What insult does Gimli give in FoTR extended edition?
Any one know? I assume it's Sindarin he's speaking.

So was it elvish or dwarvish? I always thought it was dwarvish, which is why Aragorn was the only one who understood him, because Aragorn has traveled so much.

Gimli can't be speaking sinderin or elvish of any sort, remember he gets annoyed with legolas and aragorn speaking elvish because he can't understand
it has to be dwarvish, and the words sound more dwarve like than elf like to me!

If it was elvish, all of Lothlorien would have made him into a walking pincoushin.

Khudzul, I believe. Khazad is dwarvish for "dwarf".

Aragorn knew a lot, and not all Khuzdul was secret ("Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ameniu!") It might have been a well-known curse.
