Perhael 'half-wise, simple' is Sindarin for Samwise and is used in the below quote from The Return of the King:
- Daur a Berhael, Conin en Annûn, eglerio!
- Frodo and Sam, princes of the west, glorify (them)!
Here the name is in form Berhael due to the soft lenition which changes p > b after the particle a closely connected to the name (see, e.g. Letters, p. 279, footnote [Letter 211]).
The name also appears in the King's Letter (Sauron's Defeat, p. 128 cf. p. 126):
- Cherdir Perhael (i sennui Panthael estathar aen)
- Master Samwise (who should be called Fullwise)
