this has been bothering me for some time *takes a deep breath*
ok, if Legolas's name is "Legolas Greenleaf", is "Legolas" Elven and "Greenleaf" also Elven? or is "Legolas" Elven and "Greenleaf" Commonspeech? because if that was the case then Legolas's name in Elven would actually be "Legolas Legolas" because Legolas literally means Greenleaf.
