Moreover, in its later rescension Turin is said to come not from Mandos- which would be problematical to say the least- but from 'the doom of Men'- which I take to mean beyond Ea, the Timeless Halls, and suggests to me at least the dissolution of boundaries at the Great End. And of course both Morgoth and Ancalagon would have to be in some way 'reincarnated' as well.
