The Eldar and the Umanyar in Lord of the Rings

The reason that Galadriel is so immensely powerful is because she herself is Caliquendy. She is one who did see the light of Amman. And even Kierden was Sindot, wasn't he? I believe there's speculation that he might even be one of the original, you know, the original Awakeners. He would have been more Aquendy than Legolas or Thranduil. Even if he is one of theoriginal, he never made it to him.
