Sting

Pt 2

“FG-M-04
{Now it so chanced that not long after Meglin went to the hills for the getting of ore,

and he durst never again wander amid the mines lest he again fall in with the Orcs and be bidden once more to the terrors of the halls of darkness.}
Use later
Not sure about this one.”

The sticking point as I see it is that Morgoth sent him back so as not to be discovered by the Gondolindrim. Quite possibly/probably[?] any orcs in the area would have heard and been under orders to leave them/maeglin alone and indeed not to even go close enough to tip the Gondolindrim off.

So on those grounds I say we stick with Q30/77.
FG-M-05.5

Looks good.
Maedhros addition: I would replace the making of dragons to using them. Hence {make} [use].

Linidl: makes sense, though do we not read of Glaurung and such beofre the Dagor Bragollach [?] that Morgoth
Re: the house, I really have not the time to look over this so if it is the last thing left undone while I am away, I will abide the groups decision, unless something compeling appears later.
FG-TG-11.05
for in great love Idril bore to Tuor a son [and she named him Ardamírë, but his father named him] {and he was called} Eärendil [and by this name he was know ever after]. Lindil: very good catch Maedhros!
Re: the ‘Ulmo warning’: Again I do not have time to delve into the nuances of the Ulmo warning decision, I will abide with the group, though I would also urge a conservative approach to the general tradition [i.e. lean against using a theory that pops once and is not supported elsewhere].
Re:Two more proposed changes:
FG-M-02.05
In paragraph 29:

FG-D-02.5

Agree with both.
-================
My only real hesitation is that I have not gone over things with as fine a toothed comb as I would like, but at this point, progress is needed and we are still at least one stage away I hope from a final [non-stylistic] draft.

Great work Maedhros.
