Is the unit 'one league' used in LOTR (esp in elvish) the same as in our universe. Just asking as nobody here is questioning the units.

Yes. The books are all carefully translated from elvish and would have accounted for unit conversions.

I thought they were written by Bilbo and Frodo in Westron and later 'translated' by Tolkien
