Khuzd
From Tolkien Gateway
- Main article: Dwarves
Khuzd, pl. Khazâd, was the Khuzdul word for the "Dwarves".
Etymology[edit]
The word comes from the Root Kh-Z-D; it is also visible in the words Khuzdul and perhaps Nulukkhizdîn.
Derivatives[edit]
The plural form Khazâd is the basis of Quenya casar and Sindarin hadhod.
The Adûnaic word hazad, meaning "seven", is presumably also related.
Examples[edit]
Other versions[edit]
In earlier versions, the plural was Khuzûd.[1]
