21:48, May 25, 2016 (UTC)~ Can I just say that I highly doubt this, seeing as Tolkien never expanded upon the languages of the East or South. The languages of the east and south are the least impressive on this list becuause the only word is Mumak/mumakil. no, there is another: Khand You do realise that the Númenorëans named places, right? And I'm fairly sure the word Mûmakil is from some other language. Anyway, 'Khand' is probably Sindarin. Speculation, of course.

I know that the numenoreans named most things in the wide world of arda. But khand is haradian, tolkien himself said that. Also about khand was little known in the second age, it was a vast region between southern palisor (the name for near-rhun), mordor and harad, three of the most unfertile regions of middle earth, so it is lickely that khand also is unfertile rigth? Why should the Numenoreans explode this "boring" place (But i cant wait to explore it, when it is realeased)

Tolkien Gateway:

The meaning of Khand is unknown; it is, along with mûmak and Variag, one of the few known words from the languages of the Men of the East and allies of Sauron

Here is the link if you dont believe me: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Khand
