'''''kinn-lai''''' was a tribe of the [[Avari]]. It is mentioned in the War of the Jewels that they went to the Uttermost South, to the Jungles of Harad, and settled there.
==Etymology==
It is an [[Avarin]] word meaning "the People". It derives from [[Primitive Quendian]] ''[[kwende|kwendī]]''.<ref name=Author>{{WJ|Author}}, Note 9, p. 410</ref>

==Portrayal in adaptations==

: ''Kinn-lai'', an articulation of "Quendi" (the most ancient name of the Elves), is also the name of a tribe of Avari Elves of the jungles of the Mûmakan in the Utter South of Middle-earth.<ref>{{ICE|2026}}, p. 18</ref>

The second element could be related to [[Quenya]] ''[[lië]]'' which means "to speak", marking the word as a people-name. In Kinn-lai Avarin this could possibly mean, The "Speaking People".
