G-i-P Report: A Dwarvish phrase and the languages in the movie dialogs
Watch the fragment of this material, the moment at 5:38. We hear there something like Khuzdul Ni ikred fund which seems to mean ‚Never trust an Elf’. Do you agree? Can you help us to analyze it?
Yesterday evening we were to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey premiere in Galway, Ireland. The movie is splendid! And there is much more linguistic material in it than in each part of The Lord of the Ring trilogy. We could hear a lot of Sindarin (Imladris dialogs of Lindir, Elrond, Galadriel), some Quenya (Radagast’s spell in Rhosgobel), a lot of Neo Black Speech (especially when Azog was talking to his Goblins) and some Dwarvish. We need time to record, transcribe and analyze this material, but we expect you, the members of the Gwaith, would help us. So, help us, please!
G-i-P stands for Gwaith-i-Phethain, ‘The Fellowship of the Word-smiths’ or the linguistic website devoted to post-Tolkienian constructions in the “reconstructed” languages of Middle-earth [link].

Może IKRED jest wymyślone na drodze inspiracji łacińskim (i pojawiający się w innych językach europejskich) CREDO – WIERZĘ. Przedrostek I może oznaczać wtedy drugą osobę liczby pojedynczej, a może to oznaczenie imperatywu. NI znaczyłoby wtedy NIGDY, albo NIE. FUND pasuje na rzeczownik oznaczający Elfa, może skutkiem kontaktów z częstym w rodzie Finwego rdzeniem FIN? (bardzo naciągane, wiem).

Kemmuel, you analysis is very interesting. I wonder if they will publish a book about the languages in the Jackson’s movies. It would be great to receive the information from David Salo and the language coaches about the process of the adaptation of Tolkien’s languages for the movies.
