I've just begun The Book of Lost Tales (for the 2nd time)... what's got me confused is why are the Noldoli (which I thought were elves in the first place) referred to as gnomes? are they the same? how are they related to Eldar?

(mebbe I shouldn't have tackled this book juz yet... but I juz had too after reading Unfinished tales!)
