Khuzdul

Is there a Khuzdul name for truesilver? "Mithril" is an Elvish word and I doubt that Dwarves would want to call it that. I don't have a copy of LOTR handy to check, however. If there is info about this, the article should mention it. 2601:644:8581:75B0:0:0:0:DA2D (talk) 01:51, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
