That makes sense. so we are only comparing Gnome(Noldor) to Gnome(Noldor)? but since we know that Thigol was the tallest of elves(right?), and he is counted among the Eldar(the three peoples of elves that took the westerly march, as they were after called. origanaly all elves were called this, but when they set out, the ones who did not follow no longer carried that name.[right?])

so that would follow since he is of the Eldar, which the Noldor are part of, why can't we compare them? or is that not an issue? if that isn't an issue, i understand what you are talking about. but since Aiwendil explained it pretty good, i won't "recap". anyways, i hope all of this made sense. if not, i will try to clarify it up. (if possible.)
