Bark
Bark, pl. baruk, is a Khuzdul word which means "axe".
It is another example of "broken plurals" in Khuzdul, similar to "khuzd" and "khazâd".
Etymology
Root *B-R-K
It is possible that baruk is also a genitive case, meaning "axes of <something>" rather than just "axes". The phrase baruk Khazâd can be compared to a "construct pair" in Semitic languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic.
Example
- Baruk Khazâd! = "Axes of the Dwarves!"
