The Book of Last Tales can be even more confusing until you realize that the names of all three kindreds of the Eldar are different from the later Silmarillion.
Comparing the names in the Silmarillion to the ones in Lost Tales, you will find that the Vanyar in Silmarillion are called Teleri in Lost Tales, the Noldor were called Noldoli and Gnomes, and the Teleri of the later legends were the Solosimpi of the older work.
Another name, Inwir, appears, but that seems to merely be the "royal household" of the Vanyar/Teleri.
