About the needed change to take 'ros'as Beorian: This is not a simple matter. The naming of geographical feuters in Middelearth is mostly in Sindarin. And what connection could their be for Cair Andros to Beorian? The essay failed because Cair Andors was well established in the main text and not only in the appendix and because the system of Sindarin names for geo. features was also a fact observable in many many names. Cair Andors as an acception would have needed an explaination which Tolkien did not have at hand.
Why did the Istari Radagast, Saruman and Gandalf arrive so late, if the other two came already in 1600 Second Age:
It seems that from the begining of the plan to send them, they were not supposed to act as powerful group. Therefor they arived alone or as couples. And it could be that after the two blue wizards had arrived the plan was overturned by the rapid developments that occured in Middleearth, by which Saruon was humilated and pushed back. I belive that the Valar did not desire the Numenoreans to take part in the war. Most likely they had some idea what would come out of that involvement.
