Yes well, actually The scene in Rotk when Elrond is prodding Arwen forward and about to burst into tears quite moving. I think he whispers "Go to him." However, when Aragorn and Arwen are trying...

Silmaril The folly of the Valar?

I have recently read Unfinished Tales (And loved every bit). When it came to the chapter on the Istari I found this little interesting tidbit.

Shield Ah well

Tolkien nearly always hardly without exception had the e and the end of words pronounced. So it would be Nu-men-ore-ay.
