Ah, Tar-Elenion, so what are you argue about is that the years of the sun as they are counted in The Grey Annals and The Tale of the years in The War of the Jewels during the First Age (obviously only 590 years) provided only a very small part of that same First Age? So the rest of the 'long First Age' was filled with years of the stars or years of the trees as they are named in The Grey Annals and the Annals of Aman?
And as an evidence for that you provide the quotations about the 'long first age' and 'the first age was longest' that are given in this thread?
Well, yes it is possible, but very fine spun. Some times I think it easier and more natural to live with contradictional ideas worked with by JRR Tolkien at the same time, than to search for such complicate solutions which can bring all his statements together.
Respectfully
