§37a (§20): I honestly have no recollection of what I objected to here, but I will review the section tonight or tomorrow.

Right - so the one mentioned here, whose hunting ground is in eastern Beleriand, should be Amros, no? In the text I have it is Amrod, but he never entered Beleriand as he burned with the ships.

Yes, I think I've changed my mind again and agree with you.

I still think the sentence isn't fitting here. In the Lost Tales, this final sentence directly sets up the next tale, the Tale of Earendel, the "one strand" that the tale has wended to. With our ordering of the chapters, the tale has not in fact "wended to one strand" until the exiles of Gondolin reach the mouths of Sirion. So I'm fairly set on removing this sentence here. However, I would have no problem with transplanting it to the end of the Fall of Gondolin.
