Tareldar

high-elves

Tareldar pl. noun "High-elves" (MR:349), sg. #Tarelda

tareldar

collective name. High-elves

A term for the “Elves who were in or who ever had dwelt in Aman” (MR/349). As such, it was equivalent to the (less arrogant sounding) term Amanyar. This name is a compound of tar- “high” and the plural of Elda “Elf”. This name appeared in The Silmarillion index (SI/Eldar) but not in The Silmarillion itself, though the English term “High Elves” appeared frequently in Tolkien’s writing.
