 The usual Sindarin name was "Noegyth Nibin"; others include "Nibin-Nogrim" and "Noegoethig", formed of "nibin" ("petty") and one of the Elvish names for the true Dwarves.In Quenya they were called "Pitya-naukor".The Sindar, not acquainted with Dwarves yet, saw the Petty-dwarves as little more than bothersome animals, calling them "(Levain) Tad-dail" ("two-legged (animals)"), and hunted them.
