Dwarves are incredibly secretive, and are careful to never speak their language around outsiders. Thus, Khuzdul (Dwarvish) is mostly unknown by Elves and Men. Your beautiful name, Kóna, is a precious secret, its meaning kept hidden and known only by those with whom you are closest. Wear it with honor, for it has come down to you since the days of Durin and is sacred among your people.
