Okay, so i'd just like to say that i love all the Sindarin in the Lord of
the Rings movies!  But i noticed something while watching TTT twice (how
fitting :P):

In the scenes where Arwen and Aragorn are having their relationship
issues, multiple times Arwen says things that include the words "trust"
and/or "hope".  If i was listening correctly, whenever the subtitles had
one of those words, what she actually said in Sindarin (at least i think
it was Sindarin) included some form of the word |estel|, which means
"hope" but is also Aragorn's Elvish name!

I thought that was pretty cool.

I just hope the third movie includes a scene or two with the Drughu
(Woses), because after all they are an offshoot of the Rokbeigalm :-P .
