Query on Volume III : Book 3 lore and the dwarf Nar

After finishing the quest line for Book III, you are able to go back and speak to Nar to hear specifics on each of the questions you were told to ask him.
The first one, concerning words from Elrond is as follows :

----:SPOILER:-----






'How do you know Elrond's words?'
Nár: 'I did not know the words of Elrond were a secret. My friend knew of them, and spoke at length concerning the futility of traversing the Paths of the Dead.'
Nâr breathes deeply of the strange-smelling brew, and he smiles quizzically at you.
Nár: 'He sees much that perhaps should have remained hidden, it's true; but when he speaks of a thing I confess it seems foolhardy to disagree or debate with him on it. He has a curious way about him, this friend I met in the mines. I thought it strange to see him there, but he said Herluf brought him down.'
Nâr's brow creases in thought.
Nár: 'But that's odd. Herluf went south to Zigil-jabâl and hasn't been here for years. I wonder when he let my friend into the mines?'
'He can't have.'

His first line translates as 'I do not know of anything concerning Elrond, yet my friend knew of the Paths of the Dead, and told me of it once.'
This is an acceptable answer, except for that earlier he specifically identifies Elladan as a "son of Elrond" and that he is to travel the "Paths of the Dead."

This would only be possible if his 'friend' over heard Elrond, then travelled to Zudrugund before the company, told him the information and then left ; all of which Frithgeir does not witness?

I was quite excited about the story line and the mystery surrounding this old forgotten Dwarf, though I can't help feel a bit disappointed as I am confused how it actually comes out as being plausible.
