Khand-Moria-Carn dum coincidence - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was messing around with the Atlas of Middle Earth and i noriced something peculiar. Take a strait edge. Khand, Khazad0dum and Carn Num are on this line, somewhat. Is this a coincidence? Probably. Why would the witch king's realm, the gratest dwarf kingdom, and a smaller ally of mordor be connected? There could be speculation.

Language. Kuzdul is not know fluently by anybody besides dwarves, but we no it is rough, almost harsh. Carn dum-khazad dum. Carn could origanally be karn. dum means halls. perhaps that meant a colony off of near by gundabad before angmar showed up? Khand, too has the'kh' motif of kuzdul. Like carn dum, it is in the area of the enemy. The mountains that strike out NE from the mountains of shadow in the area of khand give for the geographic possibility of a dwarf city. Besides the longbeards, brodbeams and firebeards, there are four other dwarf fathers left, and they appeared in pairs. Tolkien didnt mean any of this, but it sure shows possibility. I just thought this was interesting. What do you think?
