One could even construct:
Nae, ŷn Durin,
Nae, Le i—ŷn Dís
Melaid idh rî lîn, ar velaid in choedh lîn,
Te i ann lîn sui te i thrach lîn.
as the Noldorin/Quenya influenced 'Le/lin/lîn' for formal second person subjective/objective/possessive pronouns were the most commonly used, but it is unlikely that Thranduil or his followers would use Noldorin-derived words or dialect, or even permit them!
This is more how someone raised in Rivendell might speak. The 'ae' diphthong remains pronounced in that dialect, in_r=idh_r, Noldorin pronouns for second person formal are used, and the Quenya conjunction 'ar' (and) might occur in all positions.
