Q. Arantar m. “*High King”

Q. Arantar, m. “*High King”
Fifth king of Arnor (LotR/1038), his name seems to be a compound of aran “king” and the affix -tar “high; lord”. As such, his name might mean “*High King”, perhaps an allusion to the claim of his house over the thrones of both Gondor and Arnor.
