Let's not be hasty Hoom-Hom [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]. I believe that the parallel in between the fingers lost in LotR and also the hands lost in the Silmarillion were parallels intentionally put in the stories by JRRT, these parallels would be put in there to bring a type of closure to the story and cause thought on the part of the reader. Also, Tolkien was a huge proponent that History tendsto repeat itself, first demonstrated in the parallel im between Beren-Luthien and Aragorn-Arwen and continued through much of the mythology of ME. It seems that this was a way to end the story in a way like it began, with the loss of teh ring and a finger.
