I would have thought it obvious that someone who can craft such an authentic comic strip such as DCI has deeply studied elfin and orcish lore and language etc. :cool:

More or less (though my accent has a touch of orc to it). Image

I just use the Tolkien's appendices, notes and a few web sites to help muddle through.

Tancave, henion nadath peth. Image Translation: Yes, I understand most of the words.

Quite correct. I'm glad someone appreciates it. :)

P.S. With Tolkien use elven instead of elfin (he hated it when his editors used elfin). Image

I just love elven, although I never quite studied it in detail, I have done so with the dwarven used in Warhammer, those who know what my name really mean could have guessed this ;)

Khazâd ai-mênu This is actually Middle earth dwarvish, and is part of Gimli's battle cry used in Helm deep

Okay, I won't get all the dialogue until I see TTT again in a couple of days, I remembered part of it (It's a reworking of lines from the novel).

Gimli: "Most have seen too many winters."
Legolas: "Or too few."

Not much I'll grant you, but I'll have the rest soon.

Better late than never, here's the whole scene for you, Azmodan. Image

Aragorn: Farmers, farriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers.
Gimli: Most have seen too many winters.
Legolas: Or too few. Look at them. They’re frightened. I can see it in their eyes. Boe a hûn: neled herain dan caer menig (And they should be... Three hundred against ten thousand).
Aragorn: Si beriathar hýn. Amar nâ ned Edoras (They have more hope of defending themselves here than at Edoras).
Legolas: Aragorn, men i ndagor. Hýn ú-... ortheri. Natha daged aen (We are warriors. They cannot win this fight. They are all going to die).
Aragorn: Then I shall die as one them!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of Kayless' words;
he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of spam are stored;
he hath loosed the fateful lightning of his spamtastic swift sword;
his spam is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His spam is marching on.
