Orcish-English-Russian dictionary was updated with a few clarified etymologies and new words from MERP (mostly related to weapons).

Orcish / Black Speech in Amazon's “The Rings of Power” series — Season 2

This post will contain Orcish names and phrases from the second season of “The Rings of Power” series. Check my previous article about the first season. Many thanks to Bear McCreary for his blog shedding light on the languages of Middle-Earth used in the show's songs.

I like that Black Speech is now featured in almost every episode.

I do not publish the full wordlists because the information isn't complete (probably, it will not be until the end of the show) and I'm not good at recognizing the sounds of language I don't know.

Also, now it's confirmed that the translations into Tolkien's languages are done by a team lead by Carl F. Hostetter.
