Not directly related, but: Thuringwethil is described as a 'bat-shaped fay' (i.e. Maia) in the Etymologies in The Lost Road, entry THUR-, p. 393.

I do not find any discussion about Manir and Suruli, and I don't remember what was my reason to remove them, other than that a single mention in the place where they where encountered would only have caused confusion in a reader: If we do not mention and explain what they are, they have to be removed when later mentioned.

I am not agianst all these fay's from the old souces. But to add them in good way, without creativ writing seems to be not easy. Beside that all names of groups and induvidual will need a check if still possible in the later tongue (which I can't do).

Respectfully
