BTW, another thing...

Tolkien speaks of White as a commanding color. I.e. Saruman the White was the chief wizard of the Istari. The White Council was the chief council concerning securty matters of M.E. in the 3rd Age. Gandalf the White comes to lead men and elves in the last part of the War of the Ring.

So... if Nenya IS the White Ring, then how come we dont put as a "arguable" point the affirmation that Vilya is the mightiest of the 3...

Tolkien may say so in LOTR. But in the UT, he says that Nenya is the principal of the 3 and he reffers to it by calling it "the principal of the 3".

What do you think?
