Relations of the Longbeard Dwarves and Men - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

1) I like that change. I will name it DM-00.7 and provide of course the source information. But the change from Long-beards to Longbeards is the wrong way around. In such matters LotR rules therefore I added the following general change throughout:
{Longbeards}[Long-beards] per LotR if the Dwarves of Moria a meant.

2) I don’t think we should comment on this. Our texts show a very big variety of stills and tons on which we can do nothing and on which we did not comment at all. As long as the footnotes are from the JRR Tolkien and do not create a problem with our editing (as did the famous footnote about Yavanna) we should simply let them stand.

Respectfully
