[Maédhros]

I got that part from the following passage:
From Unfinished Tales: The Elessar

This gem Enerdhil gave to Idril the King's daughter, and she wore it upon her breast; and so it was saved from the burning of Gondolin. And before Idril set sail she said to Eärendil her son: "The Elessar I leave with thee, for there are grievous hurts to Middle-earth which thou maybe shalt heal. But to none other shalt thou deliver it."

What I proposed was:

Ulmo beckoned to him at eve. One evening he {calls} [called] Eärendil and they {go} [went] to the shore. There {is a skiff} [was Eärámë]. {Tur} [Tuor and Idril] {bids} [bade] farwell to Eärendil and bid{s} him thrust it off <EL [and before they left Idril] said to Eärendil her son: “The Elessar I leave with thee{, for there are grievous hurts to Middle-earth which thou maybe shalt heal}. But to none other shalt thou deliver it.” >

I suppose the tricky point is deciding whether "[and before they left Idril] . . ." is too great a liberty. This ties in with what I just said in the part 2 thread; I think that when Jallanite and I were looking at this (more than two years ago), such an insertion would have been considered too liberal.

From what I see from the Elessar essay in UT is that before Idril sailed she gave the Elessar to Eärendil. I think that one can reasonably suppose that Idril and Tuor were in the Eärámë, so looking at that I don't see it as that liberal. Certainly there are other things that I have proposed which have seemed to me more liberal.
