Quendi and Eldar is a long essay by J.R.R. Tolkien dating from c. 1959-60, which was published in The War of the Jewels. Quendi and Eldar provides the etymological development of certain words the Elves used to name themselves and other peoples, or to refer to individuals in some way.
A portion of the "Appendix D" was omitted from The War of the Jewels by Christopher to save space. This was published, with some additional material, in Vinyar Tengwar 39 in 1998, edited by Carl F. Hostetter.
