Re: those darn brackets

If you look at the thread where I posted my first draft a few days ago, I've just posted a bracketed version (which has yet to be read by anyone). I don't think that one's bad. A note at the top of the post will be enough. Not too commplicated either.

I've used [] around text taken from orbased on info from Sil, {} around text based or taken from text in HoME, and where I've used a new improvisation (once. I wrote that Melkor used his knife to stab Telperion, not the Noldo's sword), ** around either {} or [] (depending on where I got the idea). Seems to work okay, and as it is not too elaborate, it should be easy (realatively speaking) to read.

Tiron or Tuna. I think that all names in Sil should be left enitrely as they are, regardless of whether later forms are found in Morgoth's Ring or any other HoME book. 'Tirion' upon 'Tuna' seems fine; better that just 'Tuna' anyway. Tirion is the form everyone knows.
