Gulls
In the Etymologies, one Noldorin and one Quenya word for "gull" appear, both from the same root: maew and maiwë. A later recorded Sindarin word is mŷl, which replaced gwael. In manuscripts related to the Etymologies Tolkien also experimented with the Noldorin form cuen, glossed as "small gull, petrel".
