...It is a long tale...
The Three Elderwomen of the Elves[1] were the spouses to the three Elf-fathers who were among the first 144 Elves to awaken by the bay of Cuiviénen on the inland Sea of Helcar. Their names were Iminyë, Tatië, and Enelyë. Their husbands are (respectively) Imin, Tata, and Enel.[2]
Other versions of the legendarium
In The Nature of Middle-earth, Oromë brought the Western Corn seed that was used in art of the making of lembas. He taught this art to the Three Elderwomen of the Elves, rather than to the Yavannildi.[1]
