I agree we're talking past each other. The rate of aging & the time Elves have their first children prior to the March is absolutely, completely irrelevant to the "Late Timeline". It's not mentioned!... |

I think GA2 postdates XXII, specifically: So 1330 is the later date. We can do this very easily, anchoring off the Late Timeline's date for Olwe's departure, and it doesn't really work: |

Thank you! But I have to disagree with Hostetter on "later". XVIII is solidly dated to 1965 (being written on calendar pages); HoME XI:350 talks about a family tree which CT dates to December 1959,... |
