Penni were one of the only six tribes of the Avari mentioned. They merged with the Wood-elves of the Vales of Anduin.
It is suggested that the Penni belonged initially to the Nelyar, and the shift of PQ kw to p had already occurred among the Lindar the Sundering of the Elves.[1]
Etymology
penni is an Avarin word meaning "the People". It derives from Primitive Quendian kwendī.[2]
