 | | Vanyar: This term, which meant 'highly illustrious noble ones with beautiful blond hair,' was given to the First Clan by some of the more sycophantic ?oldor, who hoped to be allowed into their country clubs. |
 | | The Vanyar were a snobby lot who believed in a strict caste system with themselves pretty much at the top, and charged hefty entrance fees of any ?oldor who had the effrontery to apply to join their country clubs, while studiously avoiding any contact with the Teleri, who in turn called them ponsi. |
 | | The ?oldor and Teleri were too xenophobic to learn this language either, for they had no desire to abandon their own tongue, of which they were insufferably proud, and found the learning of furrin languages an ungrateful and profitless task. |
