How old was Legolas?(again) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What type of "aura" is a heir supposed to have? I think if Legolas had siblings, they probably would've been mentioned. Why wouldn't the only heir be sent to the Council of Elrond? Thranduil needed the message delivered promptly - it was of grave importance. Who better to trust then your son?

'Yeni' is a unit of time measurement. It is simply a short way of saying 144 years. It helps the elves out because they're alive so long...they speak of time in it as opposed to years. It does not mean when an elf says he is 6,000 years old, that he is really 6,000 x 144 years old. It means exactly what it says...that he is 6,000 years old.

'Yeni' does not replace 'year.' 'Yeni' is an alternate way of speaking about time. Just like if something was 1,000 grams...would a scientist say 1,000 grams or 1 kilogram? 1 kilogram.
