What happened to the avari? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

From what I have gathered after reading Silm, UT and some of HoME, most notably HoME 5, I had always figured the Silvan elves of Lorien and Mirkwood to be Avari.

In HoME 5 I found something that shows that Lenwë's folk and the Avari had the same term used for them, Lembi. So what is most likely is some of Lenwë's folk and some of the Avari actually intermingled to become the Silvan Elves as they were known in the Third Age.
