Tolkien

Two more proposed changes:

FG-M-02.05
In paragraph 29:
Thence he sent them over the Earth to seek {this Man who had escaped from the Land of Shadows, but yet far more curiously} and intently to search out the dwelling of the Noldor {that had escaped his thraldom}[of Turgon] FG-M-02; for these his heart burnt to destroy or to enslave.
I have dropped the { this Man who had escaped from the Land of Shadows, but yet far more curiously}, because the paragraph should talk about Húrin and not Tuor. Húrin in the Wanderings of Húrin, was let go by Morgoth and not escaped.

FG-D-02.5
At the end of paragraph 42:
and these were the most dire of all those monsters which Morgoth {devised} [used] against Gondolin.
The deletion of devised in favour of used is because of the general change that Morgoth didn’t make monsters especially for the attack on Gondolin.
