I concede!! but it was an interesting thought to much about. I can't recall the exact quote and I hope you forgive me if I don't go looking through my books for it, but in my Spanish version is not quite as definite. Something along the lines of "With me we are thirty dunedain. We couldn't gather many soldiers in such haste" which could be read as "There is thirty generals and a bunch of soldiers for each... not many"

Although for some reason, the quote I mentioned before of Elrond's sons standing on one hill with the Prince of Dol-Amoroth and some hand-picked soldiers made me think that they were mentioning the captains of each army (i.e. Elven army, Dol-Amoroth army and some 'extra' hand-picked soldiers)

Yet you are right Firefoot.... an army of elven warriors would have been noteworthy.
