Hello! Thanks for all the hard work expanding the language! Anyways, I was wondering whether you made any efforts to translate the names of the other dwarf clans (Firebeards, Broadbeams, Ironfists, Stiffbeards, Blacklocks, & Stonefoots; also Dourhands from LOTRO) and Thorin III's nickname Stonehelm? If so, what are the translations, please?
Well met Anon,
I have indeed translated the names of all seven dwarvish clans, you can find them in the dictionary available via the dwarrowscholar site. For your convenience I’ve included an easy overview below.
[Singular (Plural) Translation]
Sigin-targ (Sigin-tarâg*) Longbeard
‘Urs-targ ('Urs-tarâg) Firebeard
Fant-nuhbu (Fant-nuhûb) Broadbeam
'Aban-basn ('Aban-basân) Stonefoot
Narag-zant (Narag-zanât) Blacklock
Mebel-targ (Mebel-tarâg) Stiffbeard
Zirin-mazn (Zirin-mazân) Ironfist
*Original Khuzdul from J.R.R Tolkien.
The seven houses of the Khazâd by Artigas
As for LoTRO’s “Dourhands”, though not a clan in their own right (as there are only seven clans), this was also added to the dictionary some years ago:
Durthu-rathkh (Durthu-rathâkh) Dourhand
As for the epithet “Stonehelm”, this would be ‘Aban’azghbund, from the elements:
‘Aban (stone)
‘Azghbund (helm - lit. “war-head”)
Ever at your service,
