Any other coincidences you wish to magnify are extraneous, and I would suggest in the case of the Balrog, ridiculously irrelevant.

Hi, here's some more clickbait for you. I want YOU specifically YOU, to stay in this thread and fight me. I'll be waiting for you. Do NOT run away.
Tolkien Prediction #71 from my website...
That Tolkien would refer to Shelob as 'loathly' or loathsome'.
Hardly had Sam hidden the light of the star-glass when she came. A little way ahead and to his left he saw suddenly, issuing from a black hole of shadow under the cliff, the most loathly shape that he had ever beheld, horrible beyond the horror of an evil dream. Most like a spider she was, but huger than the great hunting beasts, and more terrible than they because of the evil purpose in her remorseless eyes.
As you can see Tolkien went all the way with that one.
The Balrog and Shelob are manifestations of the same idea. It's all right and left handed geometry (male and female) which describes the 'battle of the sexes' and the Loathly Lady theme which runs throughout the entirety of his works beginning at the Discords of Melkor. The geometry is created in the hands sequence of Ilúvatar. It's a dialectic. Plato's 'The Republic' and 'The Timaeus', the source for the geometry- Tolkien's use of the right-angled triangle, the Spindle of Necessity, and the dialectic.
There are 101 more predictions of that nature on my website which have been generated from the above understanding of his works. It's all geometry and mathematics folks.
I see you have none so far "Morthoron". Do let me know when you have one.
And you can see the hidden images in the cliff face which Tolkien left. Here's the oppressed, meek lady and the man who rules over her.

You may note the left wing of the cloak extended which is the same left wing in Priya Seth's anagram MINE HOLE FALL, HELD LEFT WING in her book 'Breaking the Tolkien Code'.
Here's the inversion of the oppressed meek lady- the Loathly Lady, the Balrog. This is the same image as the previous one but turned upside down.

And here's the Lovely Lady on the right of the cliff face.

The Lovely Lady I pointed out in the cliff face..yes? That's what the Balrog (and Shelob and all other manifestations of the theme) turns into- metaphorically.
Yes the transformation does indeed occur. Follow the link below where I posted my first prediction of the 102 so far...and read about how the female is restored from the south to her rightful place as the Sun in the north. And then come back here and we'll have a little chat...and you may see that I actually made prediction #102 predicting that the etymological root of the word 'attentive' was from 'to stretch' (I was correct..it derives from tendere "stretch," from PIE root *ten- "to stretch.") while writing the last post in that thread on the hoof.
You'll find the explanation of the machinery which drives the transformation throughout this post here.
