the package has arrived!

Great work Tar Elenion.

Lots of thoughts - so I will only put down a couple.

Galadriel and Celeborn as first cousins [in a late conception
albeit] !!!
Have you come across any reference that JRRT saw this disparity
between this conception and the other statements re: first cousins?

I recently read a very late letter [347] 1972, which reconciles at
least part of the Celeborn problem.
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> "...though said to be a kinsman of King elu Thingol he was
so only afar off, for he too came from Valinor."<hr></blockquote>

Tar Elenion writes: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> "the Eldar did not wed with kin that close
(Sil.)) and not in
keeping with LotR or RGEO."<hr></blockquote>

At the risk of [further] unveiling my ignorance-what is
"RGEO" ?

BTW as we have a large # of 'viewrs' who are not 'posters' here on
the 'Silm. Theories discussion forum',
I formally encourage all who have an urge to post , to do so on
this and all other threads not directly involving editorial decisions
of the Silm project. To get involved more formally w/ the
Silmarillion project , I recommend an email to
Mithadan,Durelen,Gwaihir or myself at this point and [very
importantly] a thorough reading of all of the posts above the long
string of Locked threads.
