Now that was a tough one! I did some serious Khuzdul pronunciation research (and I tried a bit of a dwarven accent, too [with limited success]). From Ariana Deralte's "The Bridge of (Khazad)'Doom": Wizened Old Man: Why are dwarf names so hard to pronounce? Gimli: Well... (He leans in and whispers to the old man. The old man looks at him.) Wizened Old Man: Really? (Gimli nods.) See you later then.
I'd love to know what he whispered! But it's fun to speculate...
Oh, but you did marvelously! I am so impressed. The research paid off. :)) And lol, I'd love to know what he whispered, too!
The way you read this, all the gravity and import of the bad news that Gloin has to share came through, and of course we eventually find out what happened to Balin and the others. *shivers*
You're more than welcome, Ellen; this is always such fun! And thank YOU so very much, for all your hard work in keeping this rolling and pulling everything together.
