BL-RG-00.7: Okay, since the ‘like’ in the line before makes this a figurative description and a petrified wood (living trees being stopped from fulfilling their natural grows) has exactly that subtle touch of evil Tolkien saw and laid into Galadriels mouth, I agree that ‘magic’ can stand here.

BL-RG-08.5: Okay, ‘dark’-spark’ solution it will be than. (Since the restoration of lines will call for renumbering, which is quite an amount of work, I will only take up that task, when all active members agree that we are done with ‘Beren and Lúthien’.

BL-SL-03: What about this:
Quote:
So would they not that angry day
King Felagund their lord obey BL-SL-03
but sullen murmured that {Finrod}offhand
{nor yet his son were as a god}was not his right to command.
BL-EX-10: Do I see rightly that only the last couple is still not settled?

BL-RG-22: Seems we are all in agreement here.

BL-RG-10.5: I tried my hand at avoiding ‘would go’-‘follow’, and what if we avoid the curse here:
Quote:
‘We will remember it,’ they said,
and turned upon their heels, and sped,
saddled their horses, trussed their gear,
and went with hound and bow and spear,
BL-EX-10.5 alone; for none would follow their track.
Celebrimbor, son of Curufin, stepped back
at that time, and he disclaimed
his father’s deeds; and he remained
in Nargothrond. At last they spurred
their horses north,
and spoke no word
but sounded horns, and rode away
like wind at end of stormy day.
