Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! was a Khuzdul battlecry.
History
Though the battle-cry was much older, the first recorded use was in the Battle of the Hornburg:
But a small dark figure that none had observed sprang out of the shadows and gave a hoarse shout: Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! An axe swung and swept back. Two Orcs fell headless. The rest fled.[1]
Later, Gimli gave some variations on the battle-cry: Khazâd! Khazâd! and Khazâd ai-mênu!.
Etymology
The cry is translated "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!".[2]
