'''Náli''' was a [[Dwarves of Erebor|dwarf of Erebor]].

==History==
Náli was part of [[Balin's Colony]] to reclaim [[Moria]]. Their mission at first seemed successful, and [[Balin]] went so far as to claim the title [[Lord of Moria]]. This all changed in their fifth year there. On November 10th, the [[Orcs]] came up the [[Silverlode]] and killed Balin while he was alone, and unaware and looking into [[Mirrormere]]. The Dwarves fought back but eventually lost [[East-gate]] and [[First Hall]].
The Orcs made it across the [[Bridge of Khazad-dûm]] and there was a [[Battle of the Second Hall|battle in the Second Hall]], and Náli and his companions [[Frár]] and [[Lóni]] died bravely while the rest of the colonists retreated.<ref>{{FR|Bridge}}</ref>

==Etymology==
''Náli'' is a dwarf from the ''[[Völuspá|Dvergatal]]''. His name most likely means "axle of a hand-mill".<ref>Chester Nathan Gould, "Dwarf-Names: A Study in Old Icelandic Religion", published in ''Publications of the Modern Language Association of America'', Vol 44 (1929), issue #4, pp. 939-967</ref>
