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.
