Hello, I am a new member and, having been named Durin by my parents, an avid Tolkien reader. My wife and I, as dog lovers are both getting similar dog-centric tattoos, but to connect mine to my other Tolkien themed tattoos I would love a little help with the translations that I have been able to find through some research. The languages and words that I am planning to add to our design are:

Quenya - Huan Herenyo - Dog of Fortune - in Tengwar
Sindarin - Adabhu - House Hound - Tengwar (Sindarin Beleriand)
Adunaic - Zîr-an - Love creature - Tengwar - (Sindarin Beleriand)
Khuzdul - Ushmaru-kunb - Guardian Dog - Cirth
Black Speech - ???- ???- Tengwar (Sindarin Generic)
Orcish - Warg - Warg - Cirth (artistically different)

Any help or expertise would be very greatly appreciate before I commit these to my body. I am especially not sure about the Black Speech/Orcish one.
