Legolas has just left Hobbiton.

144 years = 1 yeni

It's not...

144 man years = 1 elven year

A year is a year is a year. They only used the term 'yeni' because it was easier than keeping up with years, being alive through so many of them.

When someone says Elrond was 6,000+ years old, they don't mean 6,000+ x 144 years.
