Legolas has just left Hobbiton.

Christopher Tolkien offers this note about 'Aiwendil' in Unfinished Tales that suggests Quenya origin:

Quote:
Aiwendil must mean "lover of birds;" cf. Linaewen "lake of birds" in Nevrast (see the Appendix to The Silmarillion, entry lin (I).)
I certainly sense the Elvish feel to it too, if I'm qualified to recognize and/or acknowledge such a feel.
