I think the reason why Tolkien keeps referring to “the bow of Legolas” and “the voice of Legolas” and “the arrows of Legolas” is that he doesn’t want to write “Legolas’s”

it’s his own damn fault, he named the character. and you can’t even blame the language he got the name from, cause he made that one up too
