Yes, this should definitely be changed. I think that we should assume a general change of gods>Valar for the whole project.

I agree with that too.

Regarding the two poems: the first one, The Horns of Ulmo is okay or nearly okay with Jallanite's emendations, I believe. There are some slightly awkward spots that we might rework if possible, but otherwise it looks quite good.

I wonder if you could provide us with the awkward passages that you refer to.

Jallanite's emendations to the Earendil fragment are just as good, or better. But I retain my opinion (from long ago it seems) that it's not appropriate to insert it as a song sung at the feast. For the intra-legendarium role of the poem is not a song sung at the festival, but the beginning of a full Lay of Earendil (so it is, at least, if Christopher Tolkien's conjecture is correct, and I am of the opinion that it is).

I agree that CT conjecture is correct, but I really like Jallanite's insertion in there. If we were to remove it to somewhere else, where would it be? Would we try to use it as the basis for another chapter perhaps?
