Orc-greeting

The short “Orc-greeting” by “Andrew” (AN) was quoted by Elerrina in “Quettar” #16 (p.7):

 Gaakh Golug narkuu gimbubut lat 

which translates as:

 May Noldor never find you

So here are the table for extrapolated words:

English Black Speech Etymology and Comments
find gimbubut from TK “gimb” + AN “-ub” future tense suffix + AN “-ut” 3rd person plural suffix
may gâkh AN, calque from Quenya word “nai”
never narkû AN, from TK “nar” (not) and “kû” (old) (OC)1)
Noldor golug UT2)
you lat AN
1)
