But in the period of the Exile of the Noldor it was often used of the Elves of Middle-earth other than the Noldor and the Sindar, and is then virtually equivalent to Avari (120, 146, 168). Different again is the title Dark Elf of the Sindarin Elf Eol, 158, 162, 247; but at 164 Turgon no doubt meant that Eol was of the Moriquendi.
