 ===== Translation into Nûrlâm ===== ===== Translation into Nûrlâm =====
 For the sake of meter, Nûrlâm version is translated "Nuk honk uruk" ("Ten Orc-brothers"). It hardly could be sung exactly to Die Streuner's song without some melody alternation. Also some causes of death and numbers were swapped for better rhyme (Dwarf and Ent encounter). Broomstick ride ended with drowning in a lake instead of crashing into the wall, other lines were re-phrased a little less. The joke in the last line wasn't preserved as "fuck" and "female" ("Fick" & "Frau" in German) do not start with the same letter in Nûrlâm. "Socks/stockings" was translated as "foot-wrap". "Glycol" was replaced "Glu kulâ..." (literally translated as "Piss is...", also wrong tense here -- Present instead of Past). Almost all 3rd person verb endings were dropped, many clitic postpositions became prepositions.  For the sake of meter, Nûrlâm version is translated "Nuk honk uruk" ("Ten Orc-brothers").
