Source: The Lord of the Rings, book III, chapter 7. Translated in Appendix F. The English pronoun you is ambiguous between singular and plural, but a gloss in The War of the Rings, p. 20, states that mênu is an accusative plural second person pronoun.
Dwarves had two different pronunciations for r: some used a trill, others used a back or uvular R, a sound that the Elves found distasteful. We have used a trill for this record.
