deeper meaning/more info: greetings (can also be used for goodbye) literally: a request to "accept with greatest pleasure" literally: "here" literally: "would you grant ?" literally: "can you do ?" literally: "proceed"
literally: "it pains me greatly" literally: "I regret" literally: "may I pass?"
literally: "with the favor of (the fathers)" / Note: last part is often ommited.

used when annoucing yourself when entering someones home, litteraly means "bodies (people)" - short form of from "people are here" - note the word "mountain" and "body (person) are the same words in Khuzdul
a traditional dwarven blessing safe travels think before you act / do not teach the master family and halls above merriment
A dwarf that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good. Trust is a rare treasure, hand it out scarcely and honor those that give it to you A dwarf that chooses to take a wife must guard her as his greatest treasure Rejoice not when an elf falls - but don't rush to pick him up either. What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth. Worries go down better with Ale than without. May Mahal keep you and mithril find you! Do not give lesser hails nor lesser bows, as you will not gather greater friends.
