I disagree with this idea.
Valaquenta is a tale wrote by Rumil; there is no indication that there is insert of pengolod in this text.
For Ainulindale it s different, some inserts of Pengolod are present.
First in our introduction, it s write that:
Quote:
To it are added the further words that Pengološ the Sage wrote concerning the Valar, the Eldar and the Atani
|
And second in Morgoth Ring there is an indication that Tolkien used this type of insert
Quote:
§ 19 After 'when the vision was taken away' there is a footnote that seems to have been an early addition:
And some have said that the Vision ceased ere the fulfilment of the Dominion of Men and the fading of the Firstborn; wherefore, though the Music is over all, the Valar have not seen as with sight the Later Ages or the ending of the World. Quoth Pengološ.
MORGOTH`S RING - AINULINDALĖ - Version D - Page 32

Anyway for sur we can't put off this beautiful insert. But this add of Pengolod, that looks for me like a "sade remembrance", a spleen of Valinor, looks better like an insert in this text.
But it s my vision , but a vote is possible.
