losing the found" by @deniigi , it's clever and funny and go read it.

Dear Dwarrow Scholar. Like many I suppose, I would like to ask for a translation that I have not quite been able to figure out myself. For quite some time, I've wanted to get the words "Loyalty, honor, a wiling heart" tattooed in Khuzdul. I found a translation of it on asktheoakenshieldbros, but I was wondering what you'd make of it (also in runes). A lot of thanks in advance!

Dear Anon,

Welcome!

I think I’ve already sent this through once, but for the life of me can’t find my earlier reply. Hence, I am of course obliged to answer in full. (with pleasure mind you).

The word “mudtu”, which refers to the heart in the morale sense could also be replaced by “kurdu”, though the latter is more applicable for the physical sense.

What “amnâdul” is concerned, that is directly derived from “amnâd”, meaning “will power”. As in English it may mean “quick to act or respond without the need of being persuaded”. Here we (like in most such cases) use the usual noun+adjective order. 

When it comes to tattoos I can’t stress this enough… 

Do take into account of that the above Neo-Khuzdul, is not original Tolkien Khuzdul (as there isn’t enough original material to translate even one word in this line). It obviously uses all that Tolkien published on the language, yet much of it are inventions of myself (and others such as linguist David Salo) based on an understanding of Tolkien’s work and Semitic Languages. It’s important that you understand that before you would have anything inked permanently on your skin.

Ever at your service,

The Dwarrow Scholar.

@oakenshieldbaggins I’m really hoping this isn’t insulting at all, and I don’t have the font on this computer, so that was just done from the illustrator template I use for rune creation, but I wouldn’t want you to regret your tattoo. 

The above says “imjid zaras-zu, itrid a’bur izdnu” which is Plant your trees, watch them grow, in khuzdul, using the Erebor Angtheras. (Hopefully @thedwarrowscholar will confirm my grammar is correct) If you need a new version, or you want one done with style or serifs on the runes, I’m happy to help.

Apologize if this comes rather late, but just noticed this.

Your translation was (very nearly) entirely correct. Three tiny remarks from me here. Seeing it is the word “trees” (plural) the translation needs to be “zarâs” (also plural). So adding a little line to your “a” in the Erebor script gives you a perfect translation. 

Other than that, you used the polite “izdnu”, which makes sense to me, so.. though there are other options, I would have gone with that one too. Also the zu would be attached to zarâs and not a separate word. And lastly (and this is a style choice really when it comes to tattoos), khuzdul uses a mid-single-dot instead of spaces between words and a triple-dot at the start and end of a line (see example above).

So, all-in-all a brilliant job on this translation!

Ever at your service,

Neo-Khuzdul in the flesh

Some time ago Laura got in touch with me to get a translation for a tattoo. 

I sent her the translation and transcription and obligatory heads-up about it being Neo-Khuzdul, she was happy with that and soon after receiving the translation she got the tattoo done.

Recently she showed me the result, a fantastic tattoo I must say!

The text reads in Moria script:

“Guide me Raven’s Wing I shall follow you home”

- or “Idninê Gaihûkark zâgjijizu azhâr”  in Neo-Khuzdul
