I am pretty much in total agreement with you (Huinesoron, that is) when I say that my hunch is that Finduilas is refering to some far,
far more removed event than the slaying of Glaurung by Turin c. 10 years after that conversation.
After all, what is a "far day to come" to an Elf? I'd say, definitely not 10 years or so in the future, especially with Finduilas referencing the "tale of the World" with a capital 'W'.

If this is about the Last Battle, then it would come from before the amendments to the Second Prophecy in 1958, and the addition of Beren to the party that take on Morgoth. So like you say, it doesn't really touch on the main topic of the thread.

I'm not quite sure what makes you think that? Or do you mean that, the text being part of the CoH, it probably dates to before 1958? If so, then yes, I would agree.
