First it has the qualifier 'the first war of the West upon the North' and names the campain of the Valar against Utumno after the awekening of the Elves.
Second is with the qualifier 'the first War with Sauron' and means the attack of Sauron on Ost-in-edhil and deafet by the Elves and Numenoreans that follwed.

Other wise it is used with captitals in two places in my darft for the appendices. Where it is used for the strife under discussion here. In that part I am willing to change it without question.

Well - we were talking about the 'Tulkas comes; Morgoth flees' war, weren't we? I.e. the first, elemental war/battle?

But where in our draft are you proposing changing "First War" to "First Battle"?

[Findegil]

That was exactly my question (may be put a bit strange). Because the phrase 'First War' was not used in our texts other then what I mentioned in my last post. Thus never in the narative for the strife with Melkor in which Tulkas came and Melkor feld from Arda.
