[Maédhros]

Let me first begin by stating that I'm a huge fan of the Lays.

Concerning the Narn I Chîn Húrin, as it relates to our purpose, when I was doing my draft, I didn't consider the work on the Lay because the text that is provided in the Narn is later than that of the Lay of the Children of Húrin. I'm in the process of reviewing Findegil changes in the draft, and I have to say that the additions of the verse do in fact upgrade our work, I'm not sure that we can incorporate all the verse that he wanted (option w) but I think that we can work in that direction.

Regarding the Lay of Leithien and how it relates to our text. I'm unsure on to how much of the Lay material that we should use. Personally, I think that it is a little ackward to have such huge amount of verse, and in the end, have a little amount of prose. I think that I would like to use as much of the Lays as possible in this part too.
