Was Aragorn ever called "Estel" by anyone? For some reason I have that in my head, but don't know where it came from, lol. Also, does "estel" mean "hope?"
I was looking up Elrond and Aragorn's "I give hope to men...." "....I keep none for myself" in the appendices because I heard that it was what Aragorn's mother told him shortly before she died. Or at least, it was close. She said "Onen i-Estel Edain, ú-chebin estel anim," which is then translated "I gave Hope to the Dúnedain, I have kept no hope for myself."
I thought it was a nice use of that quote, and am very curious about the word "Estel," for it is what Arwen cries at Aragorn's death.
