&lt;div&gt;Some of the explanations below are necessarily incomplete, as they relate to things which [[Dwarf|Dwarfs]] are not allowed to speak of in front of &#039;&#039;D&#039;harak&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;aargk&#039;&#039; : say ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;aork!&#039;&#039; : say (preemptive form of &#039;&#039;aargk&#039;&#039;) ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;ah Grag nun&#039;&#039; : My Lord&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;bad&#039;dhakz&#039;&#039; : yeast bowl&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;B&#039;Daan? Kraa! D&#039;Kraga ha&#039;ak!&#039;&#039; : An expression used by a Dwarf officer in {{T5E}} on first seeing [[Cheery Littlebottom]] in unambiguously female clothing. Given one meaning of &amp;quot;ha&#039;ak&amp;quot; below, it appears that he is expressing conservative disapproval of her dress sense. &lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;bura&#039;zak-ka&#039;&#039; : town hall&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;b&#039;zugda-hiara&#039;&#039; : Lawn ornament. (A killing insult in Dwarfish; however, it is used in {{WS}} as a term of endearment for [[Hwel]]. In {{RS}} it is used as an insult for the Deep-Downers, and as a picture for what certain narrow-minded parochial people would reduce the Dwarf race to, if they were to be allowed. Dwarves &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; do metaphor and simile, then...)&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;Dezka-k&#039;nik&#039;&#039; : king. Literally, &amp;quot;Senior Mine Engineer&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;d&#039;harak&#039;&#039; : (all peoples who are) not-dwarfs.&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;D&#039;kraha?&#039;&#039; : an expression of astonished disbelief (in context in {{T5E}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;[[draht]]&#039;&#039; : a distinguishing tattoo used by [[Deep-Downers]] and inadvertently by [[Samuel Vimes]]&lt;br /&gt;

; &#039;&#039;D&#039;rkza&#039;&#039; : not a proper dwarf ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;drhg&#039;hgin&#039;&#039; : an adjectival clause used for emphasis - as in, &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;it is also important to know when not be too drhg&#039;hgin clever by half.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;Gd Tak &#039;Gar&#039;&#039; : &amp;quot;The Things Tak Wrote&amp;quot; ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;G&#039;daraka&#039;&#039; : after buying each other from their parents before their marriage, the couple is in the state of g&#039;daraka: Free, unencumbered, &#039;&#039;new&#039;&#039; dwarfs.&lt;br /&gt;

; &#039;&#039;[[Ginnungagap]]&#039;&#039; : a previously unrecorded phrase first used in {{RS}}. In the context, it may be cognate with &#039;&#039;Tra&#039;ka!&#039;&#039; (below).&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;[[grag]]&#039;&#039; : A loremaster, teacher, a judge, an elder in the community. The nearest thing Dwarfs have to a priest, whose social position is much that of a rabbi in a Jewish community.&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;G&#039;rakha&#039;&#039; : an essential rite which must be done with the correct degree of &#039;&#039;ha&#039;lk&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;Ga strak ja&#039;ada!&#039;&#039; : roughly, &amp;quot;your attitude or way of life is wrong!&amp;quot; ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;

; &#039;&#039;Ha&#039;ak!&#039;&#039; : A most coarse expletive. In context in {{T5E}}, a most disapproving and pejorative term used to denote a Dwarf female who has &amp;lt;del&amp;gt;fallen&amp;lt;/del&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;risen&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt; from grace (ie, uses makeup, wears a skirt, and brazenly lets her ankles show): a word with the power to incite near-genocidal anger in certain hearers. ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;Ha&#039;lk&#039;&#039; : what a Dwarf does to correctly fulfil the obligation of the  &#039;&#039;g&#039;rakha&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;had&#039;ra&#039;&#039; : stop ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;

; &#039;&#039;[[K&#039;ez&#039;rek d&#039;b&#039;duz]]&#039;&#039; : &amp;quot;Go Round The Other side of the Mountain&amp;quot; - the Dwarf name for [[Granny Weatherwax]]. &lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;Kra&#039;k?&#039;&#039; : an interrogative. &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;What is that&#039;&#039;?&amp;quot; seems to be a good translation, in context. {{T5E}}&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;[[Kruk]]&#039;&#039; : Dwarf mining law.&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;K&#039;zakra&#039;&#039; : a rite of passage all Dwarfs must undergo. There is a massive Records Chamber underneath the [[Schmaltzberg]] in which the records of every Dwarf on the Disc&#039;s progress through &#039;&#039;k&#039;zakra&#039;&#039; are filed and kept up to date. This suggests &#039;&#039;k&#039;zakra&#039;&#039; is a lifelong journey for the Dwarf. &lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;P&#039;akga &#039;a&#039;p&#039;akaga-ad...&#039;&#039; : It is the thing, and the whole of the thing.&lt;br /&gt;

; &#039;&#039;[[Cheery Littlebottom|Sh&#039;rt&#039;azs]]&#039;&#039; : Cheery&#039;s true name, expressed in Dwarfish. It is, apparently, a literal translation. &lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;Ta&#039;grdzk!?&#039;&#039; : an emphatic interrogative used by a Dwarf officer with a battalion of axes behind him to back up his point. Untranslated in {{T5E}}, in context it appears to convey impatience and an inability to accept idiots gladly. &lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;T&#039;dr&#039;duzk b&#039;hazg t&#039;t!&#039;&#039; : &amp;quot;Today is a good day for someone else to die!&amp;quot; A battle cry, and apparently the worst or one of the worst it is possible to utter in Dwarfish, as (according to [[Carrot]], at least) once it is said &#039;&#039;someone&#039;&#039; has to die.&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;[[tra&#039;ka]]&#039;&#039; : a minimal, unworthy, beneath-notice, thing ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;
; &#039;&#039;zadkrdga&#039;&#039; : &amp;quot;one who smelts&amp;quot;. One who finds the pure ore of truth in the dross of confusion. A kind of special investigator. ({{T!}})&lt;br /&gt;

==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Alchemists&#039; Guild|alchemists]] of the [[Discworld (world)|Discworld]] have discovered the [[magic]] of the silver screen. But what is the dark secret of [[Holy Wood]] hill?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s up to [[Victor Tugelbend]] (&amp;quot;Can&#039;t sing. Can&#039;t dance. Can handle a sword a little&amp;quot;) and [[Theda Withel]] (&amp;quot;I come from a little town you&#039;ve probably never heard of&amp;quot;) to find out ...&lt;br /&gt;
{{MP}}, the tenth Discworld novel, is a gloriously funny saga set against the background of a [[Ankh-Morpork|world gone mad]]!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cover ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cover was painted by Josh Kirby, and the front features many characters filming a moving picture: Victor (with sword), Ginger (lying languorously), Silverfish (with megaphone), Gaffer (with picture box), Gaspode (by Ginger&#039;s leg), CMOT Dibbler (with sausages-in-buns), Oswald (behind Victor), a troll (under Ginger), and several imps and dwarves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The back cover has three Wizards riding with Windle Poons on his wheelchair, chasing Gaspode (who seems to be on both covers) and Laddie, passing the Resograph.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Major Characters ==&lt;br /&gt;
