Have I missed something somewhere? how did Rama and the eagle become involved in Pio's question regarding Aiwendil and Narika?

If it is that you wish also to enquire as to which language the eagle will use or understand I will answer thus:

She will understand both the common tongue and the dialect of the clans, but it has been a long time since she has found the need to speak either, so initially and more instinctively she will speak the language of the bird that she is, the resounding ouch would have been a slip that she might not even give thought to, or even realised she had uttered. But depending on which tongue Rama uses to speak to her curious intruder, the eagle soon releasing that she does not understand her high pitched squels and Kee, Kee sounds will try to recall the words to answer her accordingly.

does that help?

Another question that comes to mind regarding the dialects of the clans, is weather or not they would vary slightly from clan to clan?
