laegolas
masculine name. Green-foliage
The true Sindarin form of Nan. Legolas, a combination of laeg “green” and the lenited form of golas “foliage” (Let/282, PE17/56). In some places this name also appeared as S. Legolas with the diphthong [ae] reduced to [e] in the compound (PE17/84, 159), probably via the [[s|usual reduction of [ae] to [e] in polysyllables]] (hat-tip to Parmandil for this suggestion).
Conceptual Development: See Nan. Legolas for the earlier developments of this name.
