CH 32: Tolkien’s world names at least 15 different types of elvenkin in his writings.
The Telerin Elves are the singers. They sing the news across the physical and spirit realms for all to hear. Are others compelled by their magics? Sometimes, yes. I suppose it depends on the urgency of the message such as the death of a sovereign vs announcement of an upcoming celebration.
Teleri’s name for themselves is Glinnel, a group of Singers Glindrim, all of the Singers Glinnath

CH 27: Elvenkin explained – An expression of highest creation, the elves have a delicate beauty and almost immortal life span. They were brought forth from the waves and first appeared on shores to the north. Most like deer in nature they wandered freely among the foliage unaware until they were gathered in by the Darjal’n who were concerned for their safety. Scholars have theorized that the elves were created to be examples of virtue and nobility to humankind. The word for elf is edhel, elderhis are female elves specifically. Edhelath are elves as a whole species. Edhellim is a group of two or more. Their language is Elvish or Edhellen.
