Oh, right, didn't think about that. However, Anglachel-Gurthang seems to be a very special weapon made from the iron of a meteor. I'm not sure we should attribute the ability of the sword to speak to parts of Eöl's spirit in the blade. That could well also be part of the special magic of the sword.

I mean, Gurthang also was able to kill Glaurung with just one stroke. Unless we assume the sword pierced his heart or cut through a very important artery this isn't very likely. It seems that sword had the power to kill pretty much any thing.

The Pukel men are a different case. No idea how those did work.
