Notes 1 Our only specific reference to these woods being visited at all is to the fact that their timber was used by Eärendil to build his ship Vingilot. He did this under the guidance of Círdan, which rather implies that the Elves were using the birchwoods of Nimbrethil to build vessels of their own, though this is never stated outright. 2 The Elvish word brethil is usually translated 'silver birch', so taken literally Nimbrethil can be interpreted 'white silver birch'.
