Re: DoV/Finwe& Miriel / the barrows rules of order

This is correct, sub-chapters were the intent; however a related note FWIW: pg. 299-300 concerning
Of Men "At the first rising of the sun above the earth the younger children of the world awoke" 'This depends upon an >>OLD<< version in which the sun was first made after the death of the Trees.'
LOL. Sorry.

One must also examine
Of Naming, and
Laws and Customs and decide on if the material needs repetition or should stand as additional detail as the appendix item it was intended to be.

us which phrase or sentence or word came from what source<hr></blockquote>
I suppose this could work, but would certainly add time taken to detail such notations, but as long as there are no time constraints...
I submit that where possible; using the paragraph numbers as supplied in HOME and adding the variant letter for 77 deviations would be easiest.

Agreed, but then they really weren't made to be scrutinized closely for origin as they were a private endeavor and not truly intended as anything else, but it is possible to do so nevertheless. I really sent them as an example, and as a spark to light the fire <img src=smile.gif ALT="

A somewhat dubious honor I believe. Something like the Umpire at a base-ball game I would think is an appropriate analogy, but without the authority. <img src=wink.gif ALT="

Of course this means that things such as the populace of Gondolin would have to remain 'mostly Noldor' as MT intends rather than the 'mostly Sindar' as
Of Tuor states as indicitive of the detail that must be maintained. Just wait until the Edain cross the Ered Luin; hoooodoggie! <img src=biggrin.gif ALT="
