Wasn't it used for questions that had no real answer? It became an "old saying" in the culture. They weren't really looking for the king to actually come back!

It's used when there's some good that could not be achieved, or of some evil that could not be amended.
Yes, I sneaked a look in the book.

 Your go...Oh - and brownjenkins... there's something in PoME kind of like what you're saying... I think it was "Friday the First of the Month" since there's no hobbit month that has the 1st fall on a Friday. I mentioned it real early in this thread. I believe JRRT says that the full quote was "Friday the First of Summerfilth" (a non-existent month). |

And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

What is the meaning of the 'Atani' or 'Edain'? (literal meaning, it is stated specifically it's true meaning)
