Gamil Zirak name of a dwarf-smith, master of Telchar of Nogrod (UT:76).
Since Tolkien's final decision seems to have been that in the name Zirak-zigil "Silvertine, Silverspike", it is the zigil part that means "silver", zirak must mean "spike" (TI:174 vs. 175).
Zirak either "Silver" or (more probably) "Spike", short name of Zirak-zigil, q.v.

 Nogrod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nogrod lay near Mount Dolmed, from which place the Dwarf-road descended west into Beleriand and east into Eriador.
It was home to the renowned Dwarven smiths Gamil Zirak and Telchar: indeed Ëol, 'the Dark Elf' often went there, as did his son Maeglin, learning much of his craft amongst the dwarves of Nogrod.
While initially friendly to the Elves of Beleriand, several Dwarves of Nogrod ultimately murdered Thingol of Doriath in his treasury after he refused to hand over the Nauglamír, an ancient and precious dwarven treasure that they had crafted into union with a Silmaril, an even more magnificent elvish treasure.

There is also the name Gamil Zirak, the name of a dwarf-smith, master of Telchar of Nogrod (UT:76).
Perhaps it is just another nickname, or his name may have leaked to non-dwarves by accident, to his great and lasting regret.
In that case, this word may be a "construct state" connection just like baruk Khazâd seems to be: *Zirak zigil "Spike (of) silver" (a construction that Frodo, naturally ignorant of Khuzdul, took to be a compound and spelt Zirak-zigil, Zirakzigil).

 IMG News: Shadowbane Beta Journal #2
Thus the release of a second installment of the Beta Journal, which describes one test player's experiences with the game, has been met with great excitement.
Very little has been seen of the stone-skinned dwarves in the game until now, and this journal is sure to please fans who have been wanting to learn more about this short, tough race.
Gamil starts out fighting measly grobolds, but quickly advances in rank and skill, and recounts his experiences grouping as a party with a number of other players to tackle the much more impressive Orc Chieftain and Ogre monsters.

Gamil Zirac was a sword-smith and armourer living in the Years of the Trees, and many of his works were treasured by Thingol.
Bilbo, trying to take some of the treasure and spy on Smaug, angered the dragon, so that he arose from the Mountain in great wrath and flew towards the Long Lake to his doom, for there he was shot down by Bard, a descendant of Girion of Dale.
(probably of the Firebeards clan), a pupil of Gamil Zirac, and the best known dwarven smith in history.

(On the other hand, the basic, uninflected form of the adjective may be used in compounds.) Zirak (pl. *zirik???) may be the adjective "silver" according to TI:174, but on the next page it is suggested that it means "spike" instead.
It is possible that an adjective follows the noun it describes (though not in compounds like "Longbeards"); see below.
The name Zirak-zigil "Silver-spike" (Celebdil, Silvertine) fits this pattern (TI:174), but Tolkien later seems to have decided that zirak means "spike" and zigil means "silver" rather than vice versa.

At least, this was the custom among the Longbeard Dwarves from the Second Age onward, if not earlier.
The Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost went by names given in Khuzdul: Azaghal, lord of Belegost, Telchar of Nogrod, Gamil Zirak the Old, the master who taught Telchar.
The Dwarves of Ered Luin may have developed the most sophisticated civilization among their kind during the First Age because of their friendship with the Elves of Beleriand, whose civilization was the highest, most advanced culture in Middle-earth.

There is a stereotype in 'our world' as well that men are afraid of marriage, but Tolkien's works often resemble true stereotypes and I don't think that this matter is exceptional.
