I think the awakening falls under special circumstances. I mean, they weren't just 'sleeping' although that is one of the best terms to describe it, I would choose inanimate. The fea of the elves is what seems to cause the elves to show signs of aging, if the fea is not active, then it can't really have any affect on the hroa. Make sense?

What would be odd would be for Ilùvatar to come down into Ea after the Valar are already there and make the elves. It is just a little to fishy. Don't you think Manwë know if Ilùvatar started causing a commotion?

Anyway, that is what I think. It just makes more sense to me. I wish I could explain it better <img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":\">



Thus even as Eru spoke to us shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Eä, and evil be good to have been.</p>
