See also Angamaitë (epessë) for the Quenya epessë of Angrod

Angamaitë (Q: "Iron-handed", pron. [ˌaŋɡaˈma͡ɪte]) was one of the great-grandsons of Castamir the Usurper. With Sangahyando, another descendant of Castamir, Angamaitë followed in the footsteps of his treacherous ancestor. He led the Corsairs of Umbar on a devastating raid against the Gondorian port of Pelargir, where they succeeded in ravaging the city and slaying Minardil, the King of Gondor himself.

[edit] Etymology

Angamaitë is Quenya, from anga meaning "iron", and maitë meaning "hand".
