I think it was not winged.
I have not yet read this
Unstarted Tales yet (perhaps it got lost on its way to the Philippines), but from the quote
Oddwen provided, the
wind speed is clearly metaphorical.
Besides, if hares had wings, why then couldn't they fly to save themselves?
. . . and many hyenas, lemmings, and hares fell to their doom with Aragorn on the steep banks of the Entlaundromat . . .
Purple Book
I'll get back to
Wilwa's question when I have read the
Purple Book again. It's been so long since I last read it.
EDIT:
Wilwa, Yosmitė was Elmerf's . . . partner. A weird name, I know, but it was named by the Dark Elves who gave it to Glorfindel as such. In their tongue, I think it means "varmint". Or something like that.
