Thanks for the link, very interesting.

Just a few questions though: was Ósanwe-kenta written by Tolkien or someone else? (If someone else, what are their sources?)

Also, about this point:

"So it was also with even some of his greatest servants, as in these later days we see: they became wedded to the forms of their evil deeds, and if these bodies were taken from them or destroyed, they were nullified, until they had rebuilt a semblance of their former habitations, with which they could continue the evil courses in which they had become fixed."

Even though they ahd to rebuild their former bodies, it would seme that a Balrog would have done that between the 1st and 3rd Ages...(maybe the one in Moria did? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), so do you think the Balrogs had become fully incarnate by that time and simply couldn't rebuild?
