Thanks Findegil.

I suppose I could toss in another factor here: it seems that if the Annals were to survive (from an external standpoint), they were to become a Numenorean compilation in any case (based on communications with the Exiles, further based on Rumil's work), working with a notion of the Sun hailing from one of the Trees, and thus a new reckoning.

Anyway, if the Moon and Sun rose so early in 1500 as to be less than one Sun Year, as opinioned elsewhere, one might wonder why not move from 1499 to SY 1? Or again, why no notation if this 'year' was so considerably shorter.

Hmm.
