Thumbs up

I did some research on the term Tarks and i had come to conclusion which still i need to question about. It is evident that in the Western dialect there were many words taken from Elvish that were twisted in Orkish use. One of those was the Quenya word 'tarkil', meaning the Dunedain. In the Orc usage this became Tark, a word of contempt for the men of Gondor.
Well i worded it a bit different to the Barrow Wight (which i hope nobody takes any offence of) but i knew a bit of background of the orkish language so i just had to post.
