How could Turin return?

[Manwe Sulimo]

In HoMe IV, it also says that Túrin and Nienor became of the Valar...so he didn't really need to "return" from anywhere.

Melkor could be killed in the same sense as Sauron, yes....but not just in body. Sauron was completely destroyed, because he had poured his power, or life-force, into the Ring. When the Ring was "unmade", so was Sauron. While Melkor didn't have a specific outlet of his power, he did have a weakness in his chosen forms. He could not (would not?) change from the form he took during the Exile and War of Wrath until that form was "killed". He might (might have?) put all his energy into creating a body in the Void/getting out of the Void that his new body would the the *final* vessel of his power. Therefore, when the body was destroyed, so would Melkor.

Gurthang could just be reforged in the conventional sense (i.e. taken by a smith and reforged) or in the spiritual sense (another sword made of a meteor? that Túrin named Gurthang in memory of his original sword).

And, of course, this is all a load of cr*p from me, which might, somehow, make sense, or it may just be another one of my senseless ramblings that says nothing and means even less.
