Fun fact: I looked up the etymology of the word ‘cookie’ actually, to ensure that it wasn’t too anachronistic or dialectic to use. 

It comes from the Dutch, apparently – koekje, koekie: ‘little cake’, and has been around since the 18th century. In America, what is known as a ‘cookie’ is actually known as a ‘biscuit’ in both the UK and Australia. ‘Cookies’ in parts of Scotland apparently means ‘buns’ huurrrr.

So, in Sansukh, when I use the word ‘cookie’ you can imagine either one (biscuits or buns), and you will be correct. 

WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE ACTUALLY KIDDING ME. In the updated Neo-Khuzdul dictionary, there IS a word for Cookie!

Cookie (Biscuit) (singular, absolute): Kasb
Cookie (Biscuit)(singular, construct state): Kasbu
Cookie of all Cookies: Kasbel
Cookie that is fresh: kasbith
Cookies (plural, absolute):  kasâb
Cookies (plural, construct state): kasub
Cookies (plural) that are fresh: kasbîth

how would an epitet “the great cookie thief” look like?

He/She that is a stealer (thief) [professional form]: tharabâl

(to turn it into greater/greatest, add ‘u-)

So, it becomes ‘utharabâlu kasâb (the greatest thief of cookies)… I think? 

(-u at the end due to the singular genitive rule OH MY GOD I REMEMBERED THAT WITHOUT CHECKING I am getting better at this yaaaay)

Anyway. You can check it all out in the Neo-Khuzdul dictionary and docs at the Dwarrow Scholar!
