A winged hair oh my! Didn't expect that. But
Oddwen I don't understand how that could possibly be talking about Elmerf? It sounds to me like it was talking about a horse, a flying horse. I don't believe that Elmerf or Yosmitë had wings.
But I do remember what it was I had read from the Purple Book, I believe this happened when the dwarves asked Bilbo to climb one of the Mirkwood trees to see what he could see:

As I looked around high up in that tree looking at the black emperor butterflies I heard a strange noise. I turned around but saw nothing so I went down afew of the dark branches when I saw it. Sitting there nibbling at the tree leaves was a GREEN hare. It was by far the strangest looking bunny I have ever seen.

Could this be Elmerf or maybe a relatiive? I would think that if the rabbit had wings Bilbo may have mentioned it, but perhaps he didn't think it was important or maybe he didnt notice. My real question is how on earth did a hare get up a tree? Maybe that would explain the possibility of wings? This also answers what the mirkwood hares look like and what they eat.
I do hope I didn't answer all the questions or else there will be no point to my thread.
