How do they know how Dwarvish swearing sounds like? The only Dwarvish we have besides place names is 'Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd aimênu!' ('Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!).

I think I can picture dwarvish swearing! Perhaps he could just say 'Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd aimênu!' - I'd buy it.

Great. More Haldir. :)

He's going to be at Helm's Deep, too isn't he?

'Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd aimênu!'

That phrase sounds extremely Hebrew, which I believe was Tolkien's intent.
