DwimmerlaikA contemptuous title for the Lord of the Nazgûl"Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!"
Éowyn's challenge to the Lord of the Nazgûl
from The Return of the King V 6 The Battle of the Pelennor Fields An archaic name representing a word in the language of the Rohirrim. It means 'phantom' (or, literally, 'sorcerous illusion'), with the same word for 'sorcery' also appearing in Dwimordene ('wood of sorcery', a name for Lórien) and Dwimorberg (the 'Haunted Mountain'). Éowyn defiantly granted this title to the Lord of the Nazgûl during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. For acknowledgements and references, see the Disclaimer & Bibliography page.
