M-00.5: I think we should include the sub-title: ‘Sister-son of Turgon, King of Gondolin’.
M-01: Okay, we are lucky Ar-Feiniel was used no where else.
M-01.5: I think we should include the three names of the Lords to lead Aredhel:

And Turgon appointed three lords of his household M-01.5<Marglin, Note to the B(i) Glorfindel, Egalmoth and Ecthelion >to ride with Aredhel, and he bade them lead her to Fingon in Hithlum, if they might prevail upon her.

M-04: Since I am for including the names, I am all for holding this passage.
M-07 to
M-13 and
M-15 to
M-17: Agree, but we should add the source information into the editing markers.
M-14: I do not see a good reason for this change. In my view it is equal if the name or the fords of Aros is used. In such a case the original text should rule.
M-18: The example used was Galadriel and Teleporno from the later time when Celeborn was a grandson of Olwë of Aqualondë, as was Galadriel a granddaughter of Olwë through Earwen. And the
Laws and Customs where the marriage of first cousins was allowed if the paraents that were not siblings would be not akin at all. That could be the case with Galadriel and Teleporno. (I as well said that Celeborn by that law could have been both the grandson of Olwë and Elmo.) In the case of Maeglin and Idril, I suggested that Eöl as a tatyarin Avari could have been akin to Elenwë (supposedly a noldorin lady) and that by this kinship the Maeglins love for Idril would be rendered ‘a thing strange and crooked’. But in the discussion these arguments did not find the majority. And up to this point we did not make Eöl a tatyarin Avari. So equally if we revise this decision now, at least last the statements might stand.
