Celeborn and the forum

In terms of it resolving anything it is only in a minor way . The letter still keeps Celeborn as a relative of Thingol , but via the Amnian Teleri instead ofthe Sindar.
It seems though that ultimately any project will have to choose between the late or new conception.

re: marriage and first cousins , I was wondering if there was any text re: besides that which you mentioned [maeglin and Numenorean] it seems not. I will have to check out the UT note. UT has some of the most amazing nooks and crannies.

Tar Elenion feel free to throw in any ideas you may have re: resolving some of these knots , even though they are ot essential to the text we are presently working on [the darkening of Valinor] they are sure to need dealing w/ sooner or later.
Note to all:
the forum is after all more than just a board for a new Silmarillion , the individual ideas and theories behind choices that will have to be made are an essential part of it and participation in such debate and invsetigation is a whole other creature from editing texts w/ a/ the group require no formal or informal commitments.
