We've heard tell about the man they call Star-Lord [Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2)
The video starts with this conversation:
Gamora: How'd you locate us now?
Ego: Well, even where I reside, out past the edge of what's known, we've heard tell about the man they call Star-Lord.
Here, I don't quite understand what Ego says, specifically the last part.
What is "tell" in there?
'Cause I can only guess that he means something like "we've heard about the man they call Star-Lord".
Or my transcription is wrong?
