====== The Monty Python And The Holy Grail ======
I've decided to translate a conversation about "strange women distributing swords" from "The Monty Python and the Holy Grail" movie because of connection to the popular [[translations:lotr_memes|meme]] with Aragorn, where it was rephrased. This may seem to be a challenge because of political terms, but actually Nûrlâm's dictionary already had many suitable words. 

===== Wordlist =====
I had to invent or derive the following words:
^ English ^ Nûrlâm ^ Etymology and comments ^

The name "Dennis" was not translated, but transliterated as "Dînîs" (taking in account Greek origin of the name, related to god Dyonysos). "Arthur" wasn't changed at all. 

"Bretons" were translated simply as "Tark" (Númenóreans, Gondorians).

"Samite" was translated with early Qenya word "samind" (silk), while in [[translations:herr_mannelig|Herr Mannelig]] "silk" was translated as "Bhârnazb" (lit. "moth-web").

===== The Translation =====

^ Character ^ English ^ Nûrlâm ^
| King Arthur | Old woman! | Nizkû! |

| Dennis      | Oh, king, eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever gonna be any progress... | Oh, arn, mar? Nîr sharz. Agh marz fisnabuz zîg, mar? Mogrug za bulal. Hinbug samburmu durburmuzgaukûrz thukûbaga amash goirâ za sorghurm rarkurmûrz agh shahaizûrz shahaizor dakob. Ghung kon drûkhurm kulguth milkon... |

| King Arthur   | Well, we all are. We're all Britons, and I am your king. | Bhog, dakûk kul. Dakûk kul Tark-hai, agh dakul arngib. |
| Peasant Woman | Didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. | Narîstuz dakbrusuz ash arn. Da ûsuz dak kuz ash shaukurm îmdurbûrz. | 
| Dennis        | You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working classes... | Fiprakhîm. Dak kîb ash mogurmor! Ash îmgoirug îmbalurm, amashor za bulûrz dhâr... |
| Peasant Woman | Oh, there you go, bringing class into it again. | Oh, fi ukh zîginu, thrakug dhâr zashi nokhar. |
| Dennis        | Well, that's what it's all about! If only people would-- | Bhog, zîg kul amash za ûk kul gus! Ghung tug hai kulg... |
| King Arthur   | //Please//, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? | //Dahas//, dahas, haibhog, dakhig. Mash kîb zîg goitor? |

| King Arthur   | Then who is your lord? | Dai mash kul gib mâgz? |
| Peasant Woman | We don't have a lord. | Daknarbrus ash mâgz. |
| King Arthur   | What? | Mash? |
| Dennis        | I told you, we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort of executive officer for the week... | Dagashnuzam, dak ash shaukurm shanardugh-gaidalûrz. Dakokt narzharz zurzalsi krampûrz furn udârshum... |
| King Arthur   | Yes... | Akh... |
| Dennis        | ... but all decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting... | ... ap prudhurmûk zîg zurzal maug tharat ash hogor krularz-udârsharz sharzash... | 
| King Arthur   | Yes, I see... | Akh, dakin... |
| Dennis        | ... by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs... | ash marmulsirzi ghung bild nâdûrz foigarz...  |
| King Arthur   | Be quiet! | Kul ghil! |
| Dennis        | ... but by a two thirds majority in the case of more... | ... ap krul krigûrz marmirzi ghung makar... |
| King Arthur   | Be quiet! I //order// you to be quiet! | Kul ghil! Da//kazh//am kulat ghil! |

| King Arthur   | You don't vote for kings. | Ginaromgok arnûr. |
| Peasant Woman | Well, how'd you become king, then? | Bhog, dai marz fithôluz arn? |
| King Arthur   | The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. //That// is why I am your king. | Dûrnizum Rinkumob, bazg nab pîlkaga samindumsha foigaz tindug, unruzâ talarz Gurdgrishal paldumbo nînob, tanug drothakurmirzi bâlûrz zamash da, Arthur, kuz kolat Gurdgrishal. //Zîgûr// dakul arngib. |
| Dennis        | Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. | Kazb. Nizrâz kâtug ainor sorkhug lag kulû nar bukh ash mogshrinkurmûr durburmob. Bal krampûrz talûrzaz sirâ ash kazhurmbo za haitbo, agh nar mûd dhak nînûrz dhîlautûrz. |
| King Arthur   | Be quiet! | Kul ghil! |
| Dennis        | You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! | Finarpâsh darbut gazgat bal krampûrz talûrzaz tug taitaga mûd hrupaukniz nînsi afuzâ ash lag fizu! |
| King Arthur   | Shut up! | Gukrîm! |
| Dennis        | I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! | Da idr, ghung da ukhulg kurnarz gashnug dakul ash durbal tug zîgah zamash mûd mizgaga nizdauk sornuzâ ash naig dazu, tak gaithulgiz bo! |
| King Arthur   | Shut up! Will you shut up?! | Gukrîm! Fimargukrubîm? |
| Dennis        | Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system! | Ah, zil dak kin gorurm hinbug mogshrinkhurmishi! |
| King Arthur   | Shut up! | Gukrîm! |
| Dennis        | Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed! | Oh! Skât agh kin gorurm hinbug mogshrinkhurmishi! |
| King Arthur   | Bloody Peasant! | Ghorûrz snaga! |
| Dennis        | Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you? | Oh, amash traumurm! Fimarkozuz zîg? Fimarkozuz zîg, oh? Zîg kulâ gus amash dagashn! Fimarkin zamash takrusanguziz? Fikinuzan, mar? |
