Inglor could not be Finrod's son. If his wife had given birth to a son, if it was Inglorion or not, he would have become king of Nargothrond and not Orodreth because of the law of primogeniture. Now I know primogeniture was not always the case in Tolkien's works, but he went by it for the most part. However, Inglorion could be the son of one of Finrod's brothers. The -ion ending means scion, which doesn't necessarily mean son, but a descendant or heir.

Another thing, Telchar was a dwarf, not a lord of men. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
