Finwe-- I just read something in Letters that might help clear up your galen confusion. It says in one of them (sorry, can't remember which; I had to return it to the library. grr.) that laeg was the old Sindarin word for green, but it was replaced later on by galen/calen. Leg- is a corruption of laeg.
