I think we have three options here.

1. Delete "tallest of the Gnomes". There is not much harm in doing this - only that we lose a bit of description.

2. Change to "tall among the Noldor". We're allowed to do this by our principles I think, since it's a minimal change.

3. Change to "tallest of the Noldor save Turgon". This is the most direct way of dealing with it.

I see no reason not to go with 2 or 3. I'd prefer 2, though, since it has the virtue of being less specific.
