Первоначальное сообщение от Форменэль
Имя Elwё состоит из корня EL-, "звезда", и суффикса -WЁ, "мужчина". Так что, все правильно, "Звёзд".

Позволю себе немного поправить. Насчёт EL- сказано "There is nothing known to connect Elwe more closely with the stars than all the other Eldar; and the name seems invented to go as a pair with Olwe, for which no 'meaning' was suggested.", а WE - это не только мужской суффикс: "The suffix appears frequently in other Quenya names of the First Age, such as Voronwe, _generally but not exclusively masculine_. This the loremasters explained as being not in origin a suffix, though it survived in Quenya only as a final element in names, but an old word for 'person', derivative of a stem EWE. This took as a second element in a compound the form we; but as an independent word ewe, preserved in Telerin as eve 'a person, somebody(unnamed)'."
