"Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!"
An archaic name representing a word in the language of the Rohirrim. It comes from the Old English for 'magical art', implying a spectral being, with the same first element also appearing in Dwimordene ('vale of phantoms', a name for Lórien) and Dwimorberg (the 'Haunted Mountain'). Éowyn used this title in defiance and contempt for the Lord of the Nazgûl during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
