'''Penni''' was a term used by some [[Avari]] to describe themselves. It is unknown if the name "Penni" was applied o a particular group of Avari specifically or to all Avari as a whole. The name was especially known among the [[Silvan Elves|Wood-elves]] of the [[Vales of Anduin]].

It is suggested that the group of Avari calling themselves "Penni" belonged initially to the [[Nelyar]], and the shift of [[PQ]] ''kw'' to ''p'' had already occurred among the [[Lindar]] at the [[Sundering of the Elves]].<ref name=Author>{{WJ|Author}}, Note 9, p. 410</ref>

==Etymology==
''penni'' is an [[Avarin]] word meaning "the People". It derives from [[Primitive Quendian]] ''[[kwende|kwendī]]''.<ref name=Author/>
