-The Chapter X: The Choices of Master Samwise of Book Three of "The Lord of the Rings" contains a famous lengthy dialogue of Shagrat, a captain at Tower of Cirith Ungol, and Gorbag, a captain at Minas Morgul (Dushgoi). Like Grishnakh in [[translations:ugluk_and_grishnakh|“The Uruk-Hai” chapter]] these Mordor's captains are capable of lengthy speeches and are aware of situation at war despite lack of official information from their masters.+The Chapter X: The Choices of Master Samwise of Book Four of "The Lord of the Rings" contains a famous lengthy dialogue of Shagrat, a captain at Tower of Cirith Ungol, and Gorbag, a captain at Minas Morgul (Dushgoi).

 The parts tricky for translations are monikers of Shelob ("Her Ladyship" => "Nab Dûrurmniz") and Gollum's ("Sneak" => "Hlighauk"). Gorbag also calls Shelob by her name (translated as "Ungniz" <wrap hi><todo>make a different translation easier to pronounce</todo></wrap>). I have left interjections untranslated even though some of them look like distorted English. The parts tricky for translations are monikers of Shelob ("Her Ladyship" => "Nab Dûrurmniz") and Gollum's ("Sneak" => "Hlighauk").

 | Shagrat | Now, now. I have my orders. And it’s more than my belly’s worth, or yours, to break ’em. //Any// trespasser found by the guard is to be held at the tower. Prisoner is to be stripped. Full description of every article, garment, weapon, letter, ring, or trinket is to be sent to Lugbúrz at once, and to Lugbúrz //only//. And the prisoner is to be kept safe and intact, under pain of death for every member of the guard, until He sends or comes Himself. That’s plain enough, and that’s what I’m going to do. | Zil, zil. Dabrus kazhumdab. Agh za makar snû tark dab thûnob, ogh fib, shotatul. //Kon// rogdal gimbaga dirnumirzi kulâ fîthat lugumor. Glûr kulâ gaigat.

 | Gorbag  | You’ll find that difficult. He’s nothing but carrion now. What Lugbúrz will do with such stuff I can’t guess. He might as well go in the pot. | Figimbub zîg khagarz.
