It's hell trying to learn the language! Joined Jan 12, Messages I think Xho should be pronounced as it is spelled. When you say 'x' as in the letter x, you pronounce it as 'eks', right?

Now, just try it without the 'e' in front, just the 'ks' part. So, Xho becomes kinda like 'kso'. Then stick an 'h' sound as in 'hand' or 'help' in the middle of the 'ks' and the 'o' sound, so it becomes 'ks-h-o', then practice and pronounce it really fast.

Your 's' sound should sound like as if you have a lisp. Then pronounce 'Xho' forcefully. Put your hand in front of your mouth and say 'Xho', you should feel a tiny blast of air on your hand.

In the Black Speech , the word uruk originally meant no more than ' Orc ', but in the later centuries of the Third Age , it took on a new meaning. At that time a new breed of soldier-orc appeared out of Mordor , larger and fiercer than any other kind, that came to be known as Uruks or in full Black Speech form Uruk -hai , literally meaning no more than ' Orc -people'.

By Orc standards, the Uruk-hai were large, approaching the height of a typical Man. They were also broadly built, with thick limbs and large hands, and their skin was black in colour. The Uruk-hai were in almost all ways superior to the lesser Orcs who preceded them. Not only were they larger and stronger, but they were also more disciplined and better trained, making them far more effective soldiers or commanders of the lesser Orc kinds. Where most Orcs could not stand the light of the Sun , the Uruk-hai could fight by day or by night.

The detailed origins of the Uruk-hai are uncertain.
