proper name. Elf who left for Aman

An archaic Sindarin term for the Elves who travelled to Aman, the equivalent of Q. Aurel from primitive ✶awādelo “away Elf” (WJ/364). Later the term was used to describe the exiled Noldor, and developed into S. Gódhel (WJ/379).

Also Ódhel, pl. Ódhil, coll. pl. Ódhelllim (WJ:364, 378-9). Adj.
