Nope. I would help you this way: What was Thrór to Nár? That was _____ to Elrond.
And I have to say "what" was Thrór to Nár. Even if it were gramatically correct, I couldn't say "who" was Thrór to Nár, because in this case it does not work like that.

Hmm
All I could find is that Thror and Nar were old companions. But besides that I don't know... Hmmm...and Elrond's old companion might be...Glorfindel?

Don't think about relationship. Think about what they represented. At certain point of time. *shrugs* (You will understand when you find the answer)

What they represented...
Hard to say. Maybe Elwing in this case. Elrond was spared by the Sons of Feanor like Nar was spared by Azog...really difficult to understand this.

No, no... what to say...
WHAT they represented... not WHO they represented... not relationship but... well, yes, what they represented... I don't know how to say that better... emphasise the WHAT... WHAT... like an... well, object... If you don't get it now, then tell me and I will post a hint that will aim at it from some other point of view.

Maybe they represented a pair or something like that. (not in the romantical way)
So would Elros then be the match for Elron do make a pair as well.
