Gimli's Warcry [Baruk Khazad!]
Phil Vogel
Where might I find Gimli's warcry in LotR?
It is something to the effect of "Baruk Khazad! Khazad something ameinu!"
and I think it means "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"
Please let me know where it is in the books if you remember...thanks!
Also, I remember hearing in one of the movies part of a verse, "in Imladris
it dwells", probably said by Gandalf. I'm pretty sure it was also in the
books, so let me know if you remember that one as well...
TIA! :D

Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Rind to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
- J.R.R. Tolkien
"Lord of the Rings"

Don't have the books handy, but I'm pretty sure he yells it in "The Two
Towers", when Theoden's army (with Gimli) break the siege of Helm's
Deep.
JRRT also quotes the war-cry, and translates it, in the appendices, on
the section on Dwarven language-- he notes that it is one phrase of the
secret language that Dwarves were willing to say among outsiders.

Actually, Boromir says it, in "The Council of Elrond". He describes
having a dream where he hears a voice say, "Seek for the sword that was
broken / In Imladris it dwells / ...". (I think there's an "Index of
Poems (By First Lines)" at the end of all editions of RotK; you can look
it up there.

Robert Engeln
Seek for the Sword that was Broken:
In Imladris it dwells.
There shall councils be taken;
stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
that Doom is near at hand.
For Isildur's Bane shall waken
And the Halfling forth shall stand.
FotR, p323

***It's in the Two Towers, thirth book, chapter 7
I know this because it is one of the few words of Dwarvic in the
books! (For I was NOT kidding, Giampaolo!)
"Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!"

Actually, the language of the Dwarves is called 'Khuzdul'...
Tolkien cites this piece of Khuzdul [one of the few published] in Appendix F
of LotR (found in _Return of the King_) under the Dwarves section...
