Narn I Chîn Húrin 1: Túrins Fostering - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay, since we are done with Andróg and Mîm now, I will incooperate the changes we agreed on.

What is left from the discussion before, are the part of the Lay included in the earlier Narn by me and disputed half-heartedly by Aiwendil.
Form the arguments given it seems to me that we are here on the borderline of our principals. In such a case the input form more people is highly desired.

Gondowe told us in an other thread, that our work confinced him to take up parts of the Lay in his own version, but he did not tell if that counts also for the earlier part of the Narn.

So please Maedhros, Aran, Gondowe and who ever else is reading occasionly here, speak up and help us decied what to do.

Respectfully

It seems to me that the Lay was largely displaced by the Narn. And it cannot be thought to be the "Lay" Ælfwine (or Bilbo) translated either, as many of its details do not match the Narn. Even when it does match and provides more detail, I hesitate in using it, because Tolkien seems to have thought most of the Narn to be finalized. (At least, as final as any of his works ever got!)
