My point was about Tolkien using "shadow" as a technique rather than as literal shadow stuff, but there's a usage contradicting the no-wingers in the same passage: "But at that moment there came a sound like mingled song and laughter." The sound is mingled song and laughter.
But I'm gonna have to take a break from the Balrog wars -- I've been over all this more times than I care to think about.
