<p>41.241.53.221: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Nelyar''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron {{IPA|[ˈneʎar]}}) was the original name of the third Clan of the elves, [[Teleri]], before the [[Great March]]. The Clan-name, meaning 'Thirds' (q. cardinal &lt;i&gt;nelya&lt;/i&gt; 'third') was derived from the name of the father of the Clan, [[Enel]] 'Three'. Enel was the third [[Elf-fathers|Elf-father]], who awoke at [[Cuiviénen]]. <br /> <br /> They were the largest clan, being the 74/144 of the population. Of those, the 46/74 followed [[Elwë]] to the West and became the [[Teleri]], while 28/74 [[Avari|stayed back]] with [[Nurwë]].<br /> <br /> The other original clans were [[Minyar]] 'Firsts', and [[Tatyar]] 'Seconds' according to the Elf-fathers [[Imin]] 'One' and [[Tata]] 'Two'.<br /> <br /> Eventually some of the Avari of the Nelyar reached [[Beleriand]]. Unlike the Tatyar, those Avari were friendly to the Eldar, willing to learn from them and had a feeling of kinship. Later in [[Eriador]] and the [[Vales of Anduin]], Lindarin Avari often merged with the Eldar of Middle-earth.&lt;ref&gt;{{WJ|Quendi}}, p. 380-1&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> {{elves}}<br /> {{references}}<br /> [[Category:Nelyar| ]]<br /> [[Category:Quenya nouns]]<br /> [[de:Nelyar]]<br /> [[fr:encyclo/peuples/elfes/nelyar]]</div>
