AK-SL-09: I think a lot of the point of this story is that Elendur is much less knowledgable of the Faithful and how deep his family is into it. So I think he would not be speaking Quenya so openly. Also, later on, he is very scared that Sauron's servants will hear his father speaking ill of Sauron, and urges him to stop talking. If he thought they were being watched so closely, he would not speak Quenya out in the open.
AK-SL-16.5: Agreed, I like this very much!
AK-SL-09.7: This is actually a very good point, and so I will agree to leave it.
AK-SL-10.2: Agreed
AK-SL-14.1: This seems to me to be a very risky thing to leave, but I suppose I cannot find reasons in our rules to change it, and so I suppose we can leave it in. However, I think we must equate Alkar with Melkor, since the first occurrence of the name is not explained. I think we should do it like this:
Quote:

'There{(15)} is Ilúvatar, the One; and there are the Powers, of whom the eldest in the thought of Ilúvatar was AK-SL-14.25 <editorial addition Melkor, who of old we named> Alkar the Radiant;{(16)}

This way it makes it clear that the name is specific to Men, and clarifies that it is a name of Melkor.
AK-SL-28.1: Agreed, this works.
AK-SL-30: This is very very true.
