Okay, I have taken up EPE-EX-34.5 and following gondowe's wish I have looked up the passage corrosponding to AAm year 1149 and would add to it thus (only EPE-EX-04.5 is new):
Quote:
§36 Therefore Ulmo drew the {Lindar [> }Vanyar{]} and the Noldor over the sea to the long shores beneath the Mountains of Valinor, and they entered the land of the {Gods}[Valar] and were welcomed to its bliss. EPE-EX-02 <AAm But when the Teleri learned that Ingwë and Finwë and their peoples were gone, they pressed on to the shore, and there dwelt in longing for their friends that had departed. And they took Olwë, Elwë's brother, to be their king.> {But the Teleri}They dwelt long by the coasts of the western sea, awaiting Ulmo's return; and they grew to love the sound of the waves, and they made songs filled with the music of water. Ossë EPE-EX-03 <AAm and Uinen> heard them, and came thither; and {he}they loved them, delighting in the music of their voices. Sitting upon a rock nigh to the margin of the sea {he}Ossë spoke to them and instructed them. EPE-EX-04 <AAm {In this year}At last Ulmo hearkened to the prayers of Finwë and went again to Middle-earth to bring Elwë and his people to Aman, if they would come. And most of them proved now willing indeed.> Great therefore was {his}Ossë’s grief when Ulmo returned at length to bear them away to Valinor. EPE-EX-04.5 <AAm For his care was for the seas of Middle-earth and the shores of the Outer Lands, and he came seldom to Aman, unless summoned to council; and he was ill-pleased that the fair voices of the Teleri should be heard no more in Middle-earth. >Some he persuaded to remain on the beaches of the Middle-earth, and these were the Elves of the Falas that in after days had dwellings at the havens of Brithombar and {Eglorest}[Eglarest] in Beleriand; but most of the Teleri embarked upon the isle and were drawn far away. EPE-EX-05 <AAm The kinsfolk and friends of Elwë also were unwilling to depart; but Olwë would be gone, and at last Ulmo took all who would embark upon Eressëa and drew them over the deeps of the Sea. And the friends of Elwë were left behind, and they called themselves, therefore, in their own tongue the {Eglath}[Egladrim], the Forsaken People. And they sought still for Elwë in sorrow. But it was not his doom ever to return to the Light of the Trees, greatly though he had desired it. Yet the Light of Aman was in the face of Melian the fair, and in that light he was content.> ...
