To reiterate, I said that Glorfindel said something like "this wound is beyond my skill to heal". From this I inferred that Glorfindel had the skill of healing. A talent which he possessed at the same time as possessing might of arms; which was my point.

I never said anything about Glorfindel actually healing Frodo or not, because it is irrelevant to prove that he possesses the skill.

Thanks for the HoME quote phantom; this is relevant, and is sufficient to modify my position. Pity I missed it the first time. Still, a miss is better than a misinterpretation, hey?
