I agree with that too.

I wonder if you could provide us with the awkward passages that you refer to.

Jallanite's emendations to the Earendil fragment are just as good, or better. But I retain my opinion (from long ago it seems) that it's not appropriate to insert it as a song sung at the feast. For the intra-legendarium role of the poem is not a song sung at the festival, but the beginning of a full Lay of Earendil (so it is, at least, if Christopher Tolkien's conjecture is correct, and I am of the opinion that it is).

I agree that CT conjecture is correct, but I really like Jallanite's insertion in there. If we were to remove it to somewhere else, where would it be? Would we try to use it as the basis for another chapter perhaps?
