Sorry about the off posts Estelyn, I figured you would have closed the topic a while ago (I sort of wanted you to). I would never have thought that Tolkien could make such a silly connection. Eldila are much more like Maiar than eldar. There is, however a very open "theft" in "That Hideous Strength" Lewis has a character make a direct refrence to "numinor". He also mentions Numinor as a peice of Tolkien's work in the foreword.
