<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Is it dwarvish? Could not be a well know profanity in elvish? People often pick up the swear words first when dealing with other cultures. I'm sure there's someone out there that can answer this one. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well just because no on knows the language of the Dwarves doesn't mean they also wouldn't know the profanity of the Dwarves!<P>I mean I know a FEW curses other in the language I speak so why wouldn't Aragorn know Dwarf cursing when he hears it? Let's also remember everyone Aragorn has travelled extensively through the lands of Middle-Earth and through all his long travels I am sure he has heard some rather colorful <I>wording</I> so I am not surprised he understood Gimli...<P>And btw I am almost 100% positive it was in his own language that Gimli was cursing Haldir and his brothers with!
