ᴹT. Elulindo m. “?Elwe Singer”

ᴹT. Elulindo m. “?Elwe Singer”
The son of Elwe in a genealogy associated with the early Annals of Beleriand (LR/403). A similar name, Elulind appears in The Etymologies, derived from ᴹ√ƷEL (Ety/ƷEL). The language of the name is unclear, but Elulind may be Ilkorin since it is grouped with other Ilkorin names from The Etymologies like Elrond. Its final element resembles ᴹQ. lindo “singer”, but its initial element is his father’s name other (?Telerin) name: Elu. At this early stage, Elwe was the brother of Thingol, and ruled over the Telerin in Valinor (SM/264), so perhaps Elulindo is the Telerin form of the name.
