  SOS Children's Villages: Hermann Gmeiner Prize 2004 goes to Quendi Appleton
The 28-year-old nurse was not only honoured for making her way in life and becoming a qualified nurse in a country suffering from civil war, but also for providing her help to thousands of fellow Liberians during the chaos of war.
"Quendi Appleton's life is both an example and a model of what a single person and all those helping can achieve in defiance of unfavourable conditions", says Josef Kittl, Regional Director of Western Africa, in his eulogy.
Regarded in that way, Quendi Appleton has already started to keep her promise in that she passes on to others the help she herself received by SOS Children's Villages - as a step towards peace in her home country suffering from so many crises.

 Elves By the Numbers
The starting point for any guestimations lies in the essay "Quendi and Eldar", published by Christopher Tolkien in The War of the Jewels.
So, we begin with "Quendi and Eldar" and see what works best with it.
"Quendi and Eldar" is accompanied by a unique story, a sort of Elven fairy-tale which tells how the first Elves awoke.

 Quenya Poems by Ryszard Derdzinski
Cuivienyarna or 'The legend of the Awaking of the Quendi' is a tale preserved in almost identical form among both the Elves of Aman and the Sindar.
According to this legend the Three Clans of the Quendi were in the beginning derived from three Elf-fathers: Imin, Tata, and Enel.
While their first bodies were being made from the 'flesh of Arda', the Quendi slept 'in the womb of the Earth', beneath the green sward, and awoke when they were full-grown.

 RED DWARF BESTIARY
The Quendi (an ancient Tolken word meaning Elf) are believed to be the oldest of all the races still living on the Nia Orbital.
Quendi are very close to humankind and have interbred many times with that older species.
Thought the majority of Quendi live on the Nia Orbital in a semi-medieval level of technology, a significant minority have journeyed to the space elevators that lead to the hub of the orbital and they used the starships found in the hub’s starport to travel to other worlds in order to found modest interstellar civilizations.

The Quendi are surprised to learn that the people of this world have latent powers quickly awakened by the touch of the Quendi.
The Quendi refuse to join the war effort, but one of their first students -- Michael McAllister -- provides a continual fountain of information from prisoners captured in commando-style raids.
Heavy fighting in New Mexico eventually results in the capture of a Quendi ship, the Celduin, which was serving as a fortress for the Comanche on top of a mesa in the Colorado desert.

The first passage that comes to mind (well, that actually came to Jessica Ney-Grimm's mind) follows: "And Orome loved the Quendi, and named them in their own tongue Eldar, the people of the stars; but that name was after borne only by those who followed him upon the westward road.
Yet many of the Quendi were filled with dread at his coming; and this was the doing of Melkor.
For by after-knowledge the wise declare that Melkor, ever watchful, was first aware of the awakening of the Quendi, and sent shadows and evil spirits to spy upon them and waylay them.

Une nouvelle aventure se prépare, et 2007 sera sans doute l'année du retour de Quendi sur les scènes messines, et sera aussi l'année de la sortie d'un album marqué par un esprit rock affirmé.

 The Sundering of the Quendi
When the Quendi first awakened in Middle-earth, they dwelt in a beautiful land of the stars, but when the Valar heard of their awakening through Orome, they wished for them to come to dwell with them in Aman and to escape Middle-earth, which they had less control over and which Melkor ruled at will.
However, the Quendi loved Middle-earth under the stars and were not ready to forsake it for tales of a wonderous land; therefore, they sent three lords - Ingwe, Finwe, and Elwe - to Aman.
All of the Quendi that came to Aman were called the Calaquendi, the 'Elves of the Light,' for they saw the light of the Trees of Valinor.

"Quendi and Eldar", "Osanwe-kenta", and "Orcs" (not to mention The Silmarillion itself) are thus all part of the more ancient works Bilbo translated and preserved.
The portion of Appendix D from "Quendi and Eldar", which Christopher omitted from The War of the Jewels, deals primarily with Feanor's early career as an Elvish loremaster.

