They were said to be the most skilled artisans to have worked since the time of Fëanor himself (who was indeed Celebrimbor's grandfather). Their skill was subverted by Sauron, in the guise of Annatar the Lord of Gifts, who turned their abilities to the making of the Rings of Power. Notes 1 In Elvish, the ai sound is pronounced somewhat like the English word 'eye'. So, 'gwyth' represents the fact that Elvish gwaith, 'people', contains this vowel sound, followed by a soft 'th' as in English 'cloth'. Similarly, the last syllable of Mírdain, 'Jewel-smiths', is pronounced like the English word 'dine'. See also...
