Keep in mind though that Mr. Rateliff is referring there to the time of writing this chapter of The Hobbit, noting he uses an older term Ilkorindi in this context.
In another note Rateliff mentions ideas with respect to the published Silmarillion (thus those ideas taken up by CJRT for the edited version), and there states that the Wood-elves seem to be 'a mix of Umanyar and Avari' -- and is here not asserting that the ultimate scenario concerning these Wood-elves paints them as specifically Sindarin.
