Indis as sister/sister-daughter/daughter of Ingwë: This was discussded under
DoV-FM-04 &
DoV-FM-05, but of course without the input from
NoME. And if we take up the change it will as well make a change necessary in Capter "6 OF Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië / Here are some of the chief names of Finwë and his descendants: / 1. [The names of Finwë and his spouses]"Where Indis is named "the daughter of King Ingwë's sister". I will mark that passage as
EPE-EX-21.07.
Now to the point itself: In the light of
NoME I agree that Indis as the daugther of Ingwë is probably better. Tha means we would have:
Quote:

§23 It came to pass that after three years more Finwë took as second wife Indis the fair. She was in all ways unlike Míriel. She was not of the Noldor but of the Vanyar, being the DoV-FM-04b {sister}[daughter] of Ingwë; and she was golden-haired and tall and exceedingly swift of foot. She did not labour with her hands, but made music and wove words into song; and there was ever light and mirth about her while the bliss of Aman lasted.

§27 In one year from their meeting upon the Mountain Finwë, King of the Noldor, wedded Indis, DoV-FM-05b{sister}[daughter] of Ingwë; and the Vanyar and Noldor for the most part rejoiced. ...
