Aratlithiel has just left Hobbiton.

I apologize - I am not making myself clear. The names of the Kindreds I gave above are those by which they were known after the exodus from Eldamar.

Luthien was born on Middle-earth to Melian and Thingol (a.k.a. Sindacollo) and is therefore Sindarin - regardless of her descent. She cannot be a High-elf without having been to Aman.

And being a High-elf has nothing to do with having seen the trees - the High-elves are the Elves of Aman and all Elves who ever dwelt in Aman. Descendants don't qualify.
