Riddle Help Needed

Hi!

I have a riddle and I am totally clueless at riddles. Can Someone give me some insight as to how I should answer?

Thanks!

In earlier times a man known in grey
was suddenly at a loss for what to say.
Words, commands, and phrases left it bound
til this attempt did at the entry sound.

Hi, Randy. Get out your copy of Fellowship of the Ring and see the
word Gandalf used to open the west door of Moria. Not sure whether
the riddle is looking for the Elvish or English version, but I would
try the Elvish, since it's in the book and it is the exact word he
used.

Best,