 Regno dei Quendi - La cittadina di Silmaril
Quendi: originario nome degli Elfi, il cui significato è "Coloro che parlano con voci".
Il Regno dei Quendi si occupa di curare e preservare la bellezza di queste terre, e di allontanare e combattere la stanchezza e la corruzione.
Agendo diversamente si alimenterebbe un tipo di gioco che i Quendi, oltre a ripudiare e condannare con fermezza, cercano di allontanare da Silmaril.

And she pointed out once again that it was in part the Quendi's lack of eagerness to learn the language that provided this chasm between the two races, bolstering her side of the debate somewhat.
In this she presents a flaw in the morality of the Quendi, which can be connected to their distrust of the Dwarves in later times.
And though T-E-H's argument that the Quendi were not all that keen to learn about the Naugrim was largely valid and interesting, Niniel counters that here by saying that the Quendi never were given a chance to learn Khuzdul; and yet she provides no evidence to back that up.

He asked for the Great One's pardon on behalf of the Quendi, for there were many who shunned him because of the tales of the Dark Rider upon his wild horse who pursued those that wandered to take them and devour them.
Little of this did the Quendi understand, but they trusted his words and were heartened that they might soon be free of the evil that hunted them.
Thus it was that Cirdan and the other noble Quendi who had heard the voice of Orome returned to their people and sang to them songs of the Great Rider and his glory so that they would not fear him.

Porém Enel disse: "Eu tenho a escolha, e eu escolho estes quarenta e oito para serem meus companheiros." E os cento e quarenta e quatro quendi por muito tempo moraram próximo ao lago, até que todos adquiriram as mesmas vontades e a mesma linguagem, e estavam alegres.
E assim era que os quendi sempre contavam às dúzias, e que 144 foi por muito tempo seu número mais alto, tal que em nenhuma de suas línguas posteriores havia um nome comum para um número maior.

But always among them (as special servants and spies of Melkor, and as leaders) there must have been numerous corrupted minor spirits who assumed similar bodily shapes.
They could be slain, and the were subject to disease; but apart from these ills they died and were not immortal, even according to the manner of the Quendi; indeed they appear to have been by nature short-lived compared with the span of Men of higher race, such as the Edain.

But before dawn a wind came, and roused the elf-men, and they woke and were amazed at the stars; for all the clouds were blown away and the stars were bright from east to west.
And the ninety-six Quendi now spoke together, and the newly-waked devised many new and beautiful words, and many cunning artifices of speech; and they laughed, and danced upon the hill-side, until at last they desired to find more companions.
And so it was that the Quendi ever after reckoned in twelves, and that 144 was for long their highest number, so that in none of their later tongues was there any common name for a greater number.

After all, like the Valar, the Quendi are tied to the world until it is ended, while the fate of Men is to stop but briefly upon these shores before they go to some other fate that only Iluvatar determines.
Whereas the Quendi could sit back and watch the fruits of their labour take shape, or even simply exist, The Atani were ever forced to work until death and never able to attain even an ounce of that which the Quendi enjoyed.
My personal thought is that the Valar should never have removed the Quendi to Valinor in the first place, shouldn't have created Numenor, and shouldn't have had much to do with the Children other than to kick the ever-loving **** out of Morgoth ASAP and in all instances...

Accompanying the very scholarly essay "Quendi and Eldar" is a short Elvish nursery tale which provides the only account of how the Elves awoke at Cuivienen, and who the eldest Elves actually were.
"Quendi and Eldar" itself is filled with a great deal of historical and cultural information although it is primarily a linguistic work.

The Quendi, meaning "the speakers", originally referred to all elves including the Avari in the High Elven language, Quenya.
Their fate is not of Men, for the Elves sail to Valinor by ship, or die of grief or violence and return to Mandos of Valinor and now no longer return to Middle-earth.
The early Quendi were found by Orome, but had been told lies by Morgoth's servants that he would harm or kill them.
