Another name of ᴹQ. Elwe in Silmarillion drafts from the beginning of the 1930s (SM/13, 85). At this early stage, Elwe was the brother of Thingol and ruled over the Telerin in Valinor (SM/264), so Elu was a Telerin name. In The Etymologies, the Noldorin form of his name was N. Elwe, which further supports Elu being a Telerin name.
