EPE-EX-21.05: I agree that we have to change it. What about:
Quote:
... The Sindar knew little of the Valar EPE-EX-21.05{and}[but] had {no }names for {any}[all] of them, {save}[as] Oromė (whom all the Eldar had seen and known); and Manwė and Varda of whose eminence they had been instructed by Oromė; and the Great Enemy whom the Ńoldor called Melkor. For Oromė a name had been made in Primitive Eldarin {(recalling the sound of his great horn) }of which Oromė was the Quenya form, ...
EPE-EX-23.2: Sure the footnote is from the used source text and from JRR Tolkien himself. If footnotes are absolutley necessary can be questioned nearly in every case. The reference is to the long footnote just above about 'KAN'. So by all probabitlity it would only be a double reference to the same footnote.

EPE-EX-31.1: For the time being we should change it to 'Maiar'. If some other informations comes up, we are any time free to revise back to Mįyar.

Respectfully
