Where exactly was Éomer riding north to in TTT? Why does PJ appear playing two different and obvious characters in the movies? Ditto, his children?<P>We could always suppose that Aragorn doesn't understand Dwarvish, and that he was just saying in general that Gimli wasn't being very nice. Not likely, though.<P>I don't think Tolkien himself invented many words of Dwarvish, let alone complete grammar. I think they probably just used similar sounding words. I'd be interested to know whether it's an actual language or just gibberish. John Rhys-Davies is Welsh, right? Maybe it's Welsh! I just hope it's not Klingon...
