After much thought and consideration, I have decided to make a permanent change to how the Dwarrow Scholar project operates. Effective immediately, all Dwarrow Scholar Neo-Khuzdul lessons, grammar resources, and educational materials, both past and future, are now completely FREE for everyone.
Over the years, this project has grown far beyond what I originally imagined. What began as a personal fascination became a community effort involving learners, readers, researchers, and Tolkien enthusiasts from around the world. Because of that, I have come to believe that the best and only future for this work is one where it remains freely accessible to everyone who wishes to learn from it.
My goal has always been the preservation, development, and sharing of Neo-Khuzdul. By removing all paywalls, I hope to help ensure that this work remains available to both current and future generations of learners.
Patreon will remain the primary home of the course, with new lessons, downloads, grammar files, exercises, dictionaries, and supporting materials continuing to be released here. In the coming months, I will also begin releasing the lesson videos publicly on YouTube, allowing even more people to discover and learn the language. Furthermore, the website itself is currently undergoing an overhaul, which will include the addition of nearly 100 new and updated documents.
To everyone who has supported this project over the years, thank you. Your support helped fund the research, hosting, software, lesson creation, videos, voice actors, artwork, website development, and countless hours that made these resources possible. Quite simply, much of what exists today would not exist without you.
This work has never truly belonged to me alone. It has become part of a wider community of learners, enthusiasts, and friends, and I am incredibly proud of what we have built together.

@tolkienofcolourweek day seven | gender | gender among the sun-dwarves and their southern kin
All seven clans of the dwarves have distinct ideas of gender, some overlapping with their sister-clans and others with concepts unique to themselves. For dwarves, gender is a sacred personal identity, never assumed or assigned at birth, and rarely explained to non-dwarf outsiders. As a dwarf comes of age, they are expected to declare a gender, usually signified through some exterior symbol (such as a style of braiding or beading, dyed hair, or jewelry, depending on their clanâs customs). Sex is viewed as an entirely separate concept completely divorced from gender; as all dwarves are bearded and most very stout, the traits mortal men use to distinguish sex do not apply. Gender is indicated to others through dress and symbolism, but sex is a private matter between oneâs self and oneâs procreative partner, should the circumstance arise, and rarely of concern otherwise.
The Longbeards and the Blue-dwarves of the West are the most inclined to interact with other species, and have borrowed some of their gender concepts from those other kindreds; the Stiffbeards of the North are deeply isolated and secretive with their ideas of gender; but the Sun-dwarves of the East and the Ironfists of the South share certain similarities in understanding, and are most inclined to trade with one another, leading to a shared kinship between the three, for the Ironfists have long been sundered from their sister-clan of the Stiffbeards.
Among the Sun-dwarves of the East, there are three primary gender categories: khulz (male), zain (female), and zatakhuzdĂ»n (self-made; often abbreviated as zatak). Roughly two-fifths of the population identify as khulz, another two-fifths as zain, and the final one-fifth as zatak. In the Blacklock clan, these genders are largely personal identities with little bearing on social status or ability, treated more as a culmination of spiritual exploration than as a marker of oneâs place in Blacklock culture.
The Stonefoot clan shares these genders, but has in addition seven secondary genders, deeply connected to a dwarfâs chosen craft. These are zaraz (wood), aban (stone), zirin (iron), kheled (glass), ubraz (gold), kibil (silver), and urus (fire). Each secondary gender fulfills a specific role in Stonefoot society, and these genders may change over time if a dwarf moves from one craft to another. Indeed, the ubraz gender is inherently a gender one must achieve through time and experience in a leadership role. A Stonefoot dwarf may also have multiple secondary genders, should they be accomplished in more than one craft, though this is rare.
The Ironfist dwarves, once close to their sister-clan the Stiffbeards, but sundered from them for many generations due to the collapse of their home-range the Mountains of the Wind, lost much of their culture and lore in the disaster that forced them southward to the Yellow Mountains. This included many of the gender concepts now fiercely guarded by the Stiffbeards, even from them, and amid their struggles the Ironfists developed a system of a singular gender: khazad, simply meaning âdwarf.â They view all dwarves to be unified in gender under Mahal their maker, with divisions into various identities as a frivolity reserved for other cultures. Yet as they reconnected with other dwarvish kindreds, this construct of uniform gender relaxed somewhat, with many younger Ironfists adopting the many genders of the Stonefoots and Blacklocks. Still, the khazad gender remains significant and nearly universal among the Ironfist clan, with other gender identifiers accepted as additions to the base identity of khazad.

A full image description is available in alt text. Below is a transcript of the text in each image.
Gender among the Blacklock Dwarves
khulz || male
zain || female
zatakhuzdûn || embodiment of oneself; abbrev. zatak
Gender among the Stonefoot Dwarves.
zaraz || wood
Among the Stonefoot Dwarves, there are three primary genders and seven secondary genders. The primary genders are shared with their sister clan, the Blacklocks: khulz (male), zain (female), and zatakhuzdûn (self-made). A Stonefoot Dwarf's secondary gender is related to their chosen craft. Zaraz, wood, is the gender of foresters, hunters, travelers, carpenters, and others who interact primarily with the natural world.
zirin || iron
Zirin, iron, is the gender of smiths. If one works in a forge, one is most likely zirin, regardless of whether one is a blacksmith, whitesmith, silversmith, jewelsmith, etc. Zirin is the most common gender among the Stonefoot Dwarves.
kheled || glass
Kheled, glass, is the gender of glassblowers, dyers, weavers, sculptors, painters, and others who work with ceramics or fibers. Anything to do with sand, clay, or thread is associated with kheled dwarves, who tend to prefer vibrant colors and colorful homes.
aban || stone
Aban, stone, is the gender of stonecutters, jewelers, builders, masons, and others who work primarily in stone or with the mountains themselves. Most aban dwarves are also khulz. Of all Stonefoot genders, aban dwarves are the most physically fit, and the most likely to bear multiple children.
ubraz || gold
Ubraz, gold, is the gender of guides and leaders. This gender must be earned and is generally reserved for elders within the Stonefoot clan. A dwarf may be ubraz and another secondary gender if they are a leader in their field. All dwarf-kings are ubraz, but other lesser lords do not necessarily qualify to claim this gender.
kibil || silver
Kibil, silver, is the gender of those who dedicate themselves to serving others, whether in a position of civil service, as a footman or maid, a bodyguard, or in special circumstances, a parent or caretaker. This is a highly esteemed gender, and is made up primarily of zain dwarves.
urus || fire
Urus, fire, is the gender of writers, actors, philosophers, musicians, and others whose craft is primarily of the spirit or soul. While most Stonefoot dwarves are passably good at one or more of these crafts, the true masters and devotees of spiritual creation are those who claim the gender urus. This gender is made up primarily of zatak dwarves, who necessarily have a deep connection to their self-made primary gender.
Gender among the Ironfist Dwarves.
khazad || dwarf
among the Ironfist dwarves, gender is mostly uniform and universal

Let me know if youâre interested in reading more along this storyline. <3
The bar was in chaos. Who knew who threw the first punch or why? Who cared? The place was overcrowded and humans were altogether the wrong kind of rowdy when they got some drinks in them. There were fists, furniture, and people flying everywhere. Dwalin usually liked a good brawl, but he had been fighting orcs for days as a convoy escort and he had really just wanted to drink some stout ale, smoke his pipe, and maybe discreetly ogle the barmaid with the fiery hair and great rack.Â
