So far I have been very reluctant to use material from the Appendizes of LotR if it could be avoided. I always saw 'Translation from the Elvish' as complemetary to LotR. Therefore our text should stand beside that work and not 'candibalies' it.
But I see the problem that we might face with that police in the part about the Third Age and I agree that with the Appandizes we could argue that these were drawn in short from works that 'Translation from the Elvish' should contain in their fullest available version.

So in the end I have to think a bit longer about this addition, and I would very much like to here other oppinions about the above mentioned policy and the issue at hand.

Respectfully
