What are the 'Seven Stars'?

***Valandil*** · 12-30-2003, 10:27 AM

From the poem about the Numenoreans in Exile:

"Seven stones and seven stars and one white tree."

The seven stones are the palantiri, the white tree is the white tree. What are the seven stars? I imagine these are also the seven stars (above the tree and below the crown) on Elendil's emblem.

I had wondered before if it was a double reference to the palantiri... but now I'm going on the opposite assumption - that they're distinctly something else. Anyone know?
