Sure. Ponder this for awhile:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> J.R.R. Tolkien UNFINISHED TALES; The Line of Elros.
Entry: Vardamir Nolimon
... He was called Nolimon for his chief love was for ancient lore, which he gathered from Elves and Men.

Entry: Tar-Elendil
... He was also called Parmaite, for with his own hands he made many books and legends of the lore gathered by his grandfather.<hr></blockquote>

Thinkin yet?

Especially since this was done around the same time as the two citations for the return of Aelfwine (named as Elendil in the text). Kind of a strange addition there dontcha think?

So; left field or what?
